Mountain Equipment Seraph

£240.00

A really technical-looking jacket with all the features of a top-quality waterproof. It’s comfortable to wear, with adjustment at the cuffs, waist and hem to fine-tune the fit, and soft fabric at the chin to prevent chafing. The hood is fantastic – deep enough for the biggest heads of hair, with adjustment side and back to lock it down tightly ...

Mountain Equipment Kongur 2011

£290.00

A frequent winner of Trail tests, the Mountain Equipment Kongur is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric like many others; but what I particularly like is that you get a little extra length in the body. You can still wear a harness and climb in this jacket, but you just don’t get as wet compared to shorter options. Also the ...

Rab Latock 2011

£280.00

The Rab Latock is made from eVent fabric, and this version feels particularly robust and hard-wearing. It does make the jacket heavier than some others (762g, men’s L), but it’s likely that it will also stand up to abuse far better as well. The feature set is ideal for wet or wintry mountain days, thanks to the four large chest ...

Rab Mountain Dru 2011

£250.00

New for this winter, the Rab Mountain Dru is a more durable and longer version of the Rab Super Dru. So it is made of a tougher version of eVent fabric with further extra reinforcement on the shoulders, sleeves and hem. The jacket is not incredibly long, but it’s longer than some others here such as the very similar Mountain ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus/Seraph 2011

£240.00

A well-proven jacket that has frequently been highly rated in Trail tests. The Mountain Equipment Morpheus for men and Seraph for women boast a great set of features that Mountain Equipment is well-known for providing. So you get three large chest pockets that can be easily accessed while wearing a rucksack hipbelt. The pockets are not mesh-lined, so they don’t ...

OMM Cypher Jacket 2011

£210.00

The OMM Cypher Jacket is similar to the brand’s Cypher Smock model, but with the addition of a full-length front zip and two massive chest pockets, which for me at least make a more desirable piece of kit for hill-walking. Of course adding a front zip and pockets increases the weight, but at 304g for a men’s size L this ...

Rab Demand Pull-On

£150.00

Uniquely, this top is designed in a smock-style, which harks back to the uncluttered designs of climbing kit. The result is a top with minimal stitching and fuss to impede its technical ability to shed water and breathe. As an emergency waterproof to throw on in a sudden downpour it’s great. The 3-layer eVENT waterproofing does make it more substantial ...

Marmot Crystalline

£170.00

The Crystalline is one of the lightest jackets ou there, but for £170, does it do what it’s designed to do? The fabric feels extremely flimsy, but it is waterproof; and it survived a few tough days in the hills with no sign of tearing. It’s also soft, doesn’t rustle badly when you walk, and is surprisingly breathable, too. The ...

Mountain Equipment Firefox Gore Active Shell Jacket 2011

£200.00

There are many waterproof and breathable fabrics out there, and for autumn 2011 there is a new kid on the block: Gore-Tex Active Shell. This new addition to the Gore stable is billed as their ‘most breathable waterproof fabric ever’, so if you are tired of getting wet in the hills from condensation could this be the fabric you have ...

Berghaus Mount Asgard Smock 2011

£220.00

With outdoors clothing, it’s on-the-hill performance that really counts when you’re battling against the conditions to reach the summit of a mountain. But it may come as a surprise to hear that not all outdoor gear is actually designed with performance high on the agenda, as price and fashion can be what determines if a product is a hit or ...

OMM Cypher Smock 2010

£180.00

Do you need a full-length front zip and big pockets? If not then you could slash your jacket weight by wearing a smock instead. The OMM Cypher is a smock that weighs in at just 266g, and it could be just the job when weight really does count. The Cypher is stripped down to the bare essentials, so you just ...

Paramo Alta II

£235.00

Páramo makes some of the most breathable waterproofs on the market, so if breathability is your biggest concern, the Alta II could be the waterproof for you. The Analogy fabric is almost rustle-free and so comfortable and breathable you’ll feel happy wearing it even if it’s not raining. The fabric is really easy to move around in, is totally waterproof, ...

