My best bit of kit…. My Rab Summit is the item I always put as my favourite on the outdoor forums that I am on, so I couldn’t say any better than that!
I’ve had this jacket 3 years now, and although I have used it for winter wild-camping and Bothying (and it is excellent for both) I mainly use it general walking (It looks equally good on the High Street) and going to the pub in cold weather (also a great warm cushion when sitting on the cold slate “seats” in the Clachaig Inn, Glencoe ?)
I like the two tone design and colours (I have the red & black) the slightly snug fit (you don’t look like a Michelin man!) the 2 hand pockets surrounded by down, the 2 large lower inside pockets (ideal for maps), the water resistant shell and the really good detachable wrap around your chin hood with wired peak. My only very slight gripe is the upper inner pocket is on the small size.
All in all a great jacket that will keep you warm in the hardest of British winters.
