Salomon Quest Jacket

You may well have a pair of Salomon shoes or boots in your cupboard, but did you know they make great outdoor clothing too? Designed in Annecy with the lake and mountains as its test ground, the range includes jackets, trousers, midlayers and tees.

This jacket, the Salomon Quest Stretch is a versatile piece which will carry you through from early spring to autumn. It uses ClimaPRO™ waterproof stretch fabric which results in a comfortable jacket that will keep you dry whatever surprises the mountain decides to throw at you. And with a weight of just 430g, you can stick it in your pack, just in case. The hem, cuffs and hood are adjustable and there are two zipped pockets. Look for the Salomon Quest in good outdoor retailers nationwide. RRP £120.
