Berghaus Ignite Hoody (2012)

£130.00

On the surface, the Berghaus Ignite Hoody is very similar to the Montane Flux; however it is slightly heavier (20g more) but feels a little warmer. Like others on test it’s wind- and water-resistant, filled with PrimaLoft insulation and also boasts an adjustable hem cord to get a snug fit around your waist. A draught excluder is fitted behind the ...

Berghaus Scorch Vest 2011

£75.00

The women’s Berghaus Scorch Vest is made mainly from Polartec Thermal Pro material, which is fleecy and soft to the touch. This fabric claims to trap body heat using lofted (fluffed-up) fibres, and if it’s ultimate cosiness you’re after, then it certainly feels snug to wear. The great advantage of fleece gilets such as the Scorch is that they’re highly ...

Berghaus Faroe

£100.00

Here’s a very good illustration of what a soft shell should be. Not too bulky, yet with excellent windproofing to help boost warmth that’s further amplified by the slightly velour lining. Tested over some steep contours in an overly wintry Lake District with snow on the ground, it was perfectly at home. As the weather turned wet, using it as ...

Berghaus Extrem Duvet 2011

£200.00

The Berghaus Extrem Duvet is almost the ideal duvet for really cold winter nights on the hills. It comes with good-quality down and is very warm, unlike some of the lighter jackets here. That added insulation does mean this is a little heavier than some at 708g, but I’d rather go for maximum warmth than minimal weight in winter. The ...

Berghaus Teton

£170.00

This is a technical looking jacket with Gore Windstopper fabric giving the Teton great weatherproofing. Inside, the fleece lining is warm and could almost be mistaken for animal fur with its longer pile. Although there is a great feel to the fabric, there is not as much stretch as in many others. Also, the number of zips on it means ...

Berghaus Tshort Haul 2010

£40.00

Berghaus has hit this market perfectly with the Tshort Haul, managing to produce kit that is practical and well cut. The shirt feels silky and cool, and comes with antimicrobial treatment that means even if you do get hot the clothing won’t pong. There’s a zipped pocket at the chest and mesh at the back to help wick sweat away. ...

Berghaus Long-Sleeve Zip Tech T base layer

£28.00

A super-light base-layer that is perfect for summer walking, but doesn’t provide as much warmth as others in the winter. The lightweight fabric and flat seams feel great against the skin and the fabric wicks moisture incredibly quickly, dries very rapidly, and is treated with silver ion technology for odour-resistance. There isn’t enough stretch in the fabric to allow the ...

Berghaus Ossa

£120.00

The Ossa is a nice looking jacket with quite a relaxed fit, but the arms feel heavier and less comfortable than some because of the large underarm pit-zips (although these do provide a welcome flow of air). The fabric is soft and fleece-lined for warmth and there’s a deep collar to bury your face in. On the downside, the pockets ...

Berghaus LS Zip Tech T 2009

£28.00

The Berghaus LS Zip Tech T base layer weighs 201g (men’s S); looser fit; good price; very comfy; light; generous zip for venting; quick-drying; very versatile due to warmth; great wicking action and swift drying time, so a good choice for changeable conditions. But seams run along shoulders; fabric snags and pills easily; sleeves and hem are prone to riding ...

BERGHAUS LS ZIP TECH T

£26.00

Review: The polyester fabric feels wonderfully soft against the skin but it lacks any real stretch so it needs to be worn loose (you may have to go up a size). This base-layer dealt well with moisture, keeping things dry when working really hard, and the high neck and lovely long zip made it as versatile as any top tested. ...

Berghaus Hobart III

£100.00

Lovely soft fleece lining and snug cuffs – just what you need on a cold windy day in the Lakes! Beautifully cut and has the feel of a quality garment. A pleasure to wear. Apart from two well-sized handwarmer pockets, this jacket has no other extra features and doesn’t need them either – a mark of good design. It just ...

Berghaus Twister 2008

£80.00

The Twister provides the basic requirements of a soft shell jacket at a great price, and that is why it wins the ‘Best Value’ award. The fabric is very water- and wind-resistant. It keeps most of the wind out but also allows a good level of breathability, making this a fine alternative to a less breathable but more waterproof hard ...

Berghaus Infinity Light

£100.00

The infinity Light, as the name might imply, is a really light, easily packable insulated jacket. It is constructed using some of the best materials the industry has to offer. The jacket includes a women’s-specific model, and this offers a cut that is nicely fitted. It folds neatly and easily into the internal pocket, and is so small you should ...

Berghaus W Hobart III

£100.00

This windproof fleece from Berghaus is a pretty good fit, although the fabric didn’t have instant “ahh” appeal, feeling heavy and bulky in comparison to the best. The hem is quite short, which will suit some. Performs impeccably on windy days, offering excellent windproofing and breathability. It’s a very warm fleece, but mesh pockets and elastic cuffs add welcome ventilation. ...

Berghaus Activity Jacket IA

£60.00

This midweight fleece from Berghaus is a touch too big and the fleece cuffs too baggy. The collar is perfect, though, and the drawcord hem does a good job of sealing warmth in. Cut from a lovely, soft, recycled Polartec Thermal Pro fabric, the Activity is a warm and cosy fleece that performs well both as a mid and top-layer. ...

Berghaus Infinity Lite

£100.00

This duvet jacket weighs only 320g; Primaloft synthetic insulation; simple smock design; stuffsack; map-sized chest pocket; tunnel hip pocket; superb as extra insulation outside the coldest months. But only a thin garment, so not very warm; you may want a hood.

Berghaus Activity Jacket

£60.00

This popular fleece mid layer is now made from recycled Polartec Thermal Pro 200 weight fabric, so it gains the ethical edge over most other jackets that offer the same basic style and features. The material is made from recycled plastic bottles and industrial polyester waste. The 200 weight fleece is quite warm. You get a fairly standard design of ...

Berghaus Infinity Light

£100.00

This insulated jacket is very light at just 300g (including a 10g stuffsack), and so it is ideal for carrying all year round as an extra back-up layer or to slip on when you have a rest on a cold hill. It is a smock design to save weight, with just one zipped pocket, which is positioned on the chest ...

Berghaus Proshield Soft Shell

£120.00

This top provides another extension of the soft shell genre by being a little more durable and insulating than some other options, which is also why it is heavier. It is made from four-way stretch Gore Windstopper fabric, which is very water-resistant and windproof, while still being breathable. You get map-sized chest pockets plus a third small chest pocket, which ...

Berghaus Element

£80.00

This soft shell jacket from Berghaus is a good fit in the body and the Mistral Soft Shell fabric offers a reasonable amount of stretch too. The collar is nice and high – a big plus. However, the cuffs are too tight to pull up easily. A little heavier and warmer than some, the Element leans slightly towards the colder ...

Berghaus Hurricane

£100.00

This windproof fleece from Berghaus is a little on the tight side, and the non-stretch cuffs are also tight, making it tricky to take on and off. The soft, snug fabric is good, and the drawcord hem works well. The neck baffle tucks away too – good for long hair. The pockets are perfectly positioned – nice and high – ...

Berghaus Element

£80.00

This soft shell jacket from Berghaus is spot-on for size and there is even enough room to squeeze a midweight fleece on underneath in really cold weather. The fleece-lined cuffs are great, and the fabric certainly stretches well enough to allow complete freedom of movement. The Mistral soft shell fabric keeps the wind out completely and does a great job ...
