How much do you want to spend?

Also out of interest where are you going to use it?

I would check out http://www.mountain-equipment.co.uk/

May be a little more than 200 but some really good cold weather gear (in my opinion).

Was just wondering if you are going on an expedition of some kind or just expecting a "The Day After Tomorrow" style Winter this year

You can never go wrong with a Columbia jacket.

wait for the new ones

£75 excellent for the money, in my personal experience

you are much better wearing a water proof shell over your insulation layer, rather than buying an all in one water proof and insulation jacket.

Was in much the same pickle for work, needed something to keep me warm and something that was waterproof and quick drying.

In the end, I opted for an Ex-police Goretex bomber jacket from ebay for £35 and an ex- british army Poncho (essentially a large piece of green tarpaulin with numerous press studs and a hood) for £16 from some army and navy place.

Already been out in torrential rain and wind and its bloody freezing here to, and I was dry and warm as toast.

Might look weird walking down the high street in a poncho though, but where I am working, Only the rabbits and badgers are taking the p1ss.
