BERGHAUS RIDGEMASTER 3L JACKET £300

Built specifically for hillwalking in the worst of the winter weather, the 2021 version of Berghaus’ weather-beating Ridgemaster jacket makes use of the new robust 3-layer Gore-Tex Performance Shell. In addition to this highly weatherproof fabric, the Ridgemaster features underarm ventilation, a fully adjustable hood with reinforced peak, hook-and-loop fastening cuffs, dual hem adjustment, and a storm-level construction.

VERDICT The Gore-Tex upgrade to Berghaus’ classic winter shell makes the Ridgemaster the perfect jacket for those who won’t let poor weather stop them heading to the hills.
