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 ...

Regatta Chandler II

£30.00

These waterproof trousers from Regatta are a good fit, with a functional drawcord/elastic waist and an easily adjustable Velcro tab at the ankle. The Isotex fabric is lovely and soft and they have a comfy lining, too. Not the best to pack, but offer good waterproofness and breathability. The Isotex fabric is tough.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Regatta Mantle

£48.00

The Mantle is quite a short jacket, yet it’s heavy and quite bulky too. This is mainly down to a mesh lining, which is comfortable but unnecessary in this type of jacket, and a stuff-sack pocket that comes with an elastic belt attached. It has a good selection of pockets (none that will take a map) but packaway hood is ...

Sprayway Hydrolite

£50.00

These waterproof trousers from Sprayway are baggy, but still a decent fit. Good length with elastic/drawcord waist adjustment. The soft, rustle-free Hydrolite fabric stretches slightly, making for easy movement. Excellent waterproofness and breathability. The rugged fabric will also take a few scrapes. The long two-way zips are good, but trousers are a little heavy and bulky. Colour: BlackSizes: S-XXL ...

Berghaus Altitude

£60.00

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 ...

Millet Taka Pant

£75.00

The fabric used in these waterproof overtrousers has a far higher waterproof rating than others we looked at, so they should stay waterproof for longer. There is a mesh lining too, which aids condensation control and comfort. You get 75cm side zips, and these trousers fit easily – even over my size 11 boots. The zips have an external stormflap ...

Mountain Hardwear Epic

£85.00

This is a substantial jacket, but it comes at a good price and performs well enough to justify a few extra grammes. The main zip is chunky and tough, with a bomb-proof storm flap, and the hem is relatively long and easily adjustable with drawcords. It comes with excellent pit-zips, Velcro cuffs, and the hip pockets are well-placed and a ...

Weighs in at over 400g and this reflects in its quality and features; a pretty hefty storm flap, good pit-zips and a very adjustable hood. The pockets are quite low but can just about be accessed with a pack belt on. They also provide venting as well as just enough space to ram a map into. The fabric kept rain ...

Columbia Spring Ridge

£100.00

This waterproof jacket from Colombia fits really well. It is cut shorter than many, which won’t appeal to everyone. The fully adjustable hood is very good and covers your face well, even though it doesn’t have a wired peak. The snug collar and soft, rustle-free fabric are good too. The Spring Ridge is quite lightweight for all the features it ...
