Mountain Equipment Morpheus 2008

I've had this Jacket for around 2 years now and its still just as brilliant as when I first had it. It was a second when I brought it as the zip was faulty but a new zip and and waterproofing and I was off to the Cairngorms for what was the wettest and wildest trip there I have had ever. It was purchased to replace my Rab Latok jacket which had a fight with 2 ice axes and ended up looking like a Hawaiian grass skirt. This jacket exceeds itself, i have the lime green colour and go everywhere in it from pubs, university, work to even using it as my search jacket. hood easily fits a helmet underneath for them steep and uncertain routes and is short enough to wear with a harness without it trapping and restricting movement. This jacket is as robust and cool as its name "Morpheus" suggests. It will definitely be the best investment you will make for your walking kit.

The hood is my favourite feature in this jacket. While under classic lake district stormy weather i felt as though i was in my own little world and invincible locked away inside the hood. Very light and packs down nicely. I managed to get mine for £163 using a voucher code for cotswold outdoors. I was so impressed that i bought my wife the seraph version of this jacket. Not the same colour as mine though, we would look like the poddington pea's else!:-)
