Sprayway Zao (2012)

£160.00

Of all the jackets on test, the Sprayway Zao is the only one to have a Gore-Tex outer shell, making it waterproof – rather than simply water-resistant. An insulating jacket suitable for use even in heavy rain or snow will keep you warm, and it means the insulation is well-protected against the wet too. But the problem for walkers is ...

Sprayway W.N.W (2012)

£110.00

This jacket is new for 2011, although it’s actually an update of a classic model from the Sprayway line. It’s a straightforward, midweight fleece with an added Windstopper membrane. This wind protection boosts the warmth rating of the top without adding to the bulk, in a similar way to many soft shells. That extra layer of material also makes it ...

Sprayway Solstice (2012)

£35.00

This base-layer is made from eco-friendly Cocona fabric, made from the activated carbon of recycled coconut shells. It’s really soft to the touch, and the activated carbon wicks away sweat very quickly indeed. It makes the fabric very breathable too. The carbon doesn’t do a lot to prevent bad odours, though – so unless you’re one of those women that ...

Sprayway Equinox Zip

£35.00

The coconut-derived fabric in this top gives it something of a rough edge that can be a problem if used for long periods, with chafing becoming a bit of an issue. It is great at wicking away moisture during regular activity, although there is a bit of a problem with the collar – the double-layered fabric making it effective during ...

Sprayway Solo

£70.00

A highly wind-resistant and water-repellent soft shell, the Solo is made from durable nylon with stretch and DWR finish and zipped/vented map pockets. The lighter weight fabric under the arms has a stretchy crepe paper feel, and allows for an incredible degree of stretch and a great range of movement. The principal fabric has robust wind-blocking properties and excellent breathability, ...

Sprayway Discover Long-Sleeve Tech Tee base layer

£35.00

A lovely top – casual looking and comfortable enough against the skin, although it doesn’t match the silkiness of some. It deals with odour well, helped by the excellent Cocona fabric (made from activated carbon of recycled coconut shells). It also wicked efficiently and dried quickly, so it never felt clammy, even on a climb. The fit is quite casual, ...

Sprayway Torino

£80.00

A smart-looking but loose-fitting jacket. It is actually made from bamboo – a quick drying fabric with a lovely soft, although slightly rustly feel. The antibacterial quality means that the fabric will stay smelling good. It’s not fleece-lined so doesn’t provide much insulation, but works really well as an outer-layer on windy or damp days. Its lightweight, very breathable and ...

Sprayway Trace

£100.00

Velcro adjustable cuffs roll up easily when it gets too warm, and the fleece-lined fabric felt great against the skin. Polartec Power Shield fabrics are only 98 per cent windproof, but this makes them extremely breathable. The fabric is soft, making it feel like a fleece, but with the bonus of wind and shower resistance.VITAL STATSColours: Sunset, earth, blackSizes: 8-18Fabric: ...

Sprayway Crux

£100.00

A generous cut but comfortable enough. It has a nice long back and an excellent foldaway hood to stop the wind whistling down your neck. A little long in the arms, though.   Many well thought-out features – adjustable cuffs, underarm venting panels – but let down by a fiddly two-way main zip. The fabric also pilled under the arms and ...

Sprayway Squall Power Shield 2008

£100.00

This soft shell jacket’s fabric is Polartec Power Shield, which has a perforated membrane that blocks the worst of the wind while allowing maximum breathability and keeping light rain out. Inside the fabric there is a brushed fleece lining to add extra insulation, while stretch and good abrasion resistance make this jacket ideal for scrambling over rocks. The design has ...

Sprayway Mori

£80.00

A tight fit, but the fabric (which uses bamboo for its quick-drying anti-bacterial performance) is so stretchy that this is not a problem. Baggy cuffs, but performs superbly in the hills, dealing well with drizzle/low cloud and the superb stretchy fabric encourages movement. Excellent pockets with room for a map.

Sprayway Outlaw Half-Zip

£45.00

A great fit, especially in the body and sleeves. The recycled Polartec fleece fabric has plenty of stretch in it, enabling easy movement and making it easy to pull over a base-layer – even a long-sleeved top. The Lycra cuffs are comfortable and easy enough to roll up, while the collar is high and snug. The Outlaw’s recycled fleece fabric ...

Sprayway West North West

£100.00

This windproof fleece from Sprayway is on the huge side, with a loose, long body. The sleeves are also very baggy. A shame, as it has superb elasticated cuffs and the Polartec Windbloc fleece feels lovely against the skin. There’s no doubting its warmth or windproofing and the venting handwarmer pockets, which are at a good height for use with ...

Sprayway Savannah Pro

£50.00

This midweight fleece from Sprayway is long, with a fairly narrow chest and shoulders. The arms are also short and the windproof panels feel cool against the skin. In its favour, the high collar is lovely and snug. Heavier and bulkier than some, but keeps you pretty warm despite the poor fit. The windproof lining at the front is a ...

Sprayway Belay

£100.00

This duvet jacket weighs 726g; Primaloft insulation; removable hood has dedicated storage pocket; large chest pockets; stuffsack; collar drawcord; elasticated cuffs; hood fit is excellent; superb price. But not much insulation in hood; wired peak easily flips up in breeze; sleeve movement is better on some others; only warm enough for mild winters.

Sprayway Genesis TL

£40.00

This fleece mid layer weighs 576g (size L); midweight fleece, so quite warm; two hip pockets; full-length front zip; adjustable shockcord hem. But heavier than thinner fleece and warmer too, so not that easy to control temperature; pocket access is easily obscured by rucksacks belts; no hood.

But cuff and hem fit was loose (no adjustment provided); fit generally baggy; hood wired peak flips up; 730g (inc 28g stuffsack) is heavy to carry as a backup.

Sprayway Challenger

£60.00

This soft shell weighs 506g; 4-way stretch fabric which is very breathable; map-sized easy-to-access chest pockets; additional chest pocket; Velcro adjustable cuffs. But this offers very little insulation and is more of a windshirt; others are more water-resistant; no hood.

Sprayway Element Windstopper

£100.00

This windproof fleece from Sprayway is a pretty good fit (apart from the shortish arms) with a shortish body, making it easy to walk in. The high collar and soft chin guard are excellent, but unfortunately the baffle on the collar can tangle in long hair. A warm, good-looking hooded jacket with well-placed ventilation pockets and underarm stretch panels. Stiff ...

This soft shell jacket from Sprayway is just the right size, with the cosy fleece-lined collar a perfect fit for trapping warm air. It’s let down by Velcro adjustable cuffs, which have no stretch in them and so are difficult to pull up. Great on a cold day with a midweight fleece (200 gsm), the Challenger is light, breathable and ...