Rab Bergen

£190.00

This is lighter weight shell-style jacket, and a great performing one at that. Although quite thin, the face fabric is pleasant to the touch (if a little rustly) with a tough, ripstop feel. In use the eVENT fabric performs extremely well, not leaking even after standing under a waterfall! There are no vents, and the pockets are not mesh-lined, but ...

Mountain Equipment Kongur 2010

£290.00

The Mountain Equipment Kongur is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell like most jackets here, so it is top of the league on performance. What I like about this jacket compared with most is that it is a little longer in the body, so it offers more protection. But the cut still allows this jacket to be worn comfortably with a ...

Rab Drillium 2010

£175.00

‘Best in Test’ in Trail since 2007, the Rab Drillium multi-activity jacket is made from eVent, which is rated as among the most waterproof and most breathable of fabrics so it can control condensation well even when you’re working hard on a bike, say. The tail is a little longer to protect the lower back when bent over handlebars. The ...

Rohan Elite 2010

£200.00

The Rohan Elite uses an exciting fabric called Barricade Laminate, which offers superb performance and yet is extremely lightweight. The Elite also gets a good set of features to make it not only waterproof, breathable and lightweight but functional too. So you get a good length in the body, full-length front zip and those all-important two chest pockets. The pockets ...

Rab Bergen/Vidda 2010

£200.00

A very popular general-purpose jacket that is becoming a modern classic, the Rab Bergen (the women’s version is the Vidda) is made from eVent fabric, so it offers top levels of waterproof and breathable performance. The front zip gets an external stormflap to help keep the rain out, and the pockets are sealed on the inside to prevent rain leaking ...

Rab Momentum

£175.00

The Momentum oozes quality. Its eVENT three-layer fabric is lightweight, yet still reassuringly tough, waterproof and breathable. It’s cut long enough to cover the hips, but not so low that it restricts leg movement, and there’s plenty of room for adjustment in the elastic drawcord hem and Velcro cuffs. But what sets this jacket apart from the others is its ...

Sprayway Anakin Pro

£170.00

The Gore-Tex Pro Shell ripstop fabric proved to be waterproof, tough and exceedingly breathable. The hood is one of the best you’ll get: deep and easy to adjust with a superb stiffened and wired peak; and the collar is quite high too. The pockets are well-placed – high enough to access over a pack hip belt – and they’re large ...

Low Alpine Flash 2010

£200.00

Lowe Alpine has used more waterproof and breathable fabrics than most other brands put together. My first Lowe Alpine Mountain Cap back in the early Nineties was made of Gore-Tex. Next Lowe made everything from Triplepoint, before switching to eVent for a couple of seasons. Then they swapped back to Gore-Tex again while retaining some Triplepoint waterproofs within their range. ...

A well-proven jacket, the Mountain Equipment Morpheus (the women’s version is the Seraph) boasts all the essentials for a hill-walker wanting to travel reasonably light. It is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, so you get excellent condensation control. Better still you get a stormflap over that front zip to keep rain out in a downpour. Also the pockets are not ...

Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat 2009

£250.00

The Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat is definitely one of my favourite jackets of recent years, and the benchmark general-purpose hill-walking jacket in my view. There are no changes from previous years and as this was ‘Best in Test’ last year it is up to the other brands to come up with something better to shift it from the top slot. ...

Rab Drillium 2009

The multi-activity jacket was voted Best in Test in 2007 and 2008, and it’s still hard to beat. The Rab Drillium is made from eVent, which is rated among the most waterproof and most breathable of fabrics. It has a scooped tail, which is ideal for mountain biking, and the arm movement allows the handlebars to be held without the ...

Rab Drillium

The Drillium is made from three-layer eVENT fabric, which feels tough and protective, and not at all rustly or plastic. The cuffs are adjusted with Velcro – perfect for venting when needed – and the hem and hood use drawcords to fine-tune the fit. The hood is superb: deep and cosy with a wired peak, yet it packs into the ...

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 ...
