Hi all, 
Love this list and very excited that I found the number for guide lights and gadgets. I want a jacket that is thin with a weather proof outside and fleece inside. I got a nice one on amazon but it has one velcro across the chest and a small portion of the belly. It really just covers the back. I don't want a heavy one because pinta doesn't get super cold it's just when we are waiting for trains or buses. Would the over coat or cloud chaser be better? 
Thanks
