Description

With climbing and mountaineering in mind, the Lite-Speed also hosts a helmet compatible hood and two-way front zip to allow for harness use. We’re thinking fast and light alpine ascents where keeping the weight to an absolute minimum comes before full-weather protection. For three-season use the Lite-Speed is ideal. The weight is quite low, the features excellent. My only complaint is about the sizing. In earlier versions the Medium fits me. In the current one the Large is only just big enough. Any item not in its original condition is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error Faults deemed to have been caused by misuse or improper care (including washing not in accordance with the product wash care instructions) are not covered by the guarantee.

I’m 6ft 2 and about 92kg. I found that a size Large in the Lite-Speed Pull-On was a perfect fit for me. Whilst I can get into a medium, it was slightly too small for me so I sized up for a better fit. This review is part of our windshells gear guide, and was first published in the April 2018 issue of The Great Outdoors. As a runner I generally want my kit to do more than just one job, it needs to be light weight, highly functional but simple and fit for purpose… or even better, a few purposes!

It's trim in the lowerarms, which isgood in terms of reducing unwanted bagginess - and there's no cuff adjustment to get in the wayeither. But since the fabric doesn't stretch much, if you have a climber's forearms thenyou won'tbe able to roll the sleeves up - something I do like to do when needing to cool down without wanting to stop and adjust layers. Eager to put the Pull-On through its paces, I decided to head out for a day’s running in the Peak District. It was a fine day but significantly cold up on the tops. The wind chill was about -4 when up high and exposed, perfect conditions to see how the Lite-Speed performed under pressure.

Many of the items we sell will come with the full manufacturer's guarantee. SMU, Ex Display and production products are covered under these conditions. The Lite-Speed is close to perfect for mountain use when you want protection from wind and maybe light rain or snow, but don't want to put on a hardshell because, even with the best fabrics and best designs, they simply don't breathe in the same way that a non-proofed nylon windproof like the Lite-Speed does.There’s a little bit more stretch to this fabric than there is to Pertex Quantum, and this aspect, combined with well-articulated arms, makes the Lite-Speed much better-suited to climbing, mountaineering and running, in comparison to the previous generations. We do not offer to reimburse postage costs if an item doesn't fit / you don't like it / change of mind etc.
