Cost Smock £110
Weight 280g
+ Four way stretch fabric, light, close fitting, simple, good value, thumb loops
- Non-helmet compatible hood. New fabric so untested for long term use
The latest incarnation of the Kamleika range features a new Gelanots fabric with four-way stretch, and a new tighter outer knit to help with water repellency which also gives [...]]]></description>

Cost £200
Weight 580g
+ Stretch panels, comfortable, pit zips for ventilation
- Weight, breathability
The Volt is designed for hiking and backpacking rather than fast moving adventure racing, so is heavy on features and this means weight. The fit is on the large side of large, meaning plenty of room for insulation layers but not ideal for fast [...]]]></description>

Cost £140 though I&#8217;ve seen it here for £56!
Weight 340g
+ Mesh stuff sack, short cut, rollaway hood
- Terrible hood, boxy chest
This was one of the first Gore Paclite jackets around and little has changed over the years. The large chest sizing, rollaway hood and hand warmer pockets suggest it’s more appropriate for easy going backpacking [...]]]></description>

Cost £180
+ Durability, breathability, waterproof, can be reproofed and repaired indefinitely
- Too warm for summer use, short arms
To those that haven’t tried it, the Paramo concept can be hard to explain in a short review, so I would urge you to read more about it elsewhere. Feeling soft like a shell suit, it can [...]]]></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>

Weight 410 grams

+ 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>

Weight 330g
Cost £160
+ Weight, fabric, great cut, long arms, hood
- Nothing really
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>

For the most critical buyers, they must protect from torrential rain, keep you comfortable when you’re working hard and standing still, be Challenger tank durable, weigh less than a sparrow’s fart and cost virtually nothing. Enough freedom [...]]]></description>
