Vango Flux 30 rucksack (2008)

£225.00

Montane makes a huge range of functional, lightweight jackets that are excellent for hill-walkers – and the event Halo Stretch is typical of their pedigree. The weight is good and so is the use of eVent waterproof and breathable fabric. There are additional reinforcement panels on the hips and forearms for greater durability. But the big difference is the addition ...

In the Mountain Equipment Morpheus (the women’s version is the Seraph) you get classic Mountain Equipment features like large chest pockets and a great hood with a stiff peak that moves really well with the head.

Montane Superfly 2008

£200.00

The Montane Superfly is an extremely popular multi-activity jacket. It is made from eVent fabric, which is now well-proven for waterproofness and breathability. Some seams are bonded rather than stitched to reduce weight and bulk. There are three large chest pockets that can be easily accessed while wearing a rucksack. You also get strips of reflective material for night action ...

Rab Vidda

£180.00

The high collar worked brilliantly in bad weather, but would have been better if it was fleece-lined. Will keep you totally dry and the eVENT fabric was very breathable. The large handwarmer pockets were really useful and easy to reach with a rucksack on.

Berghaus Temperance 2008

£220.00

It is not often that a new design of hood appears on a jacket, but the Berghaus Raptor hood was designed to make a real difference. To make sure they got the new design right, Berghaus enlisted the help of Andy Kirkpatrick (the climber with the funniest mountaineering stories on the planet). The original idea was to create a hood ...

Crux Torq 2008

£240.00

The Crux Torq is a very lightweight winter jacket that’s made of 3-layer eVent fabric, so it has top-end levels of waterproofness and breathability, and you will hardly notice it in your pack. The fabric felt nice and robust but also soft to the touch and ideal for fending off a winter storm. The design is very functional, having just ...

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 ...

Berghaus Paclite Trek 2008

£160.00

The Berghaus Paclite Trek general-purpose jacket won Best Value in 2007, thanks to its weight and features, and also as it is a longer option. The material is Gore Paclite, which is superb in terms of waterproofness and it is good in terms of breathability, but its main advantage is its compact nature, which allows this to pack down very ...

Rab Super Dru

£200.00

Rab is currently top the league if you’re in the market for a well-priced yet functional lightweight hill jacket. The Super Dru extends Rab’s dominance, being designed as a lightweight mountaineering jacket that’s also durable. The fabric is 3-layer eVent, a proven top performer, but you also get more abrasion-resistant fabric over the shoulders and sleeves. The length extends around ...

Montane Superfly

£200.00

This lightweight waterproof has a huge following thanks to the use of eVent fabric and great design. For 2007 it got a nip and tuck to improve its performance yet more. A scattering of bonded rather than stitched seams are evident to reduce bulk, while the shoulders are reinforced with a very unusual printed pattern. The most important update is ...

Berghaus Paclite Trek

£160.00

The longer length of this lightweight jacket is very appealing, particularly as it is lighter than many longer options! The material is Gore Paclite, which was a very popular lightweight fabric, until Gore Pro Shell came out in late 2007. You get additional abrasion-resistant sections around the hem and shoulders too. Arm movement is superb as the hem and cuffs ...

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 ...

Sprayway Venom II

£150.00

This lightweight waterproof jacket from Sprayway is just right – a good length in the body and sleeves, with elastic and Velcro adjustment on the cuffs. The zip-off hood is also a great fit and it’s nice to be able to remove it when not required, rather than roll it away under the collar. The face fabric is slightly rustly, ...

Rab Vidda

£180.00

The very lightweight jacket from Rab has a pleasant, technical look. The fit and length of the arms and body are good, and the deep, adjustable hood excellent. It’s very roomy in the chest, which will be perfect for some women. Although simply styled, the attention to detail is very apparent. The cuffs and hem are fully adjustable, the hood ...
