Best Jacket

The Sprayway CWT Active TL is a well-thought-out jacket designed for proper UK hillwalking and the kind of weather that can’t make its mind up.

The genius is its modular approach: a windproof TecShell outer and a breathable PrimaLoft Active Evolve inner that can be worn separately or together depending on output, terrain and temperature.

That adaptability is backed up by proper technical thinking. The TecShell outer is windproof, highly water resistant and packs away neatly, while the Active Evolve inner uses lofted fibres to regulate warmth and dump excess heat during high-output climbs.

Together they form a lightweight layering system that feels far more than the sum of its parts. It’s this versatility that makes it our winner: one jacket system that can switch from storm-lashed ridgelines to breezy valley miles without faff, fuss or overheating drama. Perfect for committed walkers who need reliability on the move.
