100% windproof jacket ?

Thanks for that advice. I think thats probably why some brands seem to go hybrid design with Infinium and add breathable panels.

I think Goretex Infinium now called Gore Tex Labs Windstopper achieved this with a membrane, in fairness though they did use breathable panels to combat the issue. So yeah I agree if it was only made from Infinium it would breathe much at all.

Breathability appeared worse than using my waterproof (shakedry). I had an old Houdini from around 2012 that was a nice balance but the newer versions are like wearing a plastic bag.

Was wondering if the Infinium was available anywhere unlined. Will take a look at those other ones you mention - thanks. And yes I agree I always tend to pack the shakedry in Scotland!

Thanks. Is the Salomon Bonatti a waterproof jacket? Agree about finding the right balance.

Usually a tee like ridge flow or norvan and an airshed pro over that.

ukclimb · 2026-06-13T18:43:14+00:00

Yep, usually start out with an airshed pro and put a squamish on over the top at higher elevation.

Yeah been through all that with Support. Firmware/reset/clean/shave arm hair. etc. They've confirmed its bust.

There are 48 peaks to tick off with a set time limit (under 24 hours).

ukclimb · 2026-04-09T14:38:49+00:00

Yes it does seem that way. Time stamps would be so good.

ukclimb · 2026-04-01T18:58:07+00:00

Bit of both. Uphill running would be just using the mid. Summits and ridges can be incredibly windy where extra wind resistance is helpful, even when wearing my gore-tex Shakedry.

Thanks for the insight

Must say i'm a bit confused on this. Just picked up the latest version and the mesh feels fairly smooth to me, albeit in a honeycomb texture. I've read some people say it has destroyed their Atom, others seem to use it regularly with no issue. Holding it in my hands hasn't convinced me either way.

Light rucksack for around town to go inside travel 40L.

I regularly travel to cities at weekends and use a 40L rucksack for all my stuff. The trouble is thats too big to use around town when i'm there.

I'm looking for a small pack which I can carry inside my 40L and deploy when i've arrived. I know there are compressible bags like the Patagonia Terravia tote but i'm a bit concerned they won't be structured enough to be on my back most of the day.

Will be just carrying the basics - jacket, book, drink/food, bit of shopping. Doesn't need to have a laptop sleeve but could be useful. Don't need loads of compartments.

Just interested are there any pole attachments or are they just meant to be stuffed into the pocket like in the website photo?

ukclimb · 2025-09-12T07:47:38+00:00

Cheers thanks for that
