Staying warm and dry scouting

As we move across Autumn, one consideration has to be staying warm and dry as while you might get away with just a pack a way cagoule  just to keep showers off you we often get heavy showers and with it cold which is  bad combination.

This Regatta jacket is pretty good as it has a built in fleece for extra warmth, a fully water proof outer skin and the main zip covered by a flap to keep the slightest rain away from you.

Another thing that is handy are zipped pockets so nothing falls out hiking and this has two plus two small intermal pockets for a wallet and mobile phone.
