I have the Yukon which kept me comfortable when my WM Summerlite failed in the Lakes this winter - condensation/Akto, need I say more? It's just so well made and Drishell is very water resistant indeed.

Considering they haven't scrimped on materials, cut and features (hood,zips,storm flap) it's superb for 435 grms.<br />I've got this thing about lightweight tops not being so light for the Large size. Especially when you factor in compromises such as fit, lenght, hood, zips etc., This does it for me.<br /><br />Big Jack,<br /><br />I like the Orange, but I went for Black.<br /><br />AKKW,<br /><br />Try my tip. Put stuff on eBay. Then spend more than you get in for the stuff you sell! <br /><br />Something like: "Not another jacket!" yes, but I did sell some stuff on eBay. "Oh, that's ok."<br /><br />It's worked so far. But, this is the very last top I buy ................ maybe.Gordon Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955685488317618975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381515362913927434.post-89573515057201513592011-04-04T09:26:58.969+01:002011-04-04T09:26:58.969+01:00I'm not allowed any more kit Gordon.
