Rosehip Mar 2024 12:47pm, 2 Mar 2024 31,354 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip For light and packable I have the the Alpkit Gravitas, mine only has a small chest pocket, but seems to have stood up to wearing with a pack quite well- so far The Harrier jacket is a bit more substantial, but better pockets and has a pleated back that expands to fit over a pack, but takes up a lot of room I also have an old OMM halo, that my Youngest grew out of, which screws up into a tiny ball, it's great for just in case days especially in the summer Is it possible to have one jacket for all occasions?
Curly45 Mar 2024 1:10pm, 2 Mar 2024 4,644 posts	Quote Pin Curly45 phal it's this one rab.equipment I've got the smallest size and it proper fits. Good enough to put a couple of tops underneath if needed (lightweight fleece if walking high in the summer or two running tops if needed in the winter), but small enough to not feel bulky. I've resprayed it once. But yes it's crazy expensive new. I've had it over a year and it feels brand new. I did email them about the pockets, particularly as I am a leftie so can't do it up 😂 I usually carry a bag anyway in the fells for first aid kit, extra layer etc, so not a deal breaker for me.

If you search for key brands and sizes, you'll be surprised at what comes up. Infact I would say most of my running kit has come off Vinted 😂😂

SimonF Mar 2024 5:29pm, 2 Mar 2024 427 posts	Quote Pin SimonF It snowed overnight last night, @Curly45, and there was snow down to the valley levels (this pic was at 9am this morning near Pooley Bridge) The drizzle this afternoon seems to be washing it away. Hope there will be more for you by the 11th.

flanker Mar 2024 8:18pm, 2 Mar 2024 21,171 posts	Quote Pin flanker It was so white over the top of Saddleworth today that I got the phone out mid-race to take pic, which is something I almost never do. I got a Montane Minimus for last year's long events, and was very impressed with the performance and pack size. It's athestretch fabric model which I really like. We both used to run in Alpkit Veritas but they delaminate very easily under a pack or even a bum bag. We got so fed up with returning and swapping them that in the end we just ignored it and it didn't make too much difference. I still use mine, with a number of holes in it, for training runs. or less severe races.
