Altura Vapour waterproof jacket review

Spring might be a few months off but there’s already a blossoming romance in the CW office. We have quite simply fallen in love with this jacket.

It might not feel like you get much for £120, but don’t let that fool you; this jacket can be used all year round.

Match it with the right layers underneath and it will suit temperatures from a couple of degrees above freezing, to around 15°C.

With a slight stretch in the material, it is actually one of the best-fitting pieces of clothing we’ve worn, and that’s not coming from someone with an ultra-skinny cyclist body shape.

Its claim to be fully waterproof seemed to stand up to testing too, although, as with most waterproofs, it won’t shift all the sweat from the inside out.
