Rumours abound that we’re in for the coldest winter in 50 years but right now the UK is experiencing rather a lot of rain. No surprises there, we are an island and it’s autumn. Temperatures are still quite high though and this weather really tests the quality of your waterproof.
This season Gore-Tex® have upped their game and improved the breathability on the already excellent Pro Shell by 28% by using a microgrid backer inside which makes garments lighter too - all good when you’re slogging up hill. If you find you’re getting wet inside your jacket when the going gets tough why not call in to Countryside Ski & Climb and check out the new benchmark Mountain Hardwear have set too, with their Dry.Q Elite technology – it’s as exciting as the prospect of snow!
