Mountain Equipment Seraph

£240.00

A really technical-looking jacket with all the features of a top-quality waterproof. It’s comfortable to wear, with adjustment at the cuffs, waist and hem to fine-tune the fit, and soft fabric at the chin to prevent chafing. The hood is fantastic – deep enough for the biggest heads of hair, with adjustment side and back to lock it down tightly ...

Mountain Equipment Kongur 2011

£290.00

A frequent winner of Trail tests, the Mountain Equipment Kongur is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric like many others; but what I particularly like is that you get a little extra length in the body. You can still wear a harness and climb in this jacket, but you just don’t get as wet compared to shorter options. Also the ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus/Seraph 2011

£240.00

A well-proven jacket that has frequently been highly rated in Trail tests. The Mountain Equipment Morpheus for men and Seraph for women boast a great set of features that Mountain Equipment is well-known for providing. So you get three large chest pockets that can be easily accessed while wearing a rucksack hipbelt. The pockets are not mesh-lined, so they don’t ...

There are many waterproof and breathable fabrics out there, and for autumn 2011 there is a new kid on the block: Gore-Tex Active Shell. This new addition to the Gore stable is billed as their ‘most breathable waterproof fabric ever’, so if you are tired of getting wet in the hills from condensation could this be the fabric you have ...

Mountain Equipment Arete

£120.00

The Arete is noticeably very warm, making it suitable both for the coldest days and less strenuous winter walks. It’s pitched as a mid-layer replacement for your fleece, but it will need to be a fairly icy day for you to avoid being too warm if you’re wrapped in the Arete under a waterproof shell layer. The jacket feels well ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus 2011

It uses Gore-Tex Pro Shell, the most recent addition to the Gore-Tex range of waterproof breathable fabrics, which boasts top-quality performance in the lab and proven performance on the hill.

Mountain Equipment Kongur 2010

£290.00

The Mountain Equipment Kongur is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell like most jackets here, so it is top of the league on performance. What I like about this jacket compared with most is that it is a little longer in the body, so it offers more protection. But the cut still allows this jacket to be worn comfortably with a ...

Mountain Equipment Firefox 2010

£200.00

The Mountain Equipment Firefox multi-activity jacket is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, so it may not be as light and packable as Gore-Tex Paclite jackets, but it does control condensation much better. The jacket is sealed from the elements pretty well too as there is just one pocket and this is not mesh-lined. The front zip has internal stormflap to ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus/Seraph 2010

£200.00

The Mountain Equipment Morpheus/Seraph general-purpose jacket is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, so you get excellent levels of condensation control and waterproofness. There is a double stormflap over the main front zip and the pockets are sealed so the wearer does not get wet even if water enters the pockets. The three pockets on the chest all easily swallow a ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus/Seraph 2009

£200.00

A well-proven jacket, the Mountain Equipment Morpheus (the women’s version is the Seraph) boasts all the essentials for a hill-walker wanting to travel reasonably light. It is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, so you get excellent condensation control. Better still you get a stormflap over that front zip to keep rain out in a downpour. Also the pockets are not ...

Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat 2009

£250.00

The Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat is definitely one of my favourite jackets of recent years, and the benchmark general-purpose hill-walking jacket in my view. There are no changes from previous years and as this was ‘Best in Test’ last year it is up to the other brands to come up with something better to shift it from the top slot. ...

Mountain Equipment Diablo/Minaret 2009

£200.00

The Mountain Equipment Diablo/Minaret is a new multi-activity jacket with many of the brand’s typical features built into a slightly shorter design to improve its performance in fast multi-sport mountain activity. At 458g (men’s L) it is reasonably light, but it benefits over some of the lighter jackets by being made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, which results in better condensation ...

Mountain Equipment Graviton

£140.00

The Graviton is a short cut with drawcords at the hem and Velcro at the cuffs. The hood, which has a great wired peak, is deep and easily adjustable and rolls away tidily when not needed. The fabric’s quite soft, so doesn’t rustle, and the pockets are well-placed and large enough to take a map. It’s a light jacket and ...

Mountain Equipment Graviton Jacket 2009

£140.00

With waterproofs there’s a dilemma: to go for light weight, or comfort and practicality. But is there a top that does it all? The latest offering from Mountain Equipment (ME), the Graviton Jacket, is certainly up for the challenge.Weighing 290g (women’s 12), the Graviton is just 15g heavier than ME’s lightest waterproof (the Particle Jacket) but those few extra grams ...

MOUNTAIN EQUIPMENT OGRE

£240.00

Review: The brilliantly named Ogre has good-length sleeves and hem and an easily adjustable hood. The fabric is quite soft so it’s a comfy and quiet jacket. It’s a light jacket so packs down very small, but still proved totally waterproof and the hood was a godsend on one very bad day in North Wales. The pockets are perfect, with ...

In the Mountain Equipment Morpheus (the women’s version is the Seraph) you get classic Mountain Equipment features like large chest pockets and a great hood with a stiff peak that moves really well with the head.

Mountain Equipment Ogre/ Nanga Parbat

£220.00

The Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat general-purpose jacket is a frequent winner of Trail reviews, and last year it was improved with the addition of Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric. This shaved around 40g off the weight and gave the jacket a soft feel. No changes this year, so you still get a little extra length compared with the average jacket, meaning ...

Mountain Equipment Particle Pant

£70.00

These are exceptionally lightweight waterproof overtrousers that come with a tiny stuffsack for easy packing in your rucksack. The fabric is very thin, while the articulated knees allow a close but not restrictive fit. Fitting is very easy thanks to a long (83cm) zip which makes putting them on over boots a doddle. There is a drawcord at the hem ...

Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat

£220.00

A frequent winner of Trail reviews, this general-purpose waterproof jacket gets a facelift in winter 2007 with the introduction of Pro Shell fabric. This shaves around 40g off the weight, and gives it a softer feel while retaining excellent condensation control. You get just a little more length than many modern jackets, so that the hem just cups the bottom ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus/Seraph

£200.00

With this lightweight waterproof you get classic Mountain Equipment features like large chest pockets and a great hood with a stiff peak that moves really well with the head. But it is perhaps the use of Gore-Tex Pro Shell that gives this jacket the edge over previous designs, as it allows a very lightweight fabric to control condensation really well ...

Mountain Equipment Kongur

£260.00

The Kongur has won Trail’s winter jacket test for the past two years and for me it is still the best, particularly as it now comes with new Pro Shell fabric and as a consequence less weight. The jacket has a little more length than many here, making it ideal for remaining protected from a winter storm. The front zip ...

It is made from extremely waterproof and extremely breathable Paclite fabric. The jacket is a good length for most activities with a slightly scooped tail, and benefits from ...

Mountain Equipment Firebird

£170.00

This lightweight waterproof jacket from Mountain Equipment is a loose fit, although the drawcord at the waist helps pull it in. It’s let down by a loose, flimsy collar which, without a fleece chin guard, feels quite scratchy against the skin. The hood is a good size and adjusts easily, although the peak obstructs your vision. However, with no pit ...
