RAB KANGRI GTX JACKET £280

An impressive 28,000mm HH, courtesy of the 3-layer construction and Gore-Tex membrane, effectively keeps you dry, while the 70-denier materials feel reassuringly hard-wearing. The adjustable hood has a wired and laminated peak and large two-way pit zips ensure good breathability. Wrist cuffs can be sealed via Velcro straps, and waist and hem drawcords enable a fine-tuned fit.

VERDICT A solid all-rounder with an impressive hydrostatic head rating and good features at a reasonable price.
