Showers Pass Rogue Review 


"A street wise, bike friendly, and fiercely weather resistant technical hoodie, the Rogue is like your favorite sweatshirt, only better. The Rogue features a 3 layer waterproof softshell artex material ideal for temperatures 55 degrees and below.Fleece Lined waterproof-breathable fabric (not seam taped), cozy wrist gaiters with thumb loops, reflective trim, light loop inside back pocket, audio port in right hand pocket, adjustable drawcords and hem and hood, hood fits under or over most helmets"
Showers Pass Rogue

The Showers Pass Rogue certainly looks and sounds the business but is it actually as good as Showers Pass makes it out to be? I personally took this jacket to the test by wearing it to hike up to the summit of the highest point of the UK, Ben Nevis and in snowy conditions:


Was i impressed? YES

The Showers Pass Rogue was perfectly suited for everything Ben Nevis had to throw at me, compact and lightweight enough to easily store away in my backpack for the assent and more than capable of handling the prevailing wind, rain, hail, snow and sub zero temperatures on top of the highest point in the UK. I only needed to wear a base layer underneath the Showers Pass Rogue.
