About this deal

When you want some protection from the elements, but a full shell would be overkill, a thin windproof is the obvious choice. This is a nice idea, but good luck fitting a larger phone into it - an iPhone 6 is just about do-able if you take off any protective cover.

For summer use it is still on the thick and heavy side though, and for comfort on the move it can't compete with the lighter and cooler models on test. Lightweight, stretchy, cut for movement and breathable enough for high output summer activities, the Psiphon FL Hoody well matches the brief for this review.Using a tough, stretchy, weather resistant outer fabric with a warm brushed lining, the Dyno XT provides reliable warmth and protection during winter activities. Starting at the top, you've got a fully adjustable hood which can be rolled away when not in use and will fit over a climbing helmet to increase warmth and protection. Though it's quite climbing-specialised, there's nothing stopping you using this for hillwalking too. The brief: Light softshell jackets with an active cut for climbing and hillwalking in less extreme conditions. Stretchy, warm and super tough thanks to a densely woven nylon face, the Dyno XT Jacket from Montane provides breathable wind and water resistance in cooler conditions.

The elastic fit adjustment runs only around the rear of the hem, which makes for a cleaner front section; its spare tail runs up inside the jacket to avoid snagging. Removable foam inserts in the hem are designed to help it stay put under a harness, but these seem only partially successful.

It fits well under a harness or rucksack belt, and is stretchy - so it's great to climb or scramble in. These are all a decent size for things like a hat, thin gloves or a phone, though none are large enough for an OS map.
