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.
