Sprayway Nyx/Eos 2012 (2012)

£125.00

From the word go the Sprayway Nyx / Eos is a very comfortable jacket thanks to the use of a mesh lining inside the Gore-Tex Performance Shell, which has higher waterproofness and breathability ratings than many materials featured here. Put it on and it has a relatively soft feel, although it is very short and exposes more of your waist ...

Sprayway Zao (2012)

£160.00

Of all the jackets on test, the Sprayway Zao is the only one to have a Gore-Tex outer shell, making it waterproof – rather than simply water-resistant. An insulating jacket suitable for use even in heavy rain or snow will keep you warm, and it means the insulation is well-protected against the wet too. But the problem for walkers is ...

Sprayway W.N.W (2012)

£110.00

This jacket is new for 2011, although it’s actually an update of a classic model from the Sprayway line. It’s a straightforward, midweight fleece with an added Windstopper membrane. This wind protection boosts the warmth rating of the top without adding to the bulk, in a similar way to many soft shells. That extra layer of material also makes it ...

Sprayway Solstice (2012)

£35.00

This base-layer is made from eco-friendly Cocona fabric, made from the activated carbon of recycled coconut shells. It’s really soft to the touch, and the activated carbon wicks away sweat very quickly indeed. It makes the fabric very breathable too. The carbon doesn’t do a lot to prevent bad odours, though – so unless you’re one of those women that ...

Sprayway Spectre

£170.00

This jacket is ideally suited to hillwalking. Two-layer Gore-Tex provides the waterproofing and breathability without feeling overly technical and crunchy. When it’s warm there are a couple of large underarm vents to draw away the heat. The cut is quite short but there’s a drop tail to cover your bum. The two waist pockets are long enough to reach over ...

Sprayway Rio

£40.00

Classically designed trousers made from a polycotton fabric with a soft outer finish. The waist is semi-elasticated and comes with a belt so you can fine-tune things if needed. The fabric feels reassuringly tough, although there’s no stretch in it, so they’re less comfortable to walk in than some. They’ve got some nice features, though, including drawcords at the ankles ...

Sprayway Stella

£20.00

A tall, slim and lightweight pack that only costs an unbelievable £20. Features are kept to a minimum, although it boasts two pockets in the lid, a zipped pocket inside, and two side mesh pockets that will take a water bottle. The main compartment is long and narrow, with a single-buckle lid and drawcord closure. It’s a nicely styled pack ...

Sprayway Rhythm

£130.00

The Rhythm is a pleasant jacket to wear with a rugged outer fabric that avoids some of the plasticky feeling you often get on the inside of some lightweight jackets. The Cocona technology really does seem to work at increasing the breathability of the top, with moisture soon lifting away from the body and preventing any clamminess on the inside, ...

Sprayway Compass (male)/Escape (female) 2011

£30.00

The fabric used in the Sprayway Compass / Escape shorts is two-way stretch so they are great if you struggle with getting a good fit. There is also stretch in the waist so again these can expand around  a tubby tum or hug a neater waistline. There is no belt provided but you get belt loops in case you want ...

Sprayway Hydrolite

£60.00

These are rugged, cleanly designed bad-weather trousers. The Hydrolite fabric is waterproof, with good breathability levels and the huge side zips offer such cracking venting that you never need sweat in them. The zips extend about four-fifths of the way up the leg and make them a doddle to get into. Although exposed, they do have an internal storm flap ...

Sprayway Warm Challenger Pant 2011

£70.00

The Sprayway Warm Challenger Pant weigh 446g (size men’s L); four-way stretch fabric; two map-sized hip pockets; two zipped seat pockets; zipped thigh vents; two leg lengths; ideal general cold-weather walking trouser. But as these trousers are so warm, they are limited to cold winter days; no ankle cuff adjustment or internal gaiter for winter.

Sprayway NYX

£130.00

A fairly technical jacket that performs well without looking like high-end mountaineering kit. The shorter cut allows for a good range of movement in comfort. Technically the jacket performs well, with the Gore-Tex keeping the rain out. The pockets are mesh-lined, so in theory could double up as vents, but the hip pockets are too small for this purpose. They ...

Sprayway Solo

£70.00

A highly wind-resistant and water-repellent soft shell, the Solo is made from durable nylon with stretch and DWR finish and zipped/vented map pockets. The lighter weight fabric under the arms has a stretchy crepe paper feel, and allows for an incredible degree of stretch and a great range of movement. The principal fabric has robust wind-blocking properties and excellent breathability, ...

Sprayway Hydrolite 2010

£90.00

The Sprayway Hydrolite multi-activity jacket uses two-way stretch fabric; front zip has a double stormflap; map-sized chest pockets; mesh-lined chest pockets for ventilation and easy access; excellent removable hood movement and fit; feels very durable. But 542g (size L) is getting heavy for multi-activity use like running or biking; you get higher levels of fabric waterproofness and breathability at higher ...

Sprayway Anakin/Arista 2010

£170.00

The Sprayway Anakin/Arista is an excellent lightweight waterproof for hill-walking and general outdoor travel. One of the great features that sets it apart from others here is that it is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, rather than Gore-Tex Paclite, so it controls condensation much better. You get a good set of features too, with two large chest pockets that easily ...

The Sprayway Nyx/Eos general-purpose jacket weighs 576g (size L); 2-layer Gore-Tex Performance Shell with mesh lining for comfort; rolldown hood with wired peak and hood movement; main zip gets external stormflap; two large pockets. But short body length; pocket access easily obscured by rucksack belts; higher price brings better breathability.

Sprayway Arista 2010

£100.00

Cut quite loose to fit over bulky walking trousers, the Aristas also have articulated knees. The ankles are tapered, with a Velcro flap to adjust the way they fit over the boot. There’s a soft fleece lining on the waistband which feels great against the skin, and is especially welcome for cold fingers when you’re pulling them on in a ...

Sprayway Nyx/Eos 2010

£130.00

With my head down I battled into the wind and rain. Helvellyn’s summit was close, but the weather was doing its best to prevent me from taking another step forward. In these conditions, it is the hood of a jacket that really makes the difference. With a great hood you can continue more comfortably into the wind and rain, reach ...

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 ...

Sprayway Arista/ Anakin 2009

£170.00

The Sprayway Arista (the men’s version is the Anakin) is an excellent jacket for women who want to travel light yet it maintains some functionality to make hill-walking more pleasurable. Firstly it weighs in at a very respectable 342g (size 12), so it won’t weigh down a rucksack too much when not in use. It is made from Gore-Tex Pro ...

But 544g (men’s L) is getting heavy for multi-activity like running or biking; you get higher levels of fabric waterproofness and breathability at higher prices; no reflective material.

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 ...

Sprayway Women's Challenger

£60.00

The stretchy soft shell fabric feels lovely and soft against the skin and makes these incredibly comfortable. The waist comes with belt loops and Velcro-adjustable tabs. Disappointingly, though, the only colour option is black. They’re quite thick trousers, so not best-suited for warmer weather, casual wear or travelling. But as a year-round UK walking trouser, they’re almost unbeatable as they ...

£50.00

Sprayway Challengers are low-priced; relatively stretchy; 421g (size 12); very comfy brushed waist and ankle-side zip; 2 mesh side pockets and one secret inside pocket; button fly. But Velcro waist adjuster does not provide as much comfy variation as a belt; belt loops but no belt provided; zips too small for use with thick gloves.

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 ...
