Craghoppers Women’s Compresslite VIII Hooded Padded Lightweight Coat Why I Love It: I’ve been a fan of Craghoppers for years — my old Compresslite jacket even came with me on my very first Camino back in 2016! It’s finally time for an upgrade, and this new version has everything I love about the original (plus a few smart tweaks). It’s lightweight, cosy, and packs neatly into its own pocket — ideal for popping in your rucksack on those unpredictable UK walks. Bonus points: it’s not down-filled, so you can wear it even in damp weather, and it’s partly made from recycled plastic bottles. Key Features: ? Wind-resistant fabric to keep the chill at bay ? Durable water-repellent finish for light rain protection ? Eco-friendly design, using recycled polyester from plastic bottles ? Lightweight and compressible — packs neatly into its own pocket or stuff-sack ? Advanced insulating layer offering warmth without bulk ? Perfect for UK adventures — from local walks to winter hikes A brilliant all-round jacket that’s warm, practical, and just as happy on the trail as it is in town.
