Beat the darkness

Price £69.99 Web www.mountainwarehouse.com As winter draws in, the dark evenings can discourage even those with the best intentions of getting out and about when on tour. Give them a Mountain Warehouse reflective jacket and they’ll have no excuse!

We tested the Dashing reflective jacket, which has 360-degree reflectivity that glows silver when hit by light, helping to ensure the wearer can be seen by cars if they’re walking along a country road. With water resistance, a comfortable hood, zipped pockets and plenty of vents, it is ideal for wearing in light rain, and it’s lightweight, too.
