Cost £130
+ Slim fit, weight, pack size
- No hood, value
Designed for runners, this Gore Paclite jacket is unusual in featuring no hood – most runners prefer a hat to a hood. However, most adventure racing kit lists will demand a hood and one can be attached to a Velcro tab at the collar. The cut [...]]]></description>

The Enduro 20 features a unique harness that joins at the chest with a large velcro patch to distribute weight across the chest and take some load and abrasion off the shoulders. It feels stable like a packvest but more breathable and durable. The main compartment is accessed by [...]]]></description>

Not only did they finish, they finished first by a margin of 19 hours after 6 and 1/2 days racing. The same Helly Hansen Prunesco team of [...]]]></description>

Cost £190
Weight 175g
+ Ultra lightweight, simplicity, superb hood
- Long term durability, breathability, expensive
Made from the latest Gore-Tex Paclite fabric this is a weight fetishist’s dream jacket. Haglofs’ clever smock design means the jacket, excluding hood, is only produced from two pieces of fabric. This results in minimal seam taping, hence reduced weight and improved breathability [...]]]></description>

+ eVent fabric, stretch panels, helmet compatible, breathability, fit
- Stiff feeling fabric at first, expensive
For a company that makes so much excellent lightweight outdoor gear, it&#8217;s a little surprising perhaps that this is the first item I&#8217;ve had the chance to review for sleepmonsters.com or UK Adventure Sports Magazine. Hopefully it won&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

The Momentum is Rab’s lightest eVent jacket to date and is aimed squarely at alpine climbers and adventure racers. It’s made from lightweight three-ply eVent with a micro-grid rip-stop pattern for added strength and there is [...]]]></description>
