I had a Dare2be isotex breatheable jacket and wasn't impressed. Afaik Dare2be is Regattas snowsports range.

Confirmed. (Regatta also are Craghoppers & Hawkshead, which was news to me - source (http://www.imrg.org/8025741F0065E9B8/%28httpPressReleases%29/55229673E18BE2578025760E00559B33?OpenDocument))

I have a Dare2Be Jacket that I use for climbing and general wrecking about in because it was cheap and I'm to much of a scab to buy gtex! plus I'd wreck it. Its done the job and I'm pleased with it.
However If I were you I'd take that money and put it towards something better especially with killi coming up buy cheap, buy twice and al that. If you want a soft shell that's awesome then put that 30quid towards a "Rab Vapour-Rise" trust me you won't be disappointed.

I have a regatta coat and it does the job for the Mournes, but for Kili you might want try a step up.
