The North Face Alpine Project WS (2012)

£225.00

This jacket is more suited to warmer conditions. It’s also a bit less bulky and lighter in weight than most, although the Windstopper membrane does effectively block out the wind and therefore boost warmth a bit. The brushed lining helps to wick some moisture up into the fabric, but isn’t the softest or warmest against the skin. The fabric is ...

Rab Xenon Jacket (2012)

£155.00

It’s hard to believe that something this light (290g, size 10 – lightest on test) can help keep you warm on the hill. But thanks to the super-light Pertex Quantum used on the inner and outer coupled with the warming quality of the PrimaLoft One insulation, the Rab Xenon Jacket packs heat well above its weight. As soon as I ...

Mountain Hardwear Kelvinator (2012)

£220.00

MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR KELVINATOR £220 Our rating: ***** Review: A classic-looking mountain-style down jacket, complete with hood for battening down the hatches when it’s really cold outside. As it uses natural down filling inside, it is susceptible to wet conditions, but a thicker grade of face fabric means that the filling is a bit more protected than in a really lightweight ...

Rab Vapour-rise Guide Jacket 2011

£150.00

The Rab Vapour-rise Guide Jacket is a new winter version of Rab’s popular Vapour-rise range. The Pertex Equilibrium fabric doesn’t have a membrane sandwiched between its layers, meaning it’s more breathable than many soft shell fabrics so you’re less likely to get condensation while wearing it. This Guide version is also warmer than the standard Vapour-rise jackets, thanks to a ...

Montane Sabretooth 2011

£150.00

The Montane Sabretooth has been a Trail favourite for a couple of years; it still offers an excellent range of features. The Polartec Powershield fabric has a membrane with tiny holes, which makes it very windproof while being pretty breathable. The fabric offers the right degree of insulation, so it feels reasonably warm and can be combined with a thinner ...

Mountain Equipment Classic Lightline 2011

£160.00

The Mountain Equipment Classic Lightline is only a tenner more than in 2007 when it was Trail’s ‘Best in Test’. Put it on and it is very cosily warm and ideal for sitting on summits in winter or making a brew outside a tent. The hood is well-insulated and has a wired peak so you get excellent protection in a ...

Rab Xenon 2010

£150.00

The most needed but least used piece of kit I take on the hill is probably spare insulation. It spends most of its life in my rucksack, but is essential over lunch breaks and when stopping to take in a sunset in winter. So this is one area where going lighter is important, but not at the expense of getting ...

Mountain Equipment Lightline

£150.00

This is a very warm duvet jacket, and it’s warmer than most others. It incorporates 250g of down insulation, and the shell is very water-resistant. The collar is also fleeced-lined. There is a little extra reinforcement on the sleeves and shoulders for extra durability. You get a removable hood too, which fitted well and had plenty of insulation. The two ...

Mountain Hardwear Phantom

£160.00

This duvet jacket’ s big advantage over most others is its 446g weight. It’s also very warm. The insulation is provided by top-quality down. The outer shell is very thin, which reduces weight greatly. Like most duvets you get two zipped pockets, an internal pocket, a chest pocket and a stuffsack . The collar gets microfleece lining around the chin ...

Millet Touring Hoodie

£160.00

Soft shell is such a broad category that choosing just one really depends on your definition and expected use of the jacket. For me, a soft shell is a garment that is more wind- and water-resistant than a fleece and also more durable, which allows it to be worn on the hill whenever you can get by without your waterproof ...
