I'd wear it on all of my hilly/mountain hikes in the UK, and take it on my travels next year to New Zealand! 🤞

From short local walks to long distance trails, sounds like the perfect jacket for when the weather takes a turn for the worst, and if it’s anything like my 23year old ME waterproof trousers it’ll keep me dry for years to come.

[terranan]

Just purchased one of these. Can't wait to take it to Scotland and Wales to try it out!

[pascale_]

I'd love to wear this out on hikes in the Yorkshire Dales and on rainy day adventures in the Peaks!! Would be perfect as my rain jacket is very much worn out now!

[beans]

Perfect for some walks/runs in the peaks and lakes this winter 👍

[dominicpilkington]

I’d take it up to Scotland if I get a chance to go up this winter for some winter climbing!

[jamejoc]

I’d be wearing it on my first Scottish winter season this year!

[janine]

Love the mountain equipment brand. I’d wear it on all my hikes in the peaks, lakes, wales and Scotland ⛰️

[kirksinspace]

I'd enjoy wearing it on my family walks around the High Peak. Looks perfect for a spot of rain!

[kraftywytch]

It would get used on my weekend walks find new local hike trails and beauty spots to be used on every adventure we take the scouts on. A good waterproof is a must for camp especially when its time to either pitch up or strike down as the weather is normally relentless.

[jameswood]

The perfect jacket for strolling around the Edale skyline this time of year. 😊

[jimmcewen]

Just be outside!! From walks to watching the local rugby club! Fresh air is our best medicine!

[charliemackie]

Perfect for day to day use in town when it's wetter then an otters pocket, through to outdoor use in the Peak and some mountainous wanders, when conditions are too full on. Though it looks like it would probably deal with more than you'd expect!

[richardsaunders]

It’d go absolutely everywhere with me, from local footpaths with my daughter and the old foul weather trail run to Ethel and Wainwright bagging with mates. A nice strong jacket like that will last for many adventures.

[emilythorp]

Living on the west of Scotland this jacket would be a saviour. It’d come on any trip from wild coastal walks to hiking through the glens and forests. My last raincoats racked up some serious mileage but has definitely seen better days!

[MsEK_UK]

I used to love taking long walks in nearby parks in Kent - they were my means of self care and mindfulness. But for the past 4 years I've suffered with back pain and am lucky if I can manage a walk around the block. I finally at the point of being able to go for those longer walks and treks again and some wind and rain aren't going to stop me, so I'd wear this lovely jacket for just that :)

[grahammathieson]

I would use it well walking in the ochil hills here in Clackmannanshire Scotland

[gavinwatson]

Love the brand. I think the first place I would wear it would be to go to outside on a rainy day to put some gear that the jacket is replacing into the Re-Action bin. And maybe pick up a new Fitzroy Jkt or kryos

[Paul-ryrv]

I'd like to get up Pen Y Fan again with the weather being a little more interesting. This seems perfect.

[JacsB-Ldx]

Love that it’s a more eco-friendly jacket 🙌 I once bought a ME jacket for £10 in one of the Outside tent sales many many years ago. It went everywhere with me, to crags, in the mountains, and on muddy bike rides, before it got relegated to the garden. One day, I finally admitted it was time to say goodbye 😢 Maybe the Makalu can replace that old blue jacket for all the new adventures still to come 😍
