Outdoor Designs Wmns Perma Gaiter 2010

£20.00

The Outdoor Designs Wmns Perma Gaiter is a great price considering it’s made of eVent – one of the most breathable fabrics around. I liked the fact that the drawcord sits at the back of the leg, meaning it won’t be uncomfortable when kneeling or scrambling. A front closure consisting of a combination of a zip, Velcro and press studs ...

Trekmates Cairngorm Gaiter 2010

£30.00

The Trekmates Cairngorm Gaiter is a classic, no-fuss gaiter with a traditional elasticated cuff fit. The double press stud, Velcro and zip front closure are easy to use and ensure that once fitted these gaiters stay in place. I found that the lace hooks were easy to latch on with minimal fuss. The underboot strap is durable and easy to ...

Peter Storm Flite

£30.00

These waterproof trousers from Peter Storm are both light and compact, giving a good, close fit without impeding movement, aided by an elasticated/drawcord waist. Although lightweight, the nylon ripstop fabric seems robust. The long two-way water-resistant zips make them easy to get on and off, and also let you vent easily and access your trouser pockets underneath. However, the zips ...

Lowe Alpine Mtn Gaiter 2010

£30.00

Much like the Berghaus GTX Gaiters, the Lowe Alpine Mtn Gaiters have the more modern tapered design to give as close a fit as possible – however these are cut slightly more generously. The Velcro front fastening with a press stud keeps them firmly in place once fitted, and securing the lace hook to my boots presented no problems. I ...

Wynnster Braemar

£30.00

Although fairly heavy, these waterproof trousers from Wynnster are a great fit and comfortable to move in. The soft lined Aquastop fabric breathes well. Available in two lengths, with knee-length gusseted side zips, they are easy to take on and off over boots. The elasticated/drawcord waist is great, but the two zipped side pockets are a little fiddly to access.

Sprayway Hawk 2010

£35.00

The price of the Sprayway Hawk is lower than most jackets here, and there are some good features for the money. So you get a jacket made from Sprayway’s well-proven HydroDry fabric, which offers good performance. There is a mesh lining for added comfort, and two hip pockets are provided as well. On this jacket unlike some others you get ...

Wynnster Braemar

£35.00

These waterproof trousers from Wynnster feel tailor-made, and the soft, lined fabric doesn’t feel like it should be waterproof at all. Elasticated/drawcord waist, but pull tabs on the pocket zips would be good. Copes admirably in bad weather, but fiddlier to pull on than some.   Colours: Navy blue, blackSizes: S-XLFabric: Aquastop (polyester)/nylon taffeta liningWeight: 405gWomen’s version: YesContact: 01372 377713, ...

Rab Latok Alpine (2012)

£35.00

Designed for mountain walking and alpine climbing, Rab Latok Alpine gaiters feature a 3-layer stretch eVent fabric. The stretch element allows them to provide a snug fit, which is comfortable while not restricting calf muscle flex. The use of eVent limits condensation build-up well. There’s also a nice big chunk of Cordura on the ankle to prevent wear and tear ...

There is a front zip and this has an external stormflap to keep the rain out. There are two zipped hip pockets too. The sleeves get Velcro cuffs so the fit can be adjusted. Unusually for a ...

Berghaus Deluge Overtrouser

£40.00

These are definitely the best waterproof overtrousers for £40 that we tested. In particular they get a long leg zip, making them very easy to fit over boots. That zip also has a double stormflap with press studs, so it will keep out far more water than an exposed water-resistant zip for example. An even nicer addition is the ability ...

Extremities Nova Gaiter(2012)

£45.00

The Extremities Nova Gaiter is a well-proven design made of Gore-Tex fabric with extra reinforcement around the ankle for added durability. Unlike many gaiters featured here, on this one you get a front zip and Velcro closure with press studs at the top and bottom. For me I find this slightly easier to fit than the Velcro-only designs, but I ...

Gelert Timor 2010

£45.00

The Gelert Timor is the lowest-priced waterproof jacket featured in our 2010 general-purpose jackets test, and lower-priced jackets are often poorly designed – but like so many other Gelert products this is actually very well-designed. The fabric is waterproof and breathable of course, and there is a mesh lining inside to improve comfort. But it is the jacket’s design that ...

This Extremities Novagaiter is a durable gaiter that feels suitably robust for hill and mountain use. The front closure features a zip, a narrow strip of Velcro and two press studs to help align it neatly and easily. The drawcord, as with the Lowe Alpine design, sits at the side of the leg to stop any discomfort when kneeling, but ...

Páramo Long Gaiters 2010

£51.00

Thanks to Páramo’s Nikwax Analogy fabric, the Páramo Long Gaiters are by far the most breathable gaiters on test. The front closure system features a unique back-to-front zip design (which starts at the top and ends at the foot), making them very easy to fasten, while five press studs running down the length of the gaiter keep it firmly in ...

Páramo Long Gaiters (2012)

£52.00

Páramo Long Gaiters are very well-proven. Like Páramo waterproof clothing they benefit from a fabric that is extremely durable, and even if it does become torn it is more easily repaired than other waterproof fabrics. The fabric is slightly warmer than some others, but it’s also more breathable and controls condensation well. The gaiter is fitted with a zip that ...

Haglöfs Storm Pants

£55.00

These waterproof overtrousers are exceptionally lightweight, and the slightly articulated knees allow a close yet not restrictive fit. There is a 99cm long side zip, which makes fitting them over any boots a breeze. I also like the fact that the side zips can be vented from the top, which is very useful when you are overheating but don’t want ...

Páramo Torres Overlayering Insulation (Sleeves & Trousers) 2009

“Brrrr! Nice view, but I’m cold and wet, and I need to keep moving to stay warm.” How many times have you said that, having sweated your way up a mountain? When you’re cold and wet it’s hard to enjoy even the best mountain views. The problem is that most clothing systems are not designed to keep you warm when ...

Lowe Alpine Omega 2010

£60.00

The Omegas are quite heavy due to a mesh lining, but this aids breathability, adds a bit of insulation, and even makes them comfortable enough to wear against the skin. The waistband is elastic with a drawcord, and they come in three leg lengths. The three-quarter length leg-zips make them easy to slip on over your boots. And the zips ...

Sprayway Hydrolite

£60.00

These are rugged, cleanly designed bad-weather trousers. The Hydrolite fabric is waterproof, with good breathability levels and the huge side zips offer such cracking venting that you never need sweat in them. The zips extend about four-fifths of the way up the leg and make them a doddle to get into. Although exposed, they do have an internal storm flap ...

This waterproof jacket has had great reviews since its launch in 2006. The Altitude is well-featured, and it looks and feels like an adult’s jacket. So you get a good, robust fabric with a mesh lining for added comfort. The zips are all protected by stormflaps to keep the rain out. The hood rolls into the collar and when opened ...

Rohan Mountain Pass Overtrousers

£60.00

Rohan is well-known for making great travel gear, but these waterproof overtrousers are good enough for hill-walkers too, particularly as they feel more durable than some of the lighter options. They get 44cm side zips, which were long enough to allow easy fitting over my size 11 boots. The zips are fitted at the back of the calf and get ...
