Craghoppers Men's Venta Lite II Jacket, Dark

Light, well made and a boon in chilly conditions where its down filling really does make a difference. What I cannot fathom though is the wide price differences that go up and down with amazing regularity. Pick the right day and you get an absolute bargain (mine was £29) and today it has dropped from £89 to £55. So keep monitoring prices and when you are happy press buy and get a really excellent jacket which folds up in its pocket and provides that essential and very welcoming bit of warmth when conditions change. 'Built for Suburbia and not Siberia '

This jacket is excellent. I like the colour and design. There are lots of addition features which the more expensive jackets (like Rab) do not have, making this a very practice and useable everyday jacket. It packs down small and is relatively lightweight. It makes for a good layer to add warmth without the extra weight. The arbitrator of fashion in my household, says it looks good too. Seems well made with only a small amount of feather leakage.

Initial impressions are good. It is slightly 'snug' around the shoulders ( from armpit to the top of the shoulder) and so would not suit a 'body builder'!A few feathers have escaped in these early days but not to the point of becoming a concern. It seems warm and effective at shedding drizzle. Pack size is good and I expect it to get a lot of outdoor use.

This jacket is a premium quality item at an affordable price. It is ridiculously warm, even with the sub zero (-10C) temperatures that we have been experiencing this winter and the fact that it is windproof makes it even cosier. I have been out walking in the fells in the dead of winter with nothing but a t-shirt under this jacket as it is so warm.It is very lightweight and packs down well; all in all a fantastic jacket and highly recommended

Superb, light, great colour, good pockets. So light, easily goes into small space. Very pleased indeed.

Incredibly lightweight, almost completely windproof, lovely and warm and packs away into its own pocket. Not particularly water proof (it'd be a push to even say shower proof), but dries quickly. I doubt I'll wear any other jacket this winter!

Excellent. Very light, has a pocket that it packs into, very warm. Best warn over a medium weight fleece top. Great product.

Lovely quality jacket.
