Wynnster Stowaway 2008

£30.00

The Wynnster Stowaway multi-activity jacket is a low price; waterproof, breathable fabric; hood rolls into collar; map-sized chest pocket; front zip gets double stormflap. But 550g (S) is very heavy; higher price brings better fabric; hip pocket access is easily obscured by rucksack belts; hood drawcords left to flap; large, soft peak obscures vision.

Peter Storm HighLite

£50.00

The Peter Storm HighLite general-purpose jacket weighs just 554g (women’s M); low price; waterproof and breathable StormTech fabric; two deep hip pockets; mesh lining adds comfort; hood rolls into collar.

Peter Storm Ravine

£60.00

This waterproof jacket from Peter Storm provides plenty of room across the chest and arms, but is very tight around the hips. It’s a long jacket that covers your bum well, with a drawcord at the waist to ensure a snug fit. However, the nylon fabric rustles a lot and more adjustment in the cuffswould be good. A fairly heavy-duty ...

Lafuma LD Lane

£60.00

Disappointingly the hood was a bit small, and could have done with a stiffer peak. Will keep your body dry, but not your face in heavy rain. Large well-placed handwarmer pockets, but the pit zips were fiddly to operate and provided very limited ventilation.VITAL STATSColours: Bright red, meadow green, fresh blue, khakiSizes: XS-XXLFabric: Climaway RipstopKey features: Hood that stows into ...

Regatta Benthos

£75.00

A good fit – roomy enough without being baggy and with decent length sleeves that adjusted easily. The hood could be bigger, but general comfort was good, especially for the price. Quite bulky and heavy, but kept the rain out well. Breathability was okay, aided by venting pockets in the chest. Would have sneaked an extra mark with a stiffer ...

Regatta Marella

£80.00

This waterproof jacket from Regatta is heavy, and quite long in the body, which will suit some more than others, but the arms are just a bit too long. The Isotex fabric is a little stiff to walk in comfortably and the collar, although nice and high, is also too stiff to feel really comfy. In its favour, the hood ...

Craghoppers Madigan

£80.00

A good length in the arms and body. The zip-off hood is rather small, though, and didn’t protect the sides of the face too well. A feminine looking jacket that will keep you dry, although the AquaDry fabric isn’t the most breathable. The insulated “hot pockets” were certainly very warm and large map pocket was a bonus.VITAL STATSColours: Cloud blue, ...

Gelert Hawkesbury

£80.00

A good length in the arms with useful Velcro on the cuffs, but the body was baggy and the hood insubstantial. The soft-ish fabric was easy enough to move about in. One of the less breathable fabrics, but the pit zips and adjustable cuffs helped a little. Well-placed hip pockets, but not sure about the tiny pocket on the chest. ...

Outdoor Scene Felix

£82.50

Decent adjustment at the hem and cuffs. Soft, quiet nylon fabric, but the hood was a tad small. Noticeably less breathable than dearer jackets, but not as hot as some due to a slightly lighter fabric. Kept the rain out, but let down by the small hood with a floppy, ineffective peak.VITAL STATSColour: BlackSizes: S-XXLFabric: 100% Nylon Dobby with milky ...

But 934g (men‘s size L) is getting heavy; higher level of fabric waterproofness and breathability come with higher price tags; ...

Keela Cumulus

£100.00

The soft fabric rustled a little but was easy to move in. No problem with fit – good length in the body and sleeves and plenty of adjustment. Hood quite small, though. Kept the rain out, but very sweaty, even with the venting pockets and pit zips wide open. Light and reasonably compact in a rucksack, though, and the chest ...

This general-purpose waterproof jacket is an excellent price; superb fabric performance; two deep hip pockets and two chest pockets; venting pit zips; hood has good adjustment and reasonable movement. But 878g (men’s size L) is a little bit heavier than some; hood is a bit of a mess with flappy, wraparound chinguards; the chest pockets are very unusual as the ...

Rohan Mountain Pas

A huge jacket, long at the hem and baggy in the body. Good adjustment at the cuffs and hood, though, and a pleasant rustle-free fabric. Soft fleece chin guard. Kept the weather out, but heavy and bulky in a pack and rather hot on milder days. The hood worked well, but the horizontal opening hip pockets were difficult to reach ...

Marmot Palisades

£170.00

Lovely and snug with soft, rustle-free fabric and fleece-lined collar. Has a wonderfully deep hood, too, but it was really hard to do up properly. An attractive jacket which will keep you totally dry. However, the hood was much too fiddly to do up securely in the wind, and it comes with features for skiing, which many won’t need.VITAL STATSColours: ...

A nice length, but baggy in the body and long in the sleeves, although good adjustment overcomes some of this. The hood’s rather small too. Nice touches include fleece for the pocket linings and around the chin. A heavy jacket that keeps the weather out but takes up a lot of space in a pack. Very hot in use, although ...
