Waterproofs Remember that picture on page 3? Here’s how to fix a day like that. THE MASTERCLASS SPRAYWAY REACTION LONG JACKET The first thing we want from our waterproof jacket in summer is to not have to use it, which means ideally it needs to be packable and compressible to fit snugly in the rucksack. But when the rain comes (and come it will, in any form from annoying drizzle to all-day monsoon), we want it to be lightweight, breathable, but also every inch as robust and reliable as it is in winter. Here’s how to do all that, illustrated by an excellent example from Sprayway. FLEXIBILITY Flex matters because your body moves in so many unusual ways on a walk – especially if hills are involved. Sprayway pride themselves on the ‘amazing arm lift’ of the Reaction jacket, so you won’t feel constrained when brushing branches away or reaching for that handhold on a rocky ascent. CUFFS AND CORDS Look for points of adjustment; how easy is to to get the perfect fit for you? Here we’ve got adjustable cuffs to lock draughts out of the sleeves, and drawcords to pull the hem close and keep the damp out. LONGER CUT The majority of waterproof jackets these days are cut at the waist, but there is so much to be said for a more traditional longer cut like this one: it covers the butt and the thighs and makes you feel at least 10% more snug on the go. A GOOD HOOD Look for a snug-fitting hood with a firm peak to keep the rain out of your eyes. Sprayway’s fully adjustable Hill Hood design delivers precisely that – and unlike with skimpier jackets, the hood can be fully rolled away into the collar when not needed. RELIABILITY Always check what the waterproofing system is. Here it’s fairly unimpeachable as it’s handled by two-layer Gore-Tex inside a PFC-free recycled fabric shell, with a mesh and taffeta interior lining for comfort and breathability. PROPER POCKETS How many pockets, where are they and what can you fit in them? All key questions on a jacket, given how much stuff walkers like to have access to. The Reaction jacket has a map-sized chest pocket, two large handwarmer pockets and an inner security cubby-hole too. How much & where from? £200, find it along with the rest of the Sprayway range at sprayway.com Turn over for more options to keep you dry this summer… SUMMER GEAR GUIDE 2022 25
