Wynnster Montana

£30.00

This waterproof is primarily a ski jacket, so it is very warm. The insulation is built into a waterproof shell, though, so it will keep your child dry too. You even get a zip-out snow skirt for keeping the powder at bay. Hem drawcords and Velcro cuff adjustment keep draughts out, while a stormflap on the main zip keeps water ...

Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket 2008

£33.00

A regular winner of Trail reviews of kids’ jackets, the Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket is still very hard to beat. It’s made from a good waterproof and breathable fabric with a mesh lining, so it should be comfy. The chest pocket and lower pockets are all zipped, with stormflaps to keep the rain out.

Tog 24 Baku

£35.00

This waterproof jacket has a little extra warmth built into it thanks to the Tricot mesh lining that traps air easily inside the jacket.

Wynnster Packaway

£50.00

If you are short on cash then this multi-activity jacket will do a reasonable job in a variety of situations – which is why it makes into the finalists. At 566g (size L) it is not too restrictive in terms of weight or bulk. You get two cavernous external chest pockets, which will swallow a map while being easily accessed ...

£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.

Lafuma Lady Lane

£55.00

This waterproof jacket from Lafuma is exceptionally comfortable. It allows plenty of movement for your arms and covers your bum without restricting movement. The streamlined, uncluttered design and the lightweight ripstop fabric are both excellent. The soft lining on the collar is a nice touch and the Velcro cuffs allow plenty of adjustment. Although not as breathable as some, this ...

Wynnster Cleveland

£55.00

This waterproof jacket from Wynnster uses Aquastop fabric, which is very comfortable and it’s slightly longer than most without being too long. It has a deep hood with plenty of adjustment and the Velcro/elastic cuffs are perfect. This will suit heavier builds. The Cleveland keeps a fair bit of bad weather out before starting to ‘wet out’. The hood, which ...

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 ...

Vaude Escape Full Zip Pant

£75.00

These waterproof overtrousers use a fabric that is more waterproof and more breathable than some lower-priced options, so you should stay drier. They also have a mesh lining, which again adds to the comfort levels. Fitting is easy thanks to the full-length side zips that mean these fit over any boots in seconds. This zip also gets an external stormflap ...

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 ...

This waterproof jacket from Tog24 uses excellent, soft Milatex fabric, and the fit is good, with Velcro adjustable cuffs and a drawcord at the waist. It’s medium length, which will suit many walkers, and the hood is deep with plenty of adjustment, making it comfortable on its own or over a hat. The weight, though, is staggering, mainly due to ...

Regatta Marella

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, ...

Sprayway Hydrolite 2008

£80.00

The Sprayway Hydrolite multi-activity jacket makes use of a two-way stretch fabric that allows plenty of movement for bending over handlebars, stretching for holds and generally being active. Best of all though the hood is removable so you can ditch it when biking for example. The pockets are mesh-lined, which adds extra ventilation to control condensation, while the pockets themselves ...
