Columbia Mission Air II (2012)

£80.00

The Columbia Mission Air II is a soft and lightweight jacket that is also compact enough to stash in a rucksack, just in case it rains, while being comfortable enough to wear as a windcheater when there’s a breeze. It’s made from Columbia’s Omni-Tech fabric with a mesh lining for added comfort. The style is quite short, so like most ...

Target Dry Pioneer/Odyssey (2012)

£95.00

The Pioneer/Odyssey forms part of Target Dry’s Xtreme range, and it is designed as a 4-season garment. It’s made from a very robust nylon fabric that feels quite capable of withstanding years of abuse in the mountains, and there is a mesh lining to increase comfort too. The drawback of this combination is that this is the heaviest jacket on ...

Montane Atomic (2012)

£100.00

The Montane Atomic has been around for some years, but it is now made from Pertex Shield, a very thin and lightweight laminated fabric with a print finish on the inside.

Sprayway Nyx/Eos 2012 (2012)

£125.00

From the word go the Sprayway Nyx / Eos is a very comfortable jacket thanks to the use of a mesh lining inside the Gore-Tex Performance Shell, which has higher waterproofness and breathability ratings than many materials featured here. Put it on and it has a relatively soft feel, although it is very short and exposes more of your waist ...

Berghaus Vinson 2012 (2012)

£120.00

The Vinson is made from Berghaus’s AQ2 fabric, which is very soft and flexible. A mesh lining further adds to the comfort provided by this jacket. The fabric doesn’t boast the performance ratings of Gore-Tex Performance Shell for example, as featured in other Berghaus jackets, but it is a good low-priced option. There is slightly more length in this jacket ...

Páramo Long Gaiters (2012)

£52.00

Páramo Long Gaiters are very well-proven. Like Páramo waterproof clothing they benefit from a fabric that is extremely durable, and even if it does become torn it is more easily repaired than other waterproof fabrics. The fabric is slightly warmer than some others, but it’s also more breathable and controls condensation well. The gaiter is fitted with a zip that ...

Montane Minimus Jacket 2011

£120.00

Weighing in at just 220g (men’s L) and packing down into its own apple-sized stuffsack makes the Montane Minimus Jacket a true ultralight option. Much of the weight saving comes from the fabric, which is Pertex Shield, and in the lab it gives top-end breathability and waterproof performance figures. And it does all that for an incredible £120, making it ...

Sprayway Rhythm

£130.00

The Rhythm is a pleasant jacket to wear with a rugged outer fabric that avoids some of the plasticky feeling you often get on the inside of some lightweight jackets. The Cocona technology really does seem to work at increasing the breathability of the top, with moisture soon lifting away from the body and preventing any clamminess on the inside, ...

Montane Minimus

£120.00

An incredibly lightweight waterproof, weighing in at a cool 180g (size 12). The Pertex Shield fabric is very light and easy to move in, although it does feel a little on the flimsy side and is fairly noisy, too. It will withstand a good beating from the rain, though, and its waterproofness is helped by a decent storm flap hidden ...

Sprayway Hydrolite

£60.00

These are rugged, cleanly designed bad-weather trousers. The Hydrolite fabric is waterproof, with good breathability levels and the huge side zips offer such cracking venting that you never need sweat in them. The zips extend about four-fifths of the way up the leg and make them a doddle to get into. Although exposed, they do have an internal storm flap ...

Outdoor Research Transcendence Hoody

£145.00

A down jacket with a hood, and it’s insulated too, which really adds critical extra warmth when needed. There’s a decent amount of cinch adjustment on the inside of the collar as well as at the back of the hood itself to help achieve a good fit and seal out the wind. Elasticated cuffs also assist with the seal, but ...

Berghaus Blencathra

£100.00

A walking-specific jacket, with a reasonable price tag and plenty of useful features, including the ability to zip in a fleece. The fabric is softer than that of the more technical jackets although not necessarily quieter, and it did perform well against the wind and rain in general use. The traditional cut of the fabric isn’t so well fitted with ...

£120.00

The use of Entrant fabric keeps the price of the Montane Atomic DT 2.0 down, yet it still offers very good waterproof and breathable performance. The jacket is a typically performance-orientated design from Montane, so you get a relatively close and short style but it still maintains good freedom of movement.
