Waterproofs & boots
The kit that decides whether a wet day is an inconvenience or the end of the trip.
Britain does not do "showers and then it clears up". A hard shell with taped seams and pit zips beats a soft shell in sustained rain every time. On boots, ankle support matters more than aggressive tread on the wet rock and loose scree that most British hill paths are made of.
Berghaus Paclite Jacket
Gore-Tex hard shell that packs down small. Taped seams, which is the part that matters.
