About our reviews
We’ve chosen 12 mid-layers which should be available in shops and/or online at the time of going to press. Most are available for both genders, as denoted by these dots . We rate each product on comfort, versatility, features and value for money. We don’t pick an overall winner, as no single option will suit every walker, but Nick and Sarah have each picked a personal favourite which they’ll be wearing long after this test has concluded.
