Regatta Leonie II

£55.00

A nice-fitting jacket made from Regatta’s waterproof Isolite 5000 fabric. It’s a heavy jacket, but it packs down easily and some will prefer the extra protection offered by the mesh lining. Less breathable than many, but the mesh-lined pockets and underarm zips offer a welcome flow of air and Velcro adjustable cuffs pull up easily to the elbows. Pockets are ...

Keela Odin

£60.00

This multi-activity jacket weighs 578g (size L); reflective taping; pit zips for added ventilation; rollaway hood fits and moves with the head reasonably well; scooped tail; good freedom of movement; low price tag. But material not as waterproof or as breathable as higher-priced jackets; a map was a tight squeeze into the hip pockets; access to pockets obscured with rucksack ...

Marmot Precip

£70.00

This general-purpose waterproof jacket has been a frequent favourite with Trail, due to its unbeatable combination of price, weight and features. It packs down to the size of a bag of sugar, weighs only 358g and costs just £70. The Precip is made from an extremely waterproof fabric, while mesh pockets and pit zips improve condensation control. The front zip ...

Marmot Nano 2009

£90.00

As the name suggests the Marmot Nano multi-activity jacket is very light at just 240g (size L), and it packs down very small too. In part this is down to the material, Gore-Tex Paclite, which is designed to be packable and lightweight. But equally this is a lighter version of that fabric than some jackets use. Also superfluous features are ...

Páramo Cascada Trouser

£100.00

These are not your conventional waterproof overtrousers, and you will not have to keep these packed in the bottom of your rucksack for emergencies. Because of the nature of the fabric, design and construction of these trousers, they will not only serve as a really comfortable, well-thought-out walking trouser but when it starts to rain they will also keep you ...

Keela Spectrum

£110.00

Keela has long used its unique Dual Protection System to ensure the wearer doesn’t suffer from the build-up of condensation often associated with other systems. The Spectrum is a modern classic winter jacket using this system. It has loads of features including a removable snowskirt. The jacket is a little longer than some and so the two base pockets can ...

Berghaus Paclite

£140.00

This lightweight waterproof jacket from Berghaus has a simple, figure-hugging design that covers your arms and hips well. The high collar is not part of the hood, making it comfortable and versatile, and the hood goes on and off easily – a real bonus on rainy days. Fleece patches on the neck and chin prevent chafing. The Gore-Tex Paclite fabric ...

Haglöfs Lim Ultimate

£150.00

The lightest jacket in our test by a meaningful amount. The big saving comes from the simple pattern that is free of too many seams, while the use of Gore Paclite fabric offers good weight savings too. The jacket is very simplistic with only the bare essentials to keep you dry. So you get a hem drawcord to keep draughts ...

Montane has a knack of simply designing great outdoor kit and this general-purpose waterproof jacket is another pot of gold from this manufacturer’s mine of sensible design. It’s built around a no-nonsense eVent waterproof breathable fabric, which sits comfortably at the top of the league table of fabrics. For extra durability there are reinforced areas on the shoulders, and a ...

Rab Drillium

£160.00

This lightweight waterproof jacket from Rab is a little tighter than some, and also a shorter cut than most, which will appeal to some more than others. But it proves very comfortable on the hill, with a nicely fitting hood. While the eVENT fabric is noticeably breathable, it really needs some venting. It’s got a great hood though, with a ...

Montane Venture 2008

£160.00

The Montane Venture won Best Value general-purpose jacket in 2007 and it is still a superb option for the price. It’s made with eVent waterproof breathable fabric, which sits comfortably at the top of the league table of fabrics. For extra durability there are reinforced areas on the shoulders. Put it on and the scooped tail is immediately evident, as ...

Mountain Hardwear Quark

£160.00

This is a superb multi-activity jacket if weight is your priority, as it tips the scales at just 258g (men’s size L). The fabric is incredibly thin Conduit which is rated as extremely breathable and very waterproof. The fabric is stretchy too, which allows the fit to be a little closer without restricting movement. There isn’t any stitching either, as ...

