Recently, we got our hands on the Mountain Warehouse Pakka Women’s Waterproof Jacket and had the chance to put it to the test. We were quite impressed with its waterproof features, including the 1,500mm tested waterproof rating and taped seams, which kept us dry during light rain showers.
One of our favourite aspects of this jacket is its packability. We found it incredibly easy to fold away and store in its own bag, making it an ideal option for those on the go. The adjustable hood and stretch cuffs provided a snug fit, ensuring that we stayed dry during our walks.
However, we must note that this jacket comes with a few drawbacks. The thin material might not be the best choice for colder weather, so layering is essential. Additionally, we found that the jacket lacks breathability, so it could feel a bit warm during more intense activities. Lastly, the material does crease easily, which could be an issue for some users who prefer wrinkle-free attire.
