Lightweight waterproof jacket with fully adjustable, peaked hood.
Berghaus says:
Exceptionally light, totally waterproof and neatly packs away ready for action. The ideal fast activity jacket has arrived.
A strenuous day pushing your limits is sure to be easier now you’ve been introduced to our Fast Hike Jacket. With you all the way, it’ll keep you completely dry in a summer mountain downpour with 2.5L Hydroshell® Elite fabric which is waterproof, yet incredibly breathable. The brand new, single point adjustment hood launched by our MtnHaus™ Innovation Team is hard to beat when every gram counts. It draws snuggly round your face with a single automatic tag at the back, keeping you protected but saving on all important weight. When the heat is on, vented mesh pockets let the air flow, and the whole jacket even packs down into one of its own pockets. So, next time a fast paced trip is on the horizon, you can look no further.
Our Verdict
Berghaus' Fast Hike Shell Jacket is a lightweight waterproof jacket with lot's of key features that you would usually find on more expensive jackets. The fully adjustable hood works well and cinches down close if you're caught out in gusty, wet weather. We really like the stiffened fabric over the pockets and behind the main zip that protect the zips from letting water in and make them easier to use.
