This jacket has become my new go-to jacket for running...the fact that it is compact means I can easily fit it in my backpack when I'm up on the hills and feel prepared for a change of weather!! I love the berry colour not too bright but enough of a colour to feel stylish and on-trend!
In summary, a great technical jacket with lots of features to make getting outside more enjoyable and safe.
PROS:
- It's lightweight, comfortable, and no movement restrictions.
- I found the pockets to be a good size I was able to fit my gloves in them when I started to work up a sweat!
CONS:
- My only gripe is the zip to the pockets. The toggle on them is short and slippy and with cold hands, I found it difficult to unzip the front pockets. This was not so much of an issue with the back pocket as it has a longer toggle with more of a grip.

As a family we really like these socks, they are comfortable, supportive, cushioning and warm. The toe seams didn't rub or get in the way and your toes are free to move. Would we buy more? Well, in each pack you get two pairs of socks and at under £15 per pack that represents superb value for money.
PROS:
- These are thick, heavyweight socks that grip and support your feet.
CONS:
- None really other than your feet do get quite warm.

PROS:
- The Craghoppers Lena is a fantastic jacket to throw on and keep the wind and cold out. It looks good too.

We were so impressed when we reviewed the kid's Craghoppers Compresslite Jacket that we went and bought the Long Compresslite Jacket too.
★★★★★

Ideal to keep in your bag when taking the kids and not sure what the weather is doing but also a great lightweight jacket in its own right.
PROS:
- The long Compresslite Jacket is something you can keep in your bag and pull out to get the wind and the rain off - and not look like a plastic mac either.
CONS:
- You might feel the RRP is high for a packable coat. However, you can often pick up a good deal if you shop around making this actually a fantastic buy for the price.

I've been using the Berghaus Stormcloud for a while now, and it's proved to be a great bit of kit. A great packable, waterproof, and breathable jacket.
★★★★★

£74.97
I've tested this Berghaus Stormcloud for months, with lots of travel and use. It's kept me dry and kept the wind off and packs down small enough to keep in your bag. A great bit of kit to have with you when taking the kids out and you don't know what the weather is going to do (...also useful for water rides at theme parks!)
PROS:
- A breathable jacket that will keep the rain and wind off, but small enough to stow in your bag.
CONS:
- The Stormcloud is not an insulated jacket. If you want a packable coat with a bit of insulation then have a look at the Craghoppers Compresslite.
Thumbs Up
There are plenty of pac-a-mac type solutions out there. The Compresslite Jacket goes further, and insulates as well as keep waterproof. Kids sizes too.

The Craghoppers Compresslite jacket has been well tried and tested through rain, wind, and even hail. When the kids don't need a coat, it's a lot lighter carrying these in your bag for when the weather turns nasty.
PROS:
- The Craghoppers Compresslite is a great packable coat solution for both adults and kids.
CONS:
- Struggling to find any bad points. It's even at a really great price for what it is. We liked the kid's Compresslite so much, we bought an adult one too ;-)

Another great item from Kozi Kidz to keep your little ones warm on your outdoor adventures. We've certainly put this fleece to the test. Simply put it in the wash and it comes up as good as new.
PROS:
- An excellent warm layer that can be used as a coat or under a jacket.
- The hood is a great addition, and fab when sitting around the campfire in the evening.
CONS:
- Could be a bit thick to fit under some jackets.
- Recommend it is worn with a long sleeved top as it is not fleecy on the inside.
