Rab Firewall Light Summer weight hardshell
Paramo Alta III Quite heavy, but good for cold, wet days.
Emphatically not a "gore-tex" type hardshell jacket. Perhaps something of an acquired taste.
Rohan Ventus Hard shell jacket for keeping the rain out
All in nice lurid colours for visibility on the hill

Claud Butler Ridge 2 Behold, an e-bike. It looked like the cycle to work scheme was going to be culled in the November 2025 budget, so I signed up in advance. In the event it wasn't but the bike certainly makes the circa 10 miles from Leith to Heriot-Watt (and return) pass more congenially. The range is quoted as 40 miles, but it seems to be slightly more with the power on 1 or 2 (out of 5), which is plenty for Edinburgh streets and cycle paths.
Claude Butler hybrid Old faithful, pressed into service more recently for Munro bagging.
Thule VeloCompact bike rack for getting the bike(s) to the starting point
Current Favourite GPS device
Garmin GPSMAP 67i It looks like a scaled up version of an old-school feature phone from a few years back, and it has the long battery life to match. It also has Iridium connectivity in case I have to send for the cavalry in a no phone signal zone or want to waste time sending/receiving messages from the middle of nowhere instead of admiring the scenery.
Thanks to Yubo Zhou Rasmussen for suggesting this page 😀
