I’m looking for a lightweight waterproof jacket with a hood, ideally available in the UK. I don’t buy jackets very often so I don’t know what I should be looking for asides from that broad category. Suggestions welcome!

    If the membrane itself is ripped up, there’s not much you can do. That basically means it’s toast. I guess you could wash and recoat with nikwax, but without the membrane, it basically becomes a water resistant windbreaker. You also wouldn’t want to use it in situations where you’d be working up a sweat because all that sweat wouldn’t have anywhere to go.
