Our panel put the latest range of waterproofs to the test

Waterproof guarantee: The WL Gore guarantee has no time limit
SRP: Jacket £299, trousers £229

Comments

PC: Galvin suits are what I judge everything else by. Certainly what I’d buy.

JW: It’s a lovely jacket, really well fitted and I liked the way you can pull the tabs in to stop it bunching. But £300 for a jacket..?

DM: We could just as easily have given this our Gold medal but slightly prefer the half-zip jacket option and August trousers.
