Rab Bergen 2010

£110.00

The Bergens manage to balance a light weight and good packability against toughness, comfort and performance to make an excellent pair of trousers. The three-layer eVENT fabric feels incredibly breathable and it will also keep the rain out in even the worst weather. The hip-length zips make it easy to spill heat if the going gets hot; and the drawcord ...

Rab LS AEON Tee base layer

£25.00

A lightweight top and therefore not as warm as most, but as a dedicated base-layer it’s absolutely superb, being easy to move in, courtesy of ultra-stretchy fabric, and lovely and soft against the skin. It wicked brilliantly and dried in seconds, but it did pong after a couple of wears. An excellent component of a layering system and at a ...

It has two huge hip/chest pockets that double as vents and the cuffs are fastened with Velcro. Single-handed drawcords adjust the hem, trapping or releasing warmth, and another ...

Rab Bergen/Vidda 2009

£200.00

A well-proven performer and frequent Trail favourite, the Rab Bergen/Vidda general-purpose jacket is made from eVent fabric, which offers extremely high levels of waterproofness and breathability.

£175.00

The Rab Momentum jacket is a remarkable price for the features and weight on offer. Firstly at 356g (size L) it is light enough to stash in a pack on dry days. But more importantly when the rain comes the eVent fabric is well-proven to provide excellent performance in terms of waterproofness and condensation control. The jacket is fully featured ...

Rab Drillium 2009

£160.00

Rab Drillium

£175.00

The Drillium is made from three-layer eVENT fabric, which feels tough and protective, and not at all rustly or plastic. The cuffs are adjusted with Velcro – perfect for venting when needed – and the hem and hood use drawcords to fine-tune the fit. The hood is superb: deep and cosy with a wired peak, yet it packs into the ...

Rab Treklite Pant

£60.00

The Treklite is exceptionally comfortable, thanks to its lightweight, stretchy fabric that feels good against the skin and their well-shaped articulated knees. They come with an integral belt and stretch waist so you can be sure of a comfortable fit, but they only come in one leg length for each size, which may put some off. The fabric feels cool ...

RAB LATOK

£250.00

Review: Good length sleeves, a snug high collar and an excellent hood that really kept some awful weather out. It’s short at the hem, and the eVENT fabric, which breathed superbly, is a little stiff and rustly in comparison to some. It has superb, well-placed pockets, including two that will hold a map, and we liked the lengthy pit-zips, although ...

The Rab Super Dru is a modern classic that is very hard to beat if you’re in search of a functional, lightweight hill-walking jacket.

Rab Dolomite Gaiters

£30.00

The underfoot strap needed an extra hole for a good fit and, while they pulled sweetly over the boot, they were a tiny bit baggy on the leg. Light, breathable and they went on really easily with a Velcro-only front fastening.Contact: 01773 601870, www.rab.uk.com

Rab Latok 2008

£250.00

The Rab Latok winter jacket is made from eVent fabric, so breathability and waterproofness are as good as it gets. Better still, the fabric feels a little stiffer than some, so it should be better able to trap warm air around the body in a howling winter storm. The hood can be rolled down and secured, plus it benefits from ...
