Our lightweight waterproof picks
On and off
For unpredictable spring days on the hill, you need a waterproof shell that helps you adapt.

Amelia, from our Keswick store, takes us through her picks of lightweight, breathable and packable jackets.
Rab Firewall Light
It weighs almost nothing, just 285g. For me, my favourite feature is the mesh backer on the pockets. It adds an extra layer of breathability and it feels really nice against the skin if you're just throwing it over the top of a light base layer. It's got a helmet-compatible hood as well, fully adjustable and really nice and light to throw in the bottom of your bag.

Arc'teryx Beta SL
The SL stands for Super Light, so it's designed more for summer weather and lightweight, fast-paced trekking. It's a little bit more breathable, and you've got the reliability of the GORE-TEX brand.

Protect and repair
GORE-TEX and other technologies in waterproof jackets need regular care to keep performing when it matters. Luckily, waterproof fabric care and repair couldn't be easier. Head to our guides to find out how.
Mammut Alto Light HS
I like the purple colour just because it's a little bit different. It's a little bit heavier at 310g comes with pit zips for that added layer of breathability. So it sits really nicely at the bottom of your bag, but when you do have it on, it's really nice and bright. It's got a fully waterproof zip and a fully adjustable hood as well.

Dump heat fast with the long pit zips.
