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 8/10How much they add to your pack. 8: Clearly better than most.
Mountain Equipment lists 230 g without naming a size. The only size given is on Alpinetrek's spec table (a shop, not Mountain Equipment): 230 g for reference size M. That is in the 220-289 g band. A size M under 220 g would be a 5, but nothing suggests it.
Rain protection
Estimate from maker's specs: hydrostatic head figure 8/10How well the fabric and seams keep out heavy, long rain, when new. 8: Clearly better than most.
Estimate from maker's specs. The 20,000 mm figure is shop-only: Mountain Equipment's own page doesn't give it.
