+ Two good, map-sized zipped pockets. Warm and comfortable, with a rugged full-length zip. Rain resistant.

– Feels bulky. No additional ventilation or wicking systems to prevent overheating. Cuffs were loosely elasticated.

Verdict: A soft, warm and comfortable jacket, but it’s the bulkiest mid layer on test. Perhaps best kept for those cold evenings going down to the pub.
