Gelert Ottowa

£40.00

This is a lot of jacket for £40. It’s quite heavy, and doesn’t pack down that well, which certainly rules it out for lighter weight walking, but it is very warm, and it certainly keeps some light rain out. It’s reasonably breathable, too. The sizing’s quite big, so try before you buy, and this means the collar is a bit ...

Result Extreme Climate Stopper

£49.00

An awful cut and the shape of the neck is all wrong – bulky and tight at the front with a big gap at the back. Generous sizing with bulky sleeves. Soft, comfortable fabric, though, which worked well, but the poor neck design made it awkward to zip up properly, which affected overall performance. No additional venting and it does ...

Gelert Vesanto

£40.00

This windproof fleece from Gelert is a generous fit without being overly big. The collar is high and snug and it has elasticated cuffs, which are both comfortable and versatile. The fabric also feels soft against the skin. A simple but effective warm and windproof jacket that is superb value for money. Main gripe is the pockets, which double as ...

Timberland System Fleece Vest

£40.00

This fleece mid layer is a good all-rounder if you want some proper pockets but don’t want to look like you’ve just stepped off the cable car from the high peaks. The fabric has a tight knit, making it a little more wind-resistant than some without reducing breathability. The material also looks quite inoffensive and not overtly technical. Two chest ...

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 compression stuffsack is unnecessary; no cuff adjustment; no hood; no reinforced areas; no fleece lining in collar.

Regatta Guyot

£45.00

This soft shell jacket from Regatta is an excellent fit in the body, but the sleeves are frustratingly short – a shame as they have Velcro adjustment and would work well. The fleecy inner feels wonderful, more cosy than most. It’s notably less breathable than the more expensive fabrics, though. The pockets are quite small, but do offer some venting, ...

Regatta Invent

£40.00

This windproof fleece would score quite well were it not for the ridiculously baggy cuffs, which are really annoying as well as inefficient. A good fit in the body, with a snug high collar. The fabric is also easy to move in. Really light and compact, it keeps the wind off well and packs down easily. The baggy cuffs let ...
