Kathmandu Blackburn GORE-TEX Jacket - Short Review

Snatched up the fully waterproof and windproof Blackburn jacket from Kathmandu a few days ago! Works brilliantly fully lined with GORE-TEX. Picked it up on sale too, along with some other great pants from Kathmandu, sure to serve me well on my hikes.

The jacket works absolutely flawlessly, especially in the Australian downpour. All the features like sealed zips and removable hood are in just the right places. There's no way you can get wet in this jacket.

From the Kathmandu Website:
"Whether you’re on a day-hike or travelling overseas, this versatile, fully lined GORE-TEX® jacket is the one you want with you. The waterproof, wind-proof and fully-lined Blackburn is a comfortable high performance jacket, at home on the mountain or in the city. It’s lightweight and easy to pack, making it the ideal layer whether you’re walking up the trail or running for the plane – nothing’s weighing you down. Removable hood and adjustable hem and cuffs."

I highly recommend you stop in at your local Kathmandu and check it out today. They've always got a sale on, and you're sure to pick up a bargain. To quote the friendly checkout clerk that helped me pick this perfect jacket, "You basically got the pants free and the jacket half price." Not bad for a $400 jacket and $100 pants...
