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 3/10How much they add to your pack. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Craghoppers lists 450 g. Craghoppers doesn't name the size for 450 g (the model wears M). Band: 370-469 g = 2.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 10/10How well the fabric and seams keep out heavy, long rain, when new. 10: The best you can buy for this.
Craghoppers gives 30,000 mm for the fabric and says the seams are fully taped: 20,000 mm and over with no seam cap = 5. Craghoppers doesn't state the number of layers; we count 2 from the loose mesh lining, which doesn't change this score.
In short
Good for
- Wet-weather hill walking and wild camps where you want 30,000 mm and fully taped seams
- Walkers who put weight second to rain protection
- Cold, wet days: lighter than the Thermo version, with a mesh lining
Strengths
- 30,000 mm hydrostatic head and fully taped seams (Craghoppers)
- 30,000 g/m2/24h breathability figure (Craghoppers, no test method given)
- 3 pockets and an adjustable hem with heel tape (Craghoppers)
- Stretch fabric and mesh lining for easy layering (Craghoppers)
Weaknesses
- Heavy for waterproof trousers at 450 g
- No leg zips (Craghoppers lists none), so boots must fit through the leg
- Mid-weight rather than light: 450 g is still heavy for emergency overtrousers
- No independent test found, so fit and durability aren't scored yet
