Craghoppers Hsuki (2013)

£120.00

The Craghoppers Hsuki is made from a very soft and slightly stretchy fabric with a loose mesh lining, which makes it instantly more comfortable to wear than many waterproof jackets in our test. Like many jackets it is a little short and the two hip pockets are easily obscured when wearing a rucksack, so it could be much better. But ...

Berghaus Vinson (2013)

£120.00

The Vinson is made from Berghaus’ own-label AQ2 fabric, which is a 2-layer material. It doesn’t claim to be as breathable or as waterproof as Gore-Tex, but it is a much more competitive price. The Vinson is a notch longer than some others here, but it’s still pretty short. The main zip gets an external stormflap to keep the rain ...

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 ...

Rohan Atlas (2013)

£140.00

At last, I hear you cry, a jacket that’s long! Yes: the Rohan Atlas is longer than most waterproofs. It is in fact long enough to cover a suit jacket when in town, and long enough to protect your butt and groin when walking in the hills. The other advantage of all that extra length is that you can put ...

Adidas Terrex Swift Climaproof Storm (2013)

£120.00

Adidas isn’t the first brand I’d think of when it comes to outdoor gear, but this product proves they know a thing or two about heading to the hills. The jacket is made from a 2.5-layer fabric so it isn’t ideal for condensation control, but it gives a healthy tick in the box for low weight and packability. Comfortingly for ...

Keela Cumulus MR Pro (2013)

£140.00

The Keela Cumulus MR Pro is designed as a 4-season jacket and it was developed in partnership with mountain rescue teams. On paper it sounds great and there are some instant boxes ticked in terms of its design. Firstly it’s made from Keela’s waterproof and breathable fabric, which has a wicking liner that rapidly moves moisture away, and this works ...

Montane Atomic (2013)

£110.00

One of Montane’s stable of thoroughbred jackets, the Atomic is a well-proven performer. It is made from 2.5-layer Pertex Shield, so you tend to notice any condensation that forms on the inside a little more easily than jackets with a mesh lining or 3-layer jackets. But the benefits are low weight and small packed size, which make this ideal for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Regatta Teja X-ert Performance (2012)

£110.00

This is a very comfortable jacket made from soft and slightly stretchy 2-layer fabric. The long fit easily covers the hips and there’s plenty of room in the arms for easy movement. The fabric breathes fairly well and there’s a mesh lining to help wick away sweat. There are also mesh-lined pit-zips. It’s got a decent-sized, fully adjustable hood which ...

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 ...

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 ...

Kathmandu Nerius (2012)

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 ...

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 ...

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: ...

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 ...

Rab Mountain Dru (2012)

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 ...

A winner of Trail’s ‘Best in Test’ award, the Berghaus GTX Gaiter is a great all-rounder for the hillwalker.

It comes in two sizes and two leg lengths so it may fit ...

Trailwise Snolock Gaiter (2012)

If most of your walking is over heather or similar gear-trashing undergrowth, you need a gaiter that is extremely durable. The Trailwise Snolock Gaiter, a UK-made product, uses 12oz cotton duck canvas, a heavy woven fabric that is extremely durable. It is more than capable of withstanding abrasion from undergrowth, which is why it has become very popular with gamekeepers ...

It’s said the best place to save weight is on your feet, so it is worth looking for minimal weight in gaiters too – and at just 83g the Trekmates Mountain XT Series Pioneer Gore-Tex Gaiter won’t use much of your energy! Gore-Tex Paclite fabric is extremely waterproof but it tends to display its condensation on the inside quite readily. ...
