Kit review: Maier Metor Waterproof Jacket
This jacket from German brand Maier Sports is now available in the UK from Vampire Outdoors
Kit review: TOG 24 Drax Mens Funnel Down Jacket
I had been looking for a warm, lightweight jacket for ages, even visiting every outdoor shop in Fort William to no avail in my size. TOG24 online seemed to do larger sizes (up to 6XL in this particular coat), so this looked like just the ticket. It was also fairly good value compared to other makes!
Kit review: D2D Coldstop II Softshell Winter Jacket
Love cycling in the winter but struggle with the cold? This warm jacket from D2D Cycling Clothing might be the one for you!
Kit review: Mountain Equipment Saltoro Jacket
When you are out walking in the seemingly never-endingly rainy UK winter weather and you want to stay dry, the Women’s Saltoro Jacket by Mountain Equipment is lightweight, waterproof, and breathable to keep the rain out in the worst of conditions. It packs down really small to carry in a backpack, fits inside its own hood.
Kit review: Sprayway Era Jacket
Finding a waterproof that will keep you dry for a day in the hills and mountains, but that is also packable and light enough to carry with you can be a challenge. As part of their expansion into size 20 items, Sprayway have a number of jackets available including this GORE-TEX Era jacket.
Kit review: Labo Mono Go-Go Jacket
A good plus size waterproof is VERY hard to find, and this jacket is described as having an inclusive fit.
