At 238g (size S) this is the lightest of all the softshells on test thanks to the thin Schoeller stretch-woven fabric and the lack of "bells and whistles" features; weight conscious mountaineers might be particularly keen on this. The fact it has few features is a blessing for actually being on the move, since it helps save weight, but what features it does have are simple and effective.

The ultimate rock climbing Soft Shell; light, tough and protective it's the definitive choice for everything from big walls to sea cliffs. For summer use it is still on the thick and heavy side though, and for comfort on the move it can't compete with the lighter and cooler models on test. The reality, at least from our experience, is that there's always a time when you don't want to wear a softshell, no matter how light, and so considering its negligible weight a carrying pocket is a great feature to have. We've had the Borealis on several climbing trips and so far it's held up brilliantly, even to the very rough Lewisian Gneiss on a 10 day trip to the Outer Hebrides. Designed for use on long multi-pitch routes where the weather can be variable, UPF 50+ protects from the sun, while features like the YKK front zip with chin guard and half hem drawcord offer adaptability and shelter from the wind as conditions vary.The Aenergy In Hybrid Jacket by Mammut is a perfect companion for ski touring and other sweaty outdoor activities in winter.

Head movement is unrestricted; the lightly reinforced brim offers just enough structure to resist flapping madly in the wind; and the collar comes up high to provide maximum protection for the neck and chin. The DWR treatment is good throughout (and has so far survived a couple of washes), making the Psiphon FL a decent bet in on-off drizzly conditions (remember those?

Fluorocarbon-free and bluesign® approved, Performance Repel is best applied to a clean, damp garment. From the point of view of warm weather use, the one criticism we'd have about that lining is that it extends across a lot of the front of the jacket: fewer pockets, as per the Mountain Equipment Squall, for instance, would have been marginally cooler. The inner of this fabric features a soft brushed lining which wicks away sweat, increases comfort next to skin and adds warmth for colder activities.
