I had a Barrier Jacket and I looked into it's warmth properties, more the 'Thermolite'.

Apparently it is a good synthetic material but PL1 just pips it in warmth. I know that it felt warm, as much as PL1 and it packed down very well much like any other.

It seems that Haglofs are going back to PL1 - I think mainly due to the retial market requirements. Apparently, Polargaurd Delta is supposed to be the best...

It was just PL1 for the barrier pro stuff, I think to get a bit of a better warmth/weight - like they did back with the LIM barrier etc.

The 'normal' barriers are now using some sort of unknown recycled insulation.

Still look plenty warm mind and a lot cheaper than the barrier pro stuff -115 rrp vs 180(!) rrp for the barrier pro hood. Which is presumably why they didn't use PL1 everywhere!

Need to know

Light, compact, green in both senses, windproof and surprisingly warm, copes well with wet conditions and not so warm that you can't wear it while moving at times.
 
Expensive. Not as warm as a full weight PrimaLoft or similar jacket.
  • Price: £160.00
  • Year: from 2011
