Should I get the Rab Flashpoint or the Haglofs Gram Comp Pull I? Both seem to have 777 fabrics and I can have each for about 175$ Is one of them better over the other or are they rather comparable? Thanks, Sven

I have used the Rab Flashpoint on diverse multi-day hikes this year and I absolutely love it. It is VERY breathable. Even when working hard uphill (with a light LS-baselayer underneath) I never felt extremely clammy or uncomfortable. It also has a very nice hood and just one Napoleon-style pocket + even after extensive use it still looks like the day I bought it. I have no experience with the Haglöfs BUT the Flashpoint has a full zipper. To me that's an advantage, but that's pretty personal. All in all, I really love the Flashpoint.
I picked one up recently due to the glowing reviews posted here- my large weighs 6.7 oz, that's pretty svelte for a 3 layer rain jacket (it's pretty light for a 2 or 2.5 layer rain jacket!). I've only worn it a couple of time thus far, but I like it. Unless I'm saving a ton of weight, I also prefer a full zip to a pullover. Took me several months to find the Flashpoint on sale (or at least the sale price I wanted to pay), appears to be worth the wait.
Tell us where to get it for 175…. please. billy
Billy, don’t forget Sven is in Europe. The cheapest I’ve seen the Flashpoint is the equivalent of $185 here if you have a friend in the UK who can post it out to you.
