As a technical midlayer the Caliber excels, Polartec Micro marled fleece manages moisture superbly, wicking sweat from the inside to the outside keeping you drier and more comfortable during activity. The fixed hood provides additional insulation when required and also acts as a toasty neck warmer when not in use. The smooth outer makes layering easier as shell garments glide over the Caliber giving you unrestricted movement, and the polyester fabric dries incredibly quickly and is very breathable. However if you are just looking for a quality, comfortable, lightweight fleece jacket that looks great, then you won’t get much better than the Caliber.

The Arcteryx Covert Hoody has been around forever, but this year it has been redesigned with a much improved fit. The body has lost that square boxy shape and has been tailored to offer a slimmer yet still relaxed fit. The body is now also a bit longer for improved insulation and the arms have been lengthened and shaped to make them more practical and comfortable. Arcteryx have used a new fabric, which retains that marled wool look so familiar to Covert fans. The fabric is called Alpenex Heathered and is 100% polyester with a smooth surface, just like wool, with a brushed fleece inner. The fabric provides superb insulation, wicks moisture and dries quickly so it is perfectly suitable for use as a technical mid layer, but I suspect that most of the time the Covert Hoody will be used for slobbing around town as it just so comfortable. The Covert Hoody features flat lock seams for strength and low bulk, no lift gussetted underarms for freedom of movement, a low profile Scuba Hood, two zipped hand pockets and a laminated arm pocket. Breathable Quick-drying Flatlocked seams lie flat for added comfort No-lift gusseted underarms ScubaHood Full front zip Stretch-knit cuffs Laminated sleeve pocket with laminated zip Two hand pockets with laminated zippers

The Lunar jacket is ideal for climbing, mountaineering, trekking, walking and biking; in fact it’s good for just about any outdoor activity you can think of. The light softshell fabric has enough weather resistance to keep out all the but the strongest of wind and rain and when it does get hot and sunny it will breathe superbly and keep off those nasty UV rays. Due to its fantastic breathability the Lunar jacket makes a superb mid layer in hot and cold conditions for all active mountain pursuits. Nice long sleeves feature Lycra bound cuffs with thumb loops for reach when climbing and extra cosiness and there are two zipped hand warmer pockets for all your bits and pieces.

Polygiene is completely safe next to the skin and is environmentally friendly, making the Lunar perfect for multi day trips. We rather disparagingly nicknamed this a base layer cover, but believe me its much more than that, once youve used one of these you will wonder how you ever lived without it; and as well as all that great fabric technology and performance, it looks great and is super comfy!

Rab Carrington (as in the Rab in Rab!) originally devised the Vapour-Rise concept by combining the technology of high wicking micro fleece and Pertex Equilibrium fabrics to produce a single garment with a 2 layer construction that offers superb weather protection and immense breathability. This jacket is the original softshell Jacket that just gets on with the job in hand and performs brilliantly. The VR Jacket is incredibly versatile and offers year round protection for outdoor activities by balancing warmth, windproofing and breathability; what more could you need? The 2 layer Vapour-Rise technology uses your body heat acts as a pump working with the micro fleece brushed lining to push moisture away from your skin and move it to the face fabric. Pertex Equilibrium face fabric has larger filaments on the inside and smaller filaments on the outside. The laws of capillary action dictate that moisture will move from large filaments to smaller ones, pulling your sweat away from the lining and spreading it out over the large outer surface area. This evaporative heat loss and moisture wicking create a temperature equilibrium to keep you comfortable and dry in all conditions. Finally a robust DWR treatment on the outside repels water. The Vapour Rise jacket features a fully helmet compatible, wired peak hood, A line pockets, pit zips and a zipped napoleon pocket. Because the Vapour Rise Jacket breathes so well it works as mid layer under your hardshell if the weather turns really nasty. We recommend using the Rab Aeon Tee under Vapour Rise garments as its silky smooth fabric glides smoothly against the VRs wicking liner and maximises the wicking properties. If you want one jacket to do just about everything, look no further.
