Hi there,
Now that I bought my expensive but fragile down jackets that I don’t want to use for everday, commuting, etc – I need a cheaper, waterproof winter jacket :)
I thought that there must be a lot of cheap down or primaloft jackets in the 120-180$ range (sale, last season, etc) but it seems that it’s quite difficult to find good ones. I only found lots of cheap no-name products that I do not trust enough to buy.
I’m looking for a casual (e.g. in the style of a Patagonia Windsweep) winter jacket for temperatures to -5 or -10C and robust or even waterproof shell. Hood is not necessary, down or synthetic as well as weight doesn’t matter.
Can anyone maybe suggest something or give me a hint where to look? (I’m based in Europe).
