Hawkshead Pakka 2010

£15.00

Quite a loose fit but the Pakkas come in two leg lengths to help you get a good fit. The fabric has a good DWR coating so water runs off easily, but it doesn’t breathe as well as some and feels quite plasticky. They’re incredibly lightweight, though, and for only £15, they’re a great choice for fair-weather walkers who carry ...

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.

Result Performance R150J 2010

£18.00

For £25 you get a lot of jacket as the Result Performance R150J has a fleece lining stitched inside, unlike anything else featured here. This makes it warmer than the others and therefore ideal in winter. The fabric feels pretty robust too. The front zip gets a double stormflap to keep the wind and rain out, while two huge pockets ...

Result Performance R155J Junior 2009

£18.00

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. Reflective piping wraps around the whole jacket at waist level so it is easily picked out ...

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 ...

Result Performance Po Coach 2010

£22.00

Very cheap and sadly the performance and fit reflected this, making them at best a real emergency solution for those on a very tight budget. The size S/M was huge on our medium tester, and they flapped noisily in even the slightest breeze. They kept rain out, but they didn’t really breathe at all, so any kind of energetic walking ...

Result Performance Waterproof 2000 Pro Coach

£25.00

This lightweight waterproof weighs 468g (size L); polyester mesh lining adds comfort; reflective piping; chest pockets are accessible while wearing a rucksack.But the hood fit and movement is unbelievably bad; higher price will mean more breathable fabric, lighter designs and more features.

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 ...

Rab Ultra Gaiter Wmns 2010

£25.00

The Rab Ultra Gaiter Wmns’ eVent fabric is very breathable; durable underboot strap is easy to adjust and replace; Velcro and zips at opening keep gaiter secure. But I found it almost impossible to get the lace hook over my laces and when I did I couldn’t do up the press stud, so not fantastic fit-wise (size M).

Bushbaby Ripstop Waterproof 2009

£26.00

Made from PU-coated ripstop nylon, the Bushbaby Ripstop Waterproof offers the basic features needed to stay dry at a competitive price. This children’s jacket has a full-length zip with a stormflap over the outside to keep the worst of the rain out. The cuffs have Velcro adjustment to lock out the wind and rain too. The hood is a fixed ...

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.

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 ...

Regatta Nebulae

£30.00

Regatta can always be trusted to provide great-value outdoor gear, and this new waterproof jacket is no exception. The Nebulae is made from a robust fabric with a mesh lining for added comfort. The design is fairly standard with two hip pockets and a front zip, single stormflaps on all zips keeping the rain out. There is a hem drawcord ...

Wynnster Montana

£30.00

This waterproof is primarily a ski jacket, so it is very warm. The insulation is built into a waterproof shell, though, so it will keep your child dry too. You even get a zip-out snow skirt for keeping the powder at bay. Hem drawcords and Velcro cuff adjustment keep draughts out, while a stormflap on the main zip keeps water ...

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 ...

Wynnster Stowaway 2008

£30.00

The Wynnster Stowaway multi-activity jacket is a low price; waterproof, breathable fabric; hood rolls into collar; map-sized chest pocket; front zip gets double stormflap. But 550g (S) is very heavy; higher price brings better fabric; hip pocket access is easily obscured by rucksack belts; hood drawcords left to flap; large, soft peak obscures vision.

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 ...

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 ...

Stormlite Rainfall

£30.00

These waterproof trousers from Stormlite are warm, probably due to a very loose lining, and there is also a little condensation build-up on energetic walks. The elasticated/drawcord waist and Velcro ankle tabs work OK. The knee-length zips have gussets for added rain protection, but these limit space when pulling over boots, and can also snag in the zips. They roll ...

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 ...

Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket 2008

£33.00

A regular winner of Trail reviews of kids’ jackets, the Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket is still very hard to beat. It’s made from a good waterproof and breathable fabric with a mesh lining, so it should be comfy. The chest pocket and lower pockets are all zipped, with stormflaps to keep the rain out. The front zip gets a large, ...
