One thing to watch with cheap jackets....

I bought some for £ 10 at LBS a few years ago for the kids from one of these ultra discount stalls. Waterproof and very warm due to a padded lining. A bargain, couldn't go wrong for a tenner.

Until I washed them. The amount of water absorbed within the lining was scary, making them extremely heavy and completely unsuitable for use at sea on a rib.
