Mountain Equipment Astron Hooded Jacket Review

Reviewer: Jonathan Butler, London   (7-4-2010)

Very windproof, and waterproof until the rain gets heavy, this is an excellent softshell. It is versatile: wear it in summer showers with a t-shirt, or in winter with a long-sleeved baselayer. The pockets are OS map-sized, and a hip-belt doesn't restrict access to them. It is very breathable too, and wicks excellently: I also use it to run in when the weather is bad.

Mountain Equipment Astron Hooded Jacket Review

Reviewer: Matthew Bell, Yeovil   (24-2-2010)

Just what I wanted from a soft shell - windproof pretty water resistant, warm and breathable. It doesn't take up much more room than a fleece. The black side panels are not windproof so if it's really windy you do notice a draft but they do make it very stretchy. Shame it doesn't have an inside pocket. Overall a great jacket just as good in town as it is in the mountains.

Mountain Equipment Astron Hooded Jacket Review

Reviewer: ste d, Oldham   (31-7-2009)

An excellent softshell for climbing purposes with a durable powershield exterior.
Cut is good with a trim contoured fit. I often take a small in many US manufacturers, but a medium in this ME is perfect. Powerstretch flanks offer enhanced breathability over slightly less protection from the elements.
Slight dropped tail gives abit more protection. Weight is good. Hood is good but not over large and may struggle over a helmet.
