Sprayway Challenger

£60.00

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 ...

Lowe Alpine Sierra Lite

£70.00

This soft shell jacket from Lowe Alpine is a good cut, and the snug, high, fleecy collar is great. However, it’s let down by cuffs that are too tight to pull up – an essential in this kind of jacket. Cut from a light and stretchy wind-resistant fabric, it matches the best in class for performance and handles rain slightly ...

Lafuma Djebal

£80.00

This soft shell was a runner-up in March 2006. If you are after a practical jacket that fends off light rain and wind while being more durable than fleece, then this is just the job. It’s made from four-way stretch Gore fabric. The result is that you put it on and you feel comfortable and ready for action while not ...

Berghaus Element

£80.00

This soft shell jacket from Berghaus is spot-on for size and there is even enough room to squeeze a midweight fleece on underneath in really cold weather. The fleece-lined cuffs are great, and the fabric certainly stretches well enough to allow complete freedom of movement. The Mistral soft shell fabric keeps the wind out completely and does a great job ...

The North Face Apex Elixir

£90.00

This soft shell jacket from The North Face is a great fit in the body and sleeves, and with a light stretchy fabric, drawcord adjustable hem and Velcro adjustment on the cuffs, you couldn’t ask for more. But although it was really easy to move around in, it didn’t feel as reassuringly warm and cosy as the best in class. ...

Montane Scarab

£100.00

A warm jacket, but the Scarab has excellent venting through the pockets and this, plus an excellent combination of fabrics (Pertex with a pile lining), means it breathes incredibly well so remains very versatile. Includes a roll-away hood, which is very comforting when it is needed. Yet despite all these features, it’s also very light and packs down well, too. ...

Millet Super Touring 2008

£160.00

Millet has produced a series of great soft shell jackets over recent years, and the Super Touring is its latest offering. It’s very lightweight and makes use of Polartec Power Shield to provide 98% wind resistance and very good water resistance, while maintaining a higher level of breathability than some other fabrics. There is good stretch too for extra mobility, ...
