Mammut Albaron /Adamello 2011

£360.00

At 448g (men’s L) the Mammut Albaron /Adamello is the lightest jacket in our test, and while it is certainly trimmed down to make that weight it still has some great features. It is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, as are many other jackets, but this feels like a thinner and therefore lighter version. To maintain durability you get reinforcement ...

Arc’teryx Beta AR 2011

£340.00

The Arc’teryx Beta AR weighs in at an impressive 494g (men’s L) so it is one of the lightest jackets in our test. That weight advantage comes from the relatively short and stripped-down design, as you just get two external pockets, pits zips and a main zip. The fabric is quite a thin version of Gore-Tex Pro Shell, so there ...

Mountain Hardwear Caraballo 2009

£320.00

The Mountain Hardwear Caraballo is definitely one of the best here if you prefer a slightly shorter design. The jacket is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric, so it benefits from top-of-the-league performance. At 538g the weight is very good and the features are equally attractive. Firstly the main zip gets a double stormflap on the outside to keep the ...
