If you tend to suffer from the cold, Rab’s Photon Hoodie (€169) is a fantastic buy. Pair it up with an outer waterproof shell for really bad wet weather or wear it on its own when it’s dry but windy and cold and you’ll be cosy and extremely comfortable. The Photon Hoodie, which is water and wind resistant, is incredibly warm and light (even when wet) as it’s filled with synthetic down.
Every last detail has been though of with this jacket; it has a great hood, the collar is soft and snuggly so no chaffed chin and the pockets are fleece lined for extra cosiness. It’s also highly packable and comes with a tiny stuff sack making it a brilliant item for travellers.
