Endura MT500 freezing point jacket

[Meepmeep]

Anybody got one? any good? like the look of it for the incoming great british winter but fair chunk of cash to splash without many reviews.

Yeah ..I've got a freezing point Jacket ..as well as 2x "Hard Shell" ( for want of a better word) and 1x Soft Shell..all MT500's.
It's a very warm jacket and you don't need to wear too many layers underneath when the temperature is sub zero..but its about as waterproof as blotting paper...saying that it will still keep you relatively warm even when soaked ..but it won't be lightweight.
My favourite is the soft shell for fit & feel and it does a reasonable job of keeping you dry ..but if it's teeming down the "hardshell" ..and hence the most expensive to buy is the one to wear .
As you may have realised I'm a fan of the brand and the oldest of the Jackets is getting on a bit and needs re-proofing frequently ..but as Jackware has highlighted above ..plenty of other jackets to consider ..
Edit : The Freezing Point Jacket was bought after my own input on the thread above ..I already had the softshell at that point but didn't consider it a " full" waterproof .
