Berghaus Voltage jacket – first impressions

I’ve been looking for a while now for a decent replacement of my aging rain jacket (I’m not sure what brand it is, but it has held up well over the years.). After seeing some suggestions in the T3, I eventually ended up at Fjellsport.no. Under rain jackets they have a wide selection, among which I saw the Berghaus Voltage. The description of this rain jacket looked pretty good, but since this is just ‘sales babble’, I Googled the product to see how much of it was actually true. Turns out… all of it! 😎
I even came across a video review by the good people of Cotswold Outdoor:

Qualities which especially matter to me are waterproofness (duh!), and breathability. Since I’ve had the jacket in my possession for only 24 hours, I can’t judge these myself yet, but first impressions are good!

Friday I’ll be off to London. If the weather will be as expected, it should give me a good chance to test out the jacket some more, both in sun and in rain.

For people within Norway I can definitely recommend shopping at Fjellsport.no. Placing an order via their site is quick and painless, and anything ordered (that is in stock) before 15:00 will be shipped on the same day.
For people outside Norway: They’re for sale at Amazon US & Amazon UK. Or directly at Berghaus, of course!
