KEELA TALUS JACKET £140

This hybrid jacket combines tried-andtested Primaloft Gold block insulation for core warmth with stretchy hardface fleece side panels for increased freedom of movement. It makes the Talus a versatile insulating piece that works well whether worn as a standalone layer or under a shell. In windy weather you’ll also appreciate the excellent hood’s stiff wired peak.

VERDICT A fully-featured synthetic insulated jacket that delivers excellent performance and real-world practicality. The latest version has an even tougher face fabric, making it even better value.
