Mountain Equipment Shroud (2012)

£80.00

A technical style of fleece designed to perform well on the hill as part of a technical layering system. It’s a little too lightweight for wearing on a blustery day without a few other layers, and is really for those moving a little faster. Microfleece fabric provides most of the warmth, and allows moisture to wick away to outer layers. ...

Mountain Equipment Astral Hooded

£120.00

Lightweight and incredibly comfortable in a lovely feminine yet sporty design, the Astral is fleece-lined throughout, with lovely soft cuffs and chin guard. The fabric provides a decent amount of insulation and is also incredibly weather-resistant and very breathable. It’s stretchy, too, with Powerstretch panels under the arms for extra venting. It comes with a fully adjustable rollaway hood, which ...

Sprayway Torino

£80.00

A smart-looking but loose-fitting jacket. It is actually made from bamboo – a quick drying fabric with a lovely soft, although slightly rustly feel. The antibacterial quality means that the fabric will stay smelling good. It’s not fleece-lined so doesn’t provide much insulation, but works really well as an outer-layer on windy or damp days. Its lightweight, very breathable and ...

Merrell Stowe

£60.00

A lightweight, stretchy jacket with a nice feminine design. The cuffs are quite tight, meaning they won’t pull up easily, and there’s no drawcord adjustment at the hem. The collar is quite low too, and there isn’t a proper fleece lining meaning that it’s not the best jacket for really cold days. However it performs well as a windproof and ...

The North Face Apex Elixir

£90.00

Very light, the Elixir feels more like a windshirt; it’s also cut from a very stretchy fabric (10% Elastane) which further exaggerates this lightness. Against it, it doesn’t offer much insulation as a mid-layer. On the hill, in mild conditions, it excels; keeping a reasonable amount of precipitation at bay and breathing wonderfully, but when the going gets a bit ...

GoLite Gamut

£100.00

The Gamut blurs the lines between soft shell and waterproof, being totally waterproof with taped seams. In action it feels like a soft shell against the skin, but actually resembles a waterproof in terms of warmth, weather resistance and breathability, meaning it offers little insulation and is one of the least breathable jackets tested. In its favour, it’s incredibly light, ...

Berghaus Paclite

£140.00

A hard-to-beat lightweight waterproof that doesn’t compromise on comfort. The Gore-Tex fabric is lightweight, soft and easy to move in, and the collar and chin guard have a smooth fleece lining. The collar and hood are separate, so the collar stays warm and comfortable whether the hood is up or down. It also means the hood can be pulled on ...

Sprayway Arista Pro

£170.00

The Gore-Tex fabric on the Arista is surprisingly stiff and very rustly. However, the jacket has an excellent hood with volume adjusters, a stiff peak to keep your face dry, and when tightened it swivels as your head turns so there’s no loss of vision. On the downside, the hood’s drawcord adjusters are fiddly, you can’t take the hood off ...

Marmot Minimalist

£140.00

The Minimalist is heavier than some so won’t suit real weight watchers, but it has a flattering, contoured fit and comes in vibrant colours. Sadly, the collar isn’t as snug as rivals’ and has only a small amount of fleece to protect your chin. The fairly breathable Gore-Tex fabric will keep you dry and two pit-zips provide adequate venting. The ...

Patagonia Rain Shadow

£100.00

The Rain Shadow has excellent features. The sizing is generous and the cut is long, and it has a deep, volume-adjustable hood which swivels easily with head movement and a nice high collar and soft chin guard. It performs well, and although the fabric isn’t as breathable as some, it will keep you dry, it’s lightweight, and it packs down ...

Rab Drillium

£175.00

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 ...

Lowe Alpine Velocity

£90.00

Despite its reasonably low weight, and very decent pack-down size, the Velocity is a longish jacket, with a rugged main zip and good storm flap. It has a great hood: deep with plenty of adjustment and a stiff wired peak; and the pockets, which double as vents, are well-placed and plenty big enough to take a map. The cuffs are ...

Mountain Equipment Graviton

£140.00

The Graviton is a short cut with drawcords at the hem and Velcro at the cuffs. The hood, which has a great wired peak, is deep and easily adjustable and rolls away tidily when not needed. The fabric’s quite soft, so doesn’t rustle, and the pockets are well-placed and large enough to take a map. It’s a light jacket and ...

Marmot Exum 2008

£270.00

Ignore the price for now and check out the Marmot Exum lightweight jacket’s features. The weight is superb, and that is down to the use Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric, which is lightweight but still offers extremely high levels of waterproofness and breathability. You also get a series of small holes in the pocket lining to reduce weight and improve venting ...

Berghaus Paclite 2008

£160.00

Berghaus’s Paclite jackets are modern classics that have a lot of great features. The Gore Paclite material was a very popular lightweight fabric as it allows a jacket to pack down really small and weigh not a lot. Arm movement is superb as the hem and cuffs don’t ride up when you need to scramble over a stile or up ...

Sprayway Anakin/Arista 2008

£160.00

The Sprayway Anakin/Arista is a stunning jacket due to the price (it is the lowest-priced Gore-Tex Pro Shell jacket available here). Gore-Tex Pro Shell controls condensation far better than Gore Paclite, which means at this price this jacket competes strongly against similarly priced Gore Paclite options. There are two large zipped pockets that swallow maps. The hood also has a ...

Patagonia Rain Shadow 2008

£100.00

The Patagonia Rain Shadow is a very good lightweight jacket, and the price is particularly appealing. The jacket uses Patagonia’s own waterproof and breathable fabric, which works well. There is a front zip and hem drawcord to keep out draughts and rain, while long side vents can be used to ventilate the jacket if you overheat. You get just two ...

Rab Drillium 2008

£160.00

The Rab Drillium is among the lightest mulit-activity jackets here. It is made from eVent, which is rated as among the most waterproof and most breathable of fabrics, and tends to hide condensation better than the Gore Paclite used in some other jackets. For biking the scooped tail is useful, while climbers will appreciate the excellent arm movement. For storing ...

These are an excellent and reasonably-priced pair of waterproof overtrousers that it will be hard to go wrong with.

Haglöfs Gemini Hood

£75.00

This fleece mid layer just about has it all. At just 304g, it has a hood, which makes it a rare beast – and for me this gives it an edge. The fabric is warm enough for year-round use while the two chest pockets allow easy storage and access to maps on the move while wearing a rucksack. The stretch ...
