Top Rated: Keela Saxon Waterproof Jacket (7.9 / 10)

Category: Lightweight (Under 300g) Waterproof Jacket

Keela's Saxon Waterproof Jacket

One of the impressive features of the Saxon Jacket is its ability to accommodate bulky layers (such as the insulated jackets featured here), yet remain reasonably fitted when worn with just a baselayer. An incredibly light jacket considering all its features, with an excellent 3-way adjustable hood, vecro adjusters at the cuffs and two shock cord cinch adjusters at the hem. The cut is excellent and despite its non-stretch fabric, it doesn't feel constrained when reaching over-head.

As with any truly lightweight item, the Saxon is not designed to be abused; however, if one treats it with a sensible degree of care, it's certainly tough enough for four season mountain use. A great little jacket and Scramble's top pick in the Waterproof Jacket category.

Let's hope Keela can keep a check on their runaway inflation. If they do, they might continue to keep the fierce competition at bay.
