Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 3/10How much they add to your pack. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Berghaus lists 0.450 kg and names no size (stored as 450 g). That is in the 370-469 g band.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 10/10How well the fabric and seams keep out heavy, long rain, when new. 10: The best you can buy for this.
Berghaus names 2-layer GORE-TEX ePE, and the GORE-TEX panel on its product page says every seam is sealed (page read 2026-10-21). A named GORE-TEX membrane with a full seam statement scores 5. The 28,000 mm figure on the page is not used.
