...SOFTER FEEL AT A GOOD PRICE? Sprayway Rador /Selen £150 ■ Me■’s S-XXL (Rador) ■ Wome■’s 8-18 (Selen) ■ Weight 520g (size L)

Loose blown InsoFill insulation makes this jacket very soft and comfy compared to others at this price. You get a hem drawcord, but the two main pockets don’t zip and the hood has no adjustment and does not move with the head. 80%

...MORE BREATHABILITY? Berghaus Teallach X £160 ■ Me■’s XS-XXL ■ Wome■’s 8-18 ■ Weight 375g (size L)

The Hydroloft insulation and face fabric offer 25% more airflow than most other jackets so you get less condensation. But it’s not the warmest, the pockets are low, and there is no hem drawcord, no cuff adjustment and no hood adjustment. 80%

...ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT? Vaude Sesvenna Jacket II £160 ■ Me■’s S-XXL ■ Wome■’s 34-44 ■ Weight 459g (size L)

The Primaloft Eco insulation used is 100% recycled, so it’s great for the environment. It’s not as warm as heavier jackets, while its fleece sides to the body and sleeves, as well as its slim fit, make it best for active use rather than sitting. 80%

...MOUNTAINEERING PERFORMANCE? Sa●ewa Sesvenna Polartec Alpha Jacket £195 ■ Me■’s XS-XXL ■ Wome■’s n/a ■ Weight 544g (size L)

This Polartec Alpha jacket has acloser fit, with a hood and sleeves that allow better movement with the body than most. Hard-wearing fabrics are used in rucksack contact areas, and there are two Napoleon pockets. 80%

...ABILITY TO WEAR OVER A WATERPROOF? Páramo Torres Alturo £275 ■ Me■’s S-XXL ■ Wome■’s XS-XL

■ Weight 773g (size men’s L)

This is designed to be worn over the top of your waterproofs, so it’s cut larger in the body and sleeves, while its Nikwaxtreated materials resist water. The pockets and hood are great. The drawbacks are the weight and its baggy cut if not worn as intended. 78%
