...and general use in cold weather. It ticks all the right boxes for comfort, lightness, warmth, being wind/waterproof and for overall design. The velcro adjuster at the back is simple to operate and for really bad conditions the ear flaps have loops to add your own chin cord. In short, a classic piece of kit (beloved by the Marines, I am told) and great to find that Lowe Alpine still produce it and the basic design remains unchanged (a rare thing in the clothing market). I lost my old one last week in Plymouth so was relieved to find a replacement in the Bristol Cotswold Outdoor shop today (if they'd had two in my size I would probably have bought a spare). Thanks to helpful staff in Bristol and Plymouth.
