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.

£899.99
This is the first buggy we’ve had because we’ve never found one that could cope with our adventures before. It’s a great tool to allow us to run together regularly and have amazing family adventures on foot or with the bikes. Highly recommended for active couples with young kids.
PROS:
- Incredibly well made and brilliantly designed. Perfect for active families who like to get off-road.
CONS:
- Expensive - from £850 for a single or £950 for the double. Fairly heavy and wide so stiles and narrow gates can be a problem.
