Vaude Skomer Hiking SC Jacket Review

I took the Vaude Skomer Hiking SC Jacket on a hiking trip to Luxembourg last May. With a small group of friends, we decided to combine the Lee Trail and Mullerthal Trilogy in 7 days, hiking from two base camps (summing up to 200+km). Hiking from these basecamps allowed us to bring just the essentials on the trail, wearing only a daypack for each section. Since we walked long days, we got a bit of everything in terms of temperature.

Rab Phantom Mountain Waterproof Jacket Review

The Rab Phantom Mountain Waterproof Jacket is, hands down, one of the best of its kind. After using it, I’ve realized it is the ultimate packable layer for year-round weather changes. The Phantom Waterproof is a shell that you can pull out at any time when it starts to get windy or wet, and it will protect you for hours. I love this layer for treks that are going to be dry and desert-like.
