The sort we tend to use down here are the shell type, no padding or lining
as you might have in  a ski jacket.

The shell type is better for temperature regulation. If your walking jacket
is not too leaky, it will do for the routes you have mentioned. Otherwise
break out the plastic, but do it here, quality stuff is heaps cheaper down
under.

Cheers,