Keela Menro

£160.00

This waterproof jacket from Keela is cut from a fairly soft, rustle-free fabric, and equipped with a soft mesh lining. The Munro is a comfortable jacket to wear, even over just a base layer. It’s on the big side, but that doesn’t pose too many problems as there’s plenty of adjustment in both the cuffs and hem. It’s an absolute ...

Haglöfs Oz Pullover 2008

£170.00

The Haglöfs Oz Pullover is an extremely popular jacket that is ideal if low weight is your main priority. It uses Gore-Tex Paclite fabric so high levels of waterproofness and breathability are ensured, while the simple design means there are fewer seams, which further improves breathability and makes the most of the weight advantage of Paclite. It is a smock ...

Rab Latok Alpine 2008

£180.00

Designed as a summer Alpine jacket, the Rab Latok Alpine is also at home in the British mountains, thanks to its use of great fabric and functional features. It is very light, and the eVent fabric is top of the league for waterproofness and breathability. The design is very simple with just two large chest pockets that can easily be ...

Páramo Velez Adventure Light 2009

£180.00

For many, the word ‘Light’ that suffixes this new, slimmer riff on Páramo’s cracking Velez Adventure Smock will arch an interested eyebrow. Páramo waterproof products have always been love-’em-or-leave-’em affairs for many, with praise usually centring on their freakish waterproof/breathability powers (more of which later) and durability, and excuses typically involving the words ‘hot’ and ‘heavy’. The original Velez Adventure ...

Rab Latok 2007

£180.00

This winter jacket is made from eVent fabric, so breathability and waterproofness are as good as it gets. Better still, the fabric feels a little stiffer than some, so it should be more able to trap warm air around the body in a howling winter storm. The hood can be rolled down and secured, and when worn it benefits from ...

Montane Super-Fly

£180.00

This lightweight waterproof jacket from Montane offers great ease of movement, especially in the arms, and the close fit and simple, lightweight design are good too. It’s a much shorter cut than many, though, and the collar, which is integral to the hood, isn’t as comfy as some. There’s a very spacious hood with a big peak that protects your ...

Well-proven to fight condensation and keep the wearer dry from heavy rain, Páramo garments have a broad following for their unique fabric. With this multi-activity jacket you also get extra ventilation from two zipped side vents. Behind these zips you’ll find access to a tunnel handwarmer pocket that is ideal for keeping fingers warm.

Páramo Velez Adventure Smock 2008

Páramo garments have a broad following thanks to their unique fabric, which controls condensation better than anything else, and keeps the rain out (and the performance can be maintained for life using Nikwax). Two zipped side vents on the Páramo Velez Adventure Smock add ventilation and give access to a zipped tunnel handwarmer pocket. The design is a smock, which ...

Paramo Quito

£199.00

A really comfortable jacket, and it boasts a great hood too; but at 490g it’s also heavy and not very packable. It’s an excellent all-rounder – warm enough and weatherproof enough for winter wear, yet just about light and packable enough to leave in a pack in better conditions. It is a bit warm for full-on summer weather, though, even ...

Furtech Claw

£200.00

If you are tired of condensation then give Furtech a go as this winter jacket is far more breathable than other waterproofs, thanks to its unique fabric construction. The Claw is also warmer than most waterproofs, again thanks to the unique fabric, but you get side venting if needed. So use it in cold, wet winter weather and it should ...

Crux Flak

Designed as a functional, uncompromising climbing jacket, the Flak is made of 3-layer eVent fabric, so it has top-end levels of waterproofness and breathability. The fabric felt nice and robust too, and ideal for fending off a winter storm. The design is frills-free with just a pair of Napoleon chest pockets that can swallow guidebooks and gloves. The hood is ...
