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 1/10How much it adds to your pack. 1: A real weak point.
Craghoppers' 1,160 g is in the 650 g and over band. The page doesn't say which size it is for; the model wears an M. The weight includes the insulation, which most shells don't have.
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.
Craghoppers rates the main fabric at 30,000 mm (band 5; the top band starts at 20,000 mm), and its page says the AquaDry fabric has fully taped seams. Craghoppers doesn't state the layer count; we count 3 for an insulated, lined jacket, which doesn't change this score.
Warmth
Estimate from maker's specs: insulated waterproof 7/10How much warmth the jacket itself adds. Most shells add little: wear a warm layer under them. 7: Better than most.
Estimate from maker's specs
In short
Good for
- Cold, wet days on low hills and valley walks where you want warmth built into the jacket
- Dog walking, winter sightseeing and cold camp use
- Walkers who want 30,000 mm waterproofing and insulation in one layer
Strengths
- 30,000 mm hydrostatic head and fully taped seams, both stated by Craghoppers
- ThermoAir+ insulation built in, which Craghoppers rates as medium performance for cool to cold conditions
- Borg-lined hood with a reinforced peak and drawcords at front and back
- Six pockets (Craghoppers), including a zipped inner pocket that fits an O/S map (Blacks and GO Outdoors listings)
Weaknesses
- 1,160 g, so about twice the weight of a typical shell
- Insulated: too warm for summer or hard climbs, and it doesn't pack small
- No pit zips listed
- Craghoppers doesn't state the layer count (3 is our reading for an insulated, lined jacket)
- No independent review found, so weather protection and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
- Craghoppers calls it the National Trust Padley II; Blacks and GO Outdoors list it as the Padley II (GO Outdoors' navy barcode matches Craghoppers')
