Peter Storm Female Gaiter 2010

£15.00

The Peter Storm Female Gaiter boasts a low price; Velcro, zip and press studs ensure it stays secure once fitted; women’s-specific fit means it fits better than some unisex brands. But it only comes in one size, so may not fit those with bigger calves so well; polypropylene is not as breathable as other fabrics; fabric underfoot strap is not ...

Blacks Female Gaiter 2010

£18.00

The Blacks Female Gaiter has an easy-to-adjust underboot strap that is simple to replace; zip, Velcro and press stud closure means it stays put; close fit. But it only comes in one size, so those with larger legs may struggle; polypropylene is less breathable than other fabrics costing a couple of pounds more.

The Result Performance R155J Junior is half the price of many of the children’s jackets in this review. Bargain! It comes in at a very respectable weight too and packs down small so you won’t mind carrying it for your children during dry spells.

Trailwise Snolock Gaiter (2012)

£25.00

With a price tag that’s half that of some other options, the Trailwise Snolock Gaiter is clearly good value. It is made from cotton duck (better known as canvas), a woven cotton fabric. As it is not as breathable as some other fabrics it can get a bit clammy, but so do most gaiters, so this is arguably not a ...

Keela Multi Activity Advance

£30.00

These waterproof trousers from Keela are fine for length, although the elasticated/drawcord waist is a little tight compared to some. They allow good movement, but could be more breathable. Thigh-length zips make them fairly easy to get on and off, although the narrow storm flaps could leave the zips exposed to rain. They have no pockets and there’s no easy ...

Trekmates Dry Softshell (2012)

£30.00

In the case of the Trekmates Dry Softshell, ‘Softshell’ means waterproof and breathable fabric that is soft and stretchy. This softness makes these gaiters extremely comfy to wear from a fabric perspective. The gaiter is shorter than most, and this will be a benefit or a drawback depending on how long your legs are (I’d prefer an extra 5cm on ...

Regatta Chandler II

£30.00

While waterproof trousers are notorious for a nuisance rustling noise as you walk, the Chandler II proved remarkably quiet. The softer face-fabric does mean that they are one of the easiest to snag on branches, but the pay-off is that it won’t sound like you’re wearing bin bags wrapped around your legs. They certainly aren’t easy to pull on over ...

Regatta Chandler II 2010

£33.00

Performed well in keeping rain and wind out, although not as breathable as some. They have a comfy polyester lining and a useful selection of zip-access pockets, and the waist is adjustable and elasticated so it’s easy to get a good fit. The leg-zips are on the small side, but they do the job, and they come in three leg ...

Craghoppers Travelite 2010

£35.00

Very light and packable trousers, so will definitely suit those who prefer to have waterproofs in their packs for emergencies only. But against them, they are flimsier than most. The sizing is very large and the leg zips are quite short, although it is possible to slip them over boots, just. They have a single pocket, which also doubles as ...

Berghaus GTX Gaiter (2012)

£35.00

As the name suggests, the Berghaus GTX Gaiter is made from Gore-Tex, and it benefits from a nice large area of tougher material around the ankle cuff. It also comes in two leg lengths so there is more chance it will fit you. At the back of the leg is a stretch panel, which should improve the fit further. When ...

Peter Storm Storm 100 2010

£35.00

An excellent budget-end trouser that’s perhaps a bit too heavy and bulky for emergency use only, but will do a good job for all-day wear, mainly because of a comfy fit and a good mesh liner, as well as a tough polyester fabric. They aren’t the most breathable trousers, so might be better suited to less strenuous walks; but they ...

Technicals Tech Lite 2008

£40.00

The Technicals Tech Lite general-purpose jacket weighs just 450g (women’s 10); low-priced; waterproof/ breathable HydroTec fabric; mesh adds comfort; two large chest pockets can be accessed with a rucksack; fixed hood has reasonable fit and movement; comes with stuffsack; additional chest pocket. But more money brings more waterproof and more breathable materials, features; very short.

Rohan Snowgaiters (2012)

£40.00

The Snowgaiter is made from Rohan’s Barricade waterproof and breathable fabric, which the brand also features in its popular range of travel clothing. The fabric has some stretch to allow a closer fit and there is some reinforcement at the ankle area to improve durability too, but others are more robust in this area. The gaiter comes in just one ...

Gelert Portobelo 2009

£40.00

This general-purpose jacket weighs 580g (size L); waterproof, breathable fabric; rollaway hood with wired peak; good hood fit and movement; chest pockets can be accessed while wearing rucksack; good sleeve movement; double stormflap over main zip. But better-performing fabric is available for a higher price; pocket mesh liners extend to hem, making retrieval of small items tricky.

Craghoppers Napier

£40.00

These waterproof overtrousers feel quite tough and durable, and they are a reasonable weight too. There’s a choice of leg lengths, which many people will appreciate. They are made from Craghoppers’ own breathable and waterproof fabric. The 45cm long side zip is enough to allow them to fit over boots, and the zip gets an external stormflap to keep the ...

Regatta Rampart

£40.00

These waterproof trousers from Regatta are a good fit, thanks to a part-elasticated waist with drawcord, press stud and belt loops. One of the heavier styles, but the tough polyamide fabric keeps the rain out and breathes well. Full-length two-way zips are great for taking on and off, venting and accessing trousers underneath, but practice is needed for optimum use. ...

Made from Isotex, Regatta’s own brand of waterproof and breathable fabric, the Diffuse children’s jacket instantly appears to have a good, small packed size. It is reasonably light too, so grown-ups won’t mind carrying it just in case it rains. The jacket has a similar design to others with a full-length front zip that has an external stormflap to keep ...

Berghaus Monsoon 2010

£40.00

The Berghaus Monsoon now uses AQ2, which is an updated version of the Aquafoil fabric that this jacket was made from in the past. There is a mesh lining inside for extra comfort. The front zip gets a double stormflap that is held in place with Velcro, so this should keep water out pretty easily. There are two zipped hip ...

Marmot Precip kids 2008

£40.00

The material used in the Marmot Precip children’s jacket is a good-quality fabric with a high level of waterproofness, so it should remain waterproof longer than lesser fabrics. There is no loose mesh inside, which could be an advantage if your child tends to get tangled up in such things. There’s a double stormflap over the front zip and a ...

Technicals Limitless

£40.00

These waterproof trousers from Technicals use a nice unlined fabric which, although very light, isn’t at all crinkly. The cut of the legs is spot on – enough room to move in without being too baggy. Perfect at the waist, too. Light to carry and don’t take up much room in the rucksack, either. The ankle zips are very short, ...

Technicals Limitless

£45.00

A classic pair of stuffable trousers for use when the heavens really open. On warmer days you are highly likely to get a bit of a clammy leg, with the less-than-amazing breathability of the fabric, and a distinct lack of venting on the leg, although in cold Essex snow, that wasn’t a huge problem. Putting them on with boots is ...
