Regatta Packaway II Womens Waterproof Jacket
When the summer holidays wer looming and it became clear that it would be wet, it was imperative that i finally bought myself some kind of light weight waterproof jacket.

Advantages: If you like a thinking film, then this is the film for you. Disadvantages: Quite difficult to understand in some parts.
