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 5/10How much it adds to your pack. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
Mountain Equipment lists 460 g without naming the size (some shops' copy says size L), which sits in the 370-469 g band. A smaller size would be lighter.
Rain protection
Estimate from maker's specs: waterproof fabric the maker names (no waterproof figure published) 7/10How well the fabric and seams keep out heavy, long rain, when new. 7: Better than most.
Estimate from maker's specs
Warmth
Estimate from maker's specs: heavy 3-layer shell 3/10How much warmth the jacket itself adds. Most shells add little: wear a warm layer under them. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Estimate from maker's specs
In short
Good for
- Hillwalking and trekking in a GORE-TEX shell with pit zips
- Wearing over several layers: alpine cut, helmet-compatible hood and a 75D face
- Walkers who want pockets reachable under a pack
Strengths
- 3-layer GORE-TEX ePE with a 75D recycled polyester face
- Helmet-compatible hood with a wired visor, and zipped underarm vents
- Two-way front zip with an internal storm flap, and dual-tether hem drawcords
- Two large zipped pockets that stay reachable under a pack
Weaknesses
- Mountain Equipment doesn't say how the seams are finished, so rain protection is an estimate, not a reviewed score
- No independent test of this version found, so weather protection and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
- Shop copy disagrees on the build: Tiso's text says 2-layer, Mountain Equipment says 3-layer (we use the brand)
- The weight isn't given for a stated size
