Having owned the Arran 3 in 1 for a while my wife commandeered the shell for dog walking. I ordered another Arran Shell for myself. It's not interactive so doesn't have the second row of zips that couple the fleece to the shell but it's still a great all weather jacket for all terrain and such good value compared to the other brands. Well done Berghaus.

New jacket to replace my old one (only two bought olin thirty years that’s how good the quality is)  Love the new jacket and look forward to testing it out on our little Welsh mountains. 

The Arran jacket is incredible in so many ways. Its lightweight, very easy to move around in (zero arm restriction) and the workmanship is of the highest quality. The added bonus of the red colour will give me much more visibility on winter treks. I wouldn't be without this jacket.

An easy and safe buy, high quality on the jacket. I was surprised when I got it - it was even better tha I expected. What I miss in the information is a comparison between the Hydroshell and Gore-Tex. The latter being the more well known and I almost expect it to be in any modern waterproof garment. So a clear comparison between the two would most likely make me even more confident in buying something made of Hydroshell.

I walk my dog every morning regardless of the weather. After 2-3 months living with this jacket I know most of it's idiosyncrasies. On the plus side, it's great in a cold wind and the high collar protects the neck nicely. The hood is large but can be adjusted to fit tightly over a wooden hat. In a light shower, it's fine.   On the down side, it doesn't seem to breath at all. If it's cold and wet and windy, I have to keep the front zipped up which means sweat accumulates in the armpits and sleeves. The sleeves also seem vulnerable to the rain.  On the lighter top parts of the jacket the rain beads but the lower dark pieces seem to absorb the water. On a light rainy day it's OK for one to one and a half hours before it's damp inside. In a heavy rain and strong wind and hard walking, I was getting cold and damp in half an hour. I had to tumble dry it as soon as I got home. I wear a marino teeshirt and a thin fleece underneath and begin the walk feeling the cold. After 20 mins or so I've warmed up and I'm having to open the zip as I feel the dampness begin in the armpits. I'm sure Berghaus make jackets that you can wear all day in wind and rain but I'm not sure this is one.
