Someone has mentioned this as well! I'll definitely do some more research on how to do that kinda stuff because I really like that concept!

Yes I'm looking for a regular one with sleeves, but great tip anyway if no sleeves don't matter for the certain use case, thank you!

That looks great too, thank you for sharing!

Oh I didn't think it was that easy to do. Thank you for all the info, I'm going to research that a bit more!

I've looked them up a bit and I love the idea that they can also just be rewaxed! However, I gotta admit I think right now they are a bit too expensive for me. Most of them easily cost two or three times as much as the technical jackets I've been looking at. I will do some more research tho, and definitely keep that kind of clothing in mind just because I think it's a really cool way to make them weatherproof

I didn't even know fabrics like that exist, gonna look it up right away, thank you!

 

Good evening folks! I am looking for a decent waterpoof jacket but getting kinda stumped at the options.

While I would mainly use it for just taking walks, I do want something a little better that I could possibly use on hikes and such as well (might as well get a better one right away in case I ever decide to do something like that).

Now, I've found Jack Wolfskin have some nice looking ones (in particular the Elsberg 2,5l), but opinions on the brand seem to differ a lot.

So I wanted to ask if anyone can recommend a good brand I can get in Europe that fits my budget and delivers decent quality. Thanks everyone in advance!

Damn this looks amazing, definitely gonna add it to the list of locations to visit! Places like that were exactly what I was hoping to see 👀

Will definitely do! Wanted to get some better gear and do some hiking for a while, great that I now actually have a reason to do it hahah

Thank you!! Love that there are botanic gardens in Edinburgh, I'll definitely have to inlcude them in my plans now hahah Also great tip on packing good waterproof gear. Don't really have any rn and most likely would've never thought about it if y'all wouldn't have mentioned the rainy weather there hahah

This is awesome input, thank you! I'm very inexperienced at hiking, but Walk Highlands looks great to search for easier paths and still get to enjoy it. I'll definitely have to up on my hiking gear

 

I'm thinking of taking a holiday in Scotland, but frankly, I have no idea what I'd be doing there (nor have I ever been on holiday somewhere else tbh, so I'd love to do some planning beforehand). I really want to enjoy the nature and landscapes there and I'm sure there must be a few not so tourist-y gems I could plan on visiting.
