hogglet Apr 2012 1:00pm, 20 Apr 2012 5 posts	0 hogglet Well, it was pouring down yesterday until about 5 minutes before I stepped out the door. Decided not to take off the jacket as I expected some rain within the next 2 and a half hours. It stayed bone dry, but windy! Towards the end of my run, water (sweat) was dripping out from inside my sleeves, having accumulated by my elbows ! Not pleasant, but warm at least. As for fully waterproof clothing, I have Berghaus Paclite jacket and bottoms for walking... never let the rain in yet, but not ideal for running in...

hogglet Apr 2012 2:12pm, 21 Apr 2012 6 posts	0 hogglet Muddle, I couldn't be bothered to keep taking it off and putting it back on to tell the truth. Was fairly windy, even when the sun did come out, and I figured I would get slightly cold as the wind whipped across the sweat on my back! Can't win either way

I'm after a running top, light in weight, waterproof, that can be folded up and take next to no spa...
