Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 1/10How much it adds to your pack. 1: A real weak point.
Berghaus lists 0.793 kg without a size; Countryfile weighed a men's M at 769 g. Either is in the 650 g+ band.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 7/10How well the fabric and seams keep out heavy, long rain, when new. 7: Better than most.
GORE-TEX with no mm figure published for this jacket, so the GORE-TEX rule gives 7 (an estimate: a 9 or 10 needs reviews) (Berghaus says every seam is sealed). We ignore the 28,000 mm Berghaus prints for the newer Cornice 2.0.
Warmth
Estimate from maker's specs: 2-layer build with a hanging liner 3/10How much warmth the jacket itself adds. Most shells add little: wear a warm layer under them. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Estimate from maker's specs
In short
Good for
- Traditional long-cut hillwalking jacket for wet UK days
- Walkers who want to zip a Berghaus InterActive fleece inside
- Dog walking and everyday use as well as hills
Strengths
- 2-layer GORE-TEX with a double storm flap over the front zip
- Roll-away hood with a peak and three adjustment points; high lined collar
- Zipped map pocket you can reach without opening the front zip
- InterActive zip takes a compatible Berghaus fleece
- Women's equivalent exists (Glissade III)
Weaknesses
- Heavy at 793 g for the maker's figure; Countryfile weighed 769 g in a men's M
- No pit zips: Countryfile says it can get a little too warm on strenuous days
- Packs bulky and the low pockets feel awkward when full (Countryfile)
- Only 2 independent sources found, so weather and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores
