Bergans of Norway Super Lett Jacket (2013)

£150.00

The Super Lett from Bergans is a lightweight jacket at 435g (size men’s L), but what makes it better than many lightweight jackets is that it is made from a 3-layer fabric, so you get less clammy when wearing it. The price is a bit higher than other lightweights, but you do at least get a proper hood, unlike many ...

Sprayway Nyx/Eos (2013)

£150.00

The Sprayway Nyx (men’s)/Eos (women’s) is a former winner of a Trail ‘Best in Test’ award in Spring 2012, and it’s still a great a jacket. It’s made from Gore-Tex Performance Shell, which isn’t as breathable as the higher-priced versions of Gore-Tex but it’s still perfectly good and just as waterproof. There’s a mesh lining to add a bit more ...

Montane Venture (2012)

£230.00

The 3-layer eVENT fabric is light yet soft and comfortable, and it’s extremely breathable. It’s also reinforced at the shoulders. It has an excellent hood: deep and super-adjustable with a decent wired peak. And this combines with a high, soft collar. The pockets are a good size and well-positioned, and the cuffs are spot-on, with Velcro adjustment and elastic. The ...

Sprayway Odyssey (2012)

£160.00

The Odyssey is a well-featured 2-layer Gore-Tex jacket at an incredibly competitive price. It’s a decent length, and the cuffs are armed with both Velco and elastic. The handwarmer pockets are mesh-lined so offer some ventilation, and will just about take a map; and there’s a single internal pocket that’s good for a phone or similar. The hood is excellent: ...

Rohan Mountain Guide (2012)

£188.00

A heavy-duty, smart-looking jacket made from soft yet tough fabric. The fit reaches down to the upper thighs, and even the size small we tested felt rather large. It protects well against the elements, performing well on low to mid-level walks. There’s a decent-sized, pack-away hood with a wired peak, although this doesn’t offer enough protection for the side of ...

Craghoppers Kiwi Gore-Tex (2012)

£175.00

This is a superb 2-layer Gore-Tex waterproof that’s casual enough to double as an everyday jacket. It’s got a decent hood with an excellent wired peak; and the collar is high and fleece-lined. The external double storm flap fastens with pop studs: fiddly but solid. The main pockets are a little on the low side, and aren’t particularly generous; and ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus (2012)

£240.00

The Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric on this is superbly breathable and as tough as nails; and it boasts a great hood, with a stiffened and wired peak. The pockets are excellent (although they don’t vent at all) – the cavernous chest pocket simply swallows maps and guidebooks. The hem has drawcord adjustment and there's a helpful waist adjuster, too. The ...

Berghaus Mera Peak (2012)

£260.00

The Mera Peak is a classic that gets better with age. This latest incarnation is a comfortable, breathable, quick-drying waterproof that's great to wear – but it's quite a lump to carry. The face fabric is soft yet tough, and the internal lining makes it comfortable against bare skin. The hood is absolutely brilliant: deep and adjustable and almost impenetrable ...

Rab Mountain Dru (2012)

£260.00

The Dru feels heavier when worn than it actually is, as the fabric is a little stiff in comparison with others. But it’s as protective as any and it’s very breathable too. It has good-sized, well-placed handwarmer pockets and a huge Napoleon pocket that will swallow a map. The hood is excellent, with 3-way adjustment and a wired peak, and ...

Outdoor Research Paladin (2012)

£200.00

A relatively lightweight jacket made from durable and waterproof 3-layer fabric. The fit just about covers the hips and there’s plenty of length and articulation in the arms. It’s got a wonderfully deep, fully adjustable hood that really clamps down over the head and swivels with head movement, although the peak is floppy. The chin guard could do with a ...

Kathmandu Nerius (2012)

£180.00

A lightweight jacket made from waterproof and breathable 3-layer Gore-Tex Paclite. The fit easily covers the hips and there’s plenty of length in the arms too. The fabric is soft and comfortable to wear, although it doesn’t feel as bomb-proof as some others. The hood is a decent size and zips off, although it doesn’t offer protection for the side ...

