Deluge vented waterproof jacket,

For a back-up waterproof during summer walks, this jacket offers a great balance of features. The waterproofing and breathability of Berghaus’s own Hydroshell fabric are both solid, if a little lower than some on test. But in compensation it has an excellent hood, with a good peak and a close fit. Long underarm vents let in cool air when you overheat. Cuffs are adjustable, and the slightly dropped rear hem will suit cyclists. It’s not the most stylish jacket in this test, but the price is very competitive for such a lot of useful features.

Great value for a back-up warm-weather waterproof that can cope with sharp showers.
