Reckon this is good?

Seems very decent, albeit boring design.

yep thats a good jacket, I have an older version in the same fabric as a backup. Should be reasonably warm, if you get chilly just throw a fleece on underneath. Dont bother about getting one that zips in, as the zips give a cold spot at the front. Regatta stuff used to be seen as a bit of a joke, but they purchased a couple of companys and really improved, I have one of their backpacks and its as good as the more expensive stuff and a lot cheaper.

If you want to go slightly more upmarket, try get a Helly Hansen soft shell in the sales, ooh lala

get a buffalo special 6 shirt, mine is amazing, wind proof, rain(monsoon) proof. warm as a night in a sleeping bag with miss cuthbert

Check out millets, they normally do stuff like this,

Some interesting goods on their site, prices arent bad either

Thinking of going for the good berghaus or peter storm fleece + lightweight, waterproof packaway shell route.

So the fleece:

Although this Berghaus RG1 jacket is nice, if its warm enough:

How much cheaper? I need a decent and preferably "technical" dayly backpack. Nothing big though

Personally, I would just go with a tripple layered trash bag. So what if I look homeless?

Waterproof and windproof and cheap is easy.

Waterproof and windproof and breathable and cheap isn't.

How much do you think i'd have to pay for the latter?

Out of the jackets mentioned I would go for the regatta waxbill for value for money, its going to be brethable enough unless you are doing heavy duty moutain biking or running. If your after a rucksack go and try a couple on they all have varying backlengths, even a loaded 35Lt pack can be very uncomftoable if it does not fit. But you can get a good pac for around twenty to thirty quid.