Marmot Minimalist (2012)

£180.00

Cut from a polyester-faced Gore-Tex Paclite, the Minimalist feels more like a fattened-up lightweight than a full-on winter jacket. It’s a great bit of kit though, and its lightness and superb packability will appeal to those who prefer to leave their waterproof in the pack as much as possible. The hood’s good: with 3-way adjustment; but the peak’s floppy. The ...

The North Face Alpine Project (2012)

A lightweight jacket which breathes very well, is totally waterproof and feels great for energetic walking. The fit just about covers the hips and the arms are articulated for really easy movement. There’s a high collar with a strip of fleece to protect your chin, and a lovely deep, fully adjustable hood that protects the head and face really well. ...

Paramo Mirada (2012)

£220.00

This one's extremely comfortable and noticeably lighter than other Páramo waterproof fabrics we’ve tested. It is so soft, quiet and flexible you’ll want to wear it all day, even if there’s no chance of rain. It’s cut fairly short at the front, with a scooped tail to protect the hips, and there’s plenty of length in the arms. Protection from ...

Patagonia Piolet (2012)

£250.00

This one feels bomb-proof. The fit is long enough to cover the hips and hands, with gusseted underarm panels for easy movement. There’s a very comfortable, high fleece-lined collar, and a deep hood with a stiffened peak. The main zip is covered by an external storm flap with slightly fiddly Velcro tabs, but it does a great job of keeping ...

Berghaus Hurricane/Kirkby (2012)

£180.00

The Berghaus Hurricane/Kirkby (men’s/women’s) has a longer body than most jackets and while this may not be fashionable it is certainly a practical solution to keeping dry when hillwalking and backpacking. The benefit of this extra body length is that you can access the two base pockets while wearing a rucksack with a hipbelt, which is often not possible with ...

Rab Bergen/Vidda (2012)

£220.00

A jacket well-proven over many years, the Rab Bergen/Vidda has received a facelift this winter with a more durable version of eVent fabric being used in the high-wear areas of the arms, shoulders and hood. eVent itself is a well-known for providing high levels of waterproofness and breathability. The basic design of the Bergen is slightly longer than many modern ...

Patagonia Storm (2012)

£220.00

The Storm jacket has been a part of Patagonia’s waterproof offering for 20 years. The current version is made of H2NO, Patagonia’s own brand of fabric, which boasts extremely high levels of waterproofness and very good breathability. The fabric is quite a robust material, which gives this a stiffer and more durable feel, making it ideal for hard days on ...

Mountain Equipment Firefox (2012)

£200.00

The Mountain Equipment Firefox is made from Gore-Tex Active Shell, a fabric that is designed to be lightweight while controlling condensation well and keeping rain out, but it is not as durable as other Gore-Tex fabrics such as Pro Shell or Performance Shell. However having a jacket that weighs in at just 329g (size men’s L) is ideal for many ...

Kathmandu Breccia (2012)

£200.00

The Kathmandu Breccia is a very performance-orientated jacket with features that make it more suitable for mountain walking than many general-purpose jackets. It’s made from NGX fabric, and this features C-Change technology, which basically means the polymer structure opens when the user warms up, to increase breathability. You also get extra venting from the mesh-lined pockets. The body is long ...

Vaude Ortler (2012)

£165.00

The Vaude Ortler is a very lightweight jacket at just 341g (men’s size L), and in part this is because it is made from a very thin soft and supple 2.5 layer fabric, without a mesh lining. In the lab the fabric sports top-end levels of waterproofness and breathability, which makes this price very competitive; but 3-layer fabrics such as ...

Páramo Aspira (2012)

£290.00

The Páramo Aspira offers a highly durable, warmer, sometimes comfier alternative to the norm. Nikwax Analogy fabric actively pumps water away from the skin, through the material and out the other side. At 835g (size UK12) it is twice the weight of the average jacket here, but the Aspira is longer and has a similar amount of insulation to your ...

The Montane Superfly is the only jacket on test to use eVent waterproof fabric, which has a well-proven high level of waterproofness and breathability, although some people find it needs to be looked after more carefully to maintain its performance.
