Gore Tex Titanium PacLite/Weight: 449g (Medium)/Zap system removeable hood with wire peak and inner mesh stow pocket/Fleece lined collar/Waterproof zipped Napoleon pocket/Double front storm flap/Mesh stuff sack/Sprayway 0800 605050, www.sprayway.com.

A proven multi tasker from Sprayway’s Mountain-Lite range reaching beyond the country walking set. Tradtionally fairly short in the body, not a bad thing in the saddle although debatable for cutting a dash on the street. Packed with features, deep front pockets double as venting and accommodate a map. Gore micro seam taping pairs down the overall if you’re zipping off the hood and going basic.

MBR rating: 8/10
