    Being an official video from a large retailer I was expecting a generic corporate script that told me nothing new. This dude clearly has experience and shared that as well as injecting some character 👍🏼 keep it up.

    Can you recommend a jacket for hikes/climbing in the £100-£170 range?
    Seen the like of Montane Spirit jacket, Rab Downpour plus 2.0 etc. probably would get into climbing at some stage, but need a jacket to do until I save for a proper one like the Patagonia Triolet etc.

    Would be helpful to demonstrate the features as you wear it rather than on the hangar.
    Need to see how bulky is the hood, ease of adjustment. Ease of zipping up/down the side pockets - some make them very awkward, need to have very flexible wrists.

    It’s a shame the North Face ‘Karakoram’ is no longer made. That was an amazing piece of kit, but seems to have fallen victim to North Face’s move towards the fashion & lifestyle market.

    Is the Makalu Jacket's hood removeable, or can it be rolled up when not being used? I know some hoods are really annoying when you are wearing a jacket.

    A question : If I was to buy a bright orange jacket. How do I clean it ?
    Nitwax wash may freshen waterproof jackets, but for removing ground in marks at the cuffs and sides of pockets, it does very little to remove marks .
    The reason I ask is my old cycling jacket has been on a double wash with nitwax and came out no clearer .
    I would love to buy a decent bright jacket that I can wear on and off the bike , ONLY if there was a way of cleaning it

    The Mountain Equipment Makalu jacket is a great tough jacket but what puts me off is the fit. Its to tight round the middle and if you size up the arms are so long you think it's made for a Gorilla .

    These are too expensive for me. I bought an £80 Regatta 'waterproof' jacket that leaks in less than 5 minutes. I'm scared to waste money on scam jackets, but over £200 is too much for me. How come, I had a cheap anorak in my childhood that was 100% waterproof but it seems like you can't get them any more?! Help!

      At least jackets and coats can possibly last you a lifetime and if you live in a rainy and cold area, then you'd be wearing it for half or most of the year. People pay twice as much for a phone that they change every 1-4 years. They use that everyday, sure. But it makes you think, it's not so bad paying around £500 for a coat or jacket that could possibly last you a lifetime. Yes, there are much cheaper alternatives that are decent. But the same could be said for phones. Decent alternatives that are half the price of flagships. These £500 jackets, you just have to think of them as flagship jackets
      For the freezing cold weather, I wear a columbia jacket that I've had for over 6 years and that keeps me nice and warm and the jacket is very thin as well. It's the foil like material, underneath the jacket that keeps me nice and warm. I only paid about £140 for that, down from £180. Now I just need a good waterproof jacket and I think goretex will be the way to go. I've seen a good paragonia one for less than £400. But my maximum budget for a goretex jacket is £300. Something that will keep me dry but also warm as well

    My go to when I travel to the UK in winter, or any other time I know that it is going to rain a lot but not be too cold, is an Arcteryx Alpha SV (color is Phenom). I have it in large and it is not quite roomy enough for a fleece and puffy. For colder wet conditions (freezing rain, winter near waterfalls etc) I have a Beta SV in XL (Black) that gives me more room to layer.
    Patagonia lost me with all their activism, and Rab is difficult to find west of the Atlantic. Mammut and Norrona make some great stuff though.
