I bought one a couple of months ago. Nice piled sort of fabric on the inside and very warm. I feel the cold big time, normally it does me on it's own, but on extra cold frosty days, a Helly Hanson top underneath and I have no problems.

Teamed it up with the matching tights as well and if I say so myself, I reckon I look damned cool! An excellent buy all round, can't recommend it enough.

Hey Tommy, I bought one of these only a few weeks ago and have run it it at 4-5 times so far, mostly with a Lowe Alpine or Helly base layer, in temperatures of < 5 degrees (Aberdeenshire). Certainly kept me nice and warm. Today (21-Jan-07) it snowed on our 2 hour run, and I had it as a base layer. Got a bit of the old nip rub, but not too bad. It got a little damp through my crappy Ronhill Vizion, but not uncomfortably so.

In summary, I like it an would certainly buy another (unlike the Ronhill).

They're gorgeous. I was going to buy one yesterday, but the shop didn't have my size :o(

I have lots of the Brrooks Nightlife stuff and it's very good.
