It's a very low-risk strategy: so light you don't notice, and immensely satisfying when it's needed. Such a day was a few weeks ago, as we started to descend from the summit of Sale Fell.

One thing I particularly like about this jacket is the position of the pockets; they’re higher than usual so you can put your phone, car keys or whatever in them without the objects hitting the top of your legs when you’re hiking. That’s something that’s always annoyed me in the past!
