Has anybody got one of the Aldi waterproof jackets from last week / this week?
If so, what do you think of it? Obviously hasn't been wet this week so not much chance to test the "waterproof" claim, but how about breathabilty / boil-in-the-bag-ness, fit, etc?
Usually use an Altura windproof soft-shell treated with Nikwax, which usually does fine - doesn't keep me very dry but keeps me warm enough not to be too bothered.
Wondering if, for a whole £20, it might be worth trying on eof these for really wet days or cold+wet days?

Looked very bulky to me. And I doubt it'll be very breathable. The worst combination really since you won't be able to stash it in a pocket if it stops raining and you get too warm.More problems but still living....0

Don't know about the waterproof jkt, I got the soft-shell one which is comfortable, warm (too warm so far!) but certainly doesn't boil-in-the-bag too much even then. Only £15 too.
Remarkably, it's over a week since I got it and haven't had a chance to test it in the rain yet!0
