Mountain Equipment Astral Hooded

£120.00

Lightweight and incredibly comfortable in a lovely feminine yet sporty design, the Astral is fleece-lined throughout, with lovely soft cuffs and chin guard. The fabric provides a decent amount of insulation and is also incredibly weather-resistant and very breathable. It’s stretchy, too, with Powerstretch panels under the arms for extra venting. It comes with a fully adjustable rollaway hood, which ...

Mountain Equipment Diablo/Minaret 2009

£200.00

The Mountain Equipment Diablo/Minaret is a new multi-activity jacket with many of the brand’s typical features built into a slightly shorter design to improve its performance in fast multi-sport mountain activity. At 458g (men’s L) it is reasonably light, but it benefits over some of the lighter jackets by being made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, which results in better condensation ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus/Seraph 2009

£200.00

A well-proven jacket, the Mountain Equipment Morpheus (the women’s version is the Seraph) boasts all the essentials for a hill-walker wanting to travel reasonably light. It is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, so you get excellent condensation control. Better still you get a stormflap over that front zip to keep rain out in a downpour. Also the pockets are not ...

Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat 2009

£250.00

The Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat is definitely one of my favourite jackets of recent years, and the benchmark general-purpose hill-walking jacket in my view. There are no changes from previous years and as this was ‘Best in Test’ last year it is up to the other brands to come up with something better to shift it from the top slot. ...

Mountain Equipment Tundra 2 2009

£375.00

Mountain Equipment has only added tents to its product range in recent years, but models such as the Dragonfly three-pole geodesic are already competing with the best. The latest addition is the Tundra 2, a two-person, two-pole tunnel. It weighs in at a very respectable 2400g, pitches outer-first and appears to offer a very functional blend of features for mountain ...

Mountain Equipment Starlight III 2009

£80.00

The Mountain Equipment Starlight III is quite a wide 3-season synthetic sleeping bag for unrestricted user comfort. It has ME’s shark’s toe footbox, which is shaped to contour around the feet, maximising warmth and eliminating heat-sapping dead space. The full-length two-way zip has a glow-in-the-dark zip pull, is secured at the top by a Velcro tab and has a minimalist ...

Mountain Equipment Graviton

£140.00

The Graviton is a short cut with drawcords at the hem and Velcro at the cuffs. The hood, which has a great wired peak, is deep and easily adjustable and rolls away tidily when not needed. The fabric’s quite soft, so doesn’t rustle, and the pockets are well-placed and large enough to take a map. It’s a light jacket and ...

Mountain Equipment Graviton Jacket 2009

£140.00

With waterproofs there’s a dilemma: to go for light weight, or comfort and practicality. But is there a top that does it all? The latest offering from Mountain Equipment (ME), the Graviton Jacket, is certainly up for the challenge.Weighing 290g (women’s 12), the Graviton is just 15g heavier than ME’s lightest waterproof (the Particle Jacket) but those few extra grams ...

MOUNTAIN EQUIPMENT OGRE

£240.00

Review: The brilliantly named Ogre has good-length sleeves and hem and an easily adjustable hood. The fabric is quite soft so it’s a comfy and quiet jacket. It’s a light jacket so packs down very small, but still proved totally waterproof and the hood was a godsend on one very bad day in North Wales. The pockets are perfect, with ...

Mountain Equipment Combin 2009

£100.00

Mountain Equipment has a long-standing reputation for highly versatile, quality outdoor wear – and their Combin trousers are no exception. I especially like the attention to detail on the features, which makes them a great choice for the hills all year round. The pockets are slightly offset so the zips avoid your hip bones (you soon know about this if ...

Mountain Equipment Snowline 2009

£325.00

There’s comfort built in to the Mountain Equipment Snowline sleeping bag, thanks to the EXL system, which allows elastic threads to hold the inner of the bag closer to the body for fewer cold spots. At the foot a ‘shark’s toe’ shape means the top is longer than the base, for added comfort. The sculpted hood fits like a jacket ...

Mountain Equipment Guide 2009

£40.00

There is a very good pre-curved profile to Mountain Equipment Guide gloves that make them very comfortable, while the fleece lining makes them reasonably warm too. You get a waterproof lining, and this is protected by a leather palm. I found the fit nice and close, and slightly more dexterous than similarly priced options. The wrist cuff is quite short ...

Mountain Equipment Mountain Stretch

£80.00

The fleece-lined waist band lacks elastic, but they come with an integral webbing belt which holds them up just fine. The Stretchlite Mountain fabric is light and stretchy and felt soft against the skin, while the articulated knees made them a delight to move in. They also come in regular and long leg lengths – a big bonus for getting ...

The Mountain Equipment Pro Lite is a new jacket that looks set to become very popular as it has a great set of features and makes use of the latest Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric, so it has excellent water and condensation control. The jacket is a simple design with a main front zip that benefits from an external stormflap. There ...

Mountain Equipment Windstopper Guide

£100.00

To make a jacket in this colour and send it for testing, you have to be very confident of your product! Luckily, the Windstopper Guide delivers in spades. And actually the sunset yellow colour isn’t too bad after all! A lot lighter than some with a good generous cut and stretchy underarm and back panels for ease of movement and ...

Mountain Equipment Ogre/ Nanga Parbat

£220.00

The Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat general-purpose jacket is a frequent winner of Trail reviews, and last year it was improved with the addition of Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric. This shaved around 40g off the weight and gave the jacket a soft feel. No changes this year, so you still get a little extra length compared with the average jacket, meaning ...

Mountain Equipment Astron Hooded/Astral Hooded 2008

£120.00

This soft shell jacket was developed specifically for those who want a soft shell that is stretchy, light and easy to pack in your rucksack – and it is one of the lightest here. It uses Polartec Power Shield fabric, which is extremely wind-resistant and very water-resistant, but most importantly it is also more breathable than the more waterproof options, ...

Mountain Equipment AR Ultralight II tent (2008)

£200.00

ReviewThis is a very light tent, and you can save a further 156g by ditching the pole set and using a pair of trekking poles instead. It pitches outer-first with two vertical poles supporting the outer, and then the inner is suspended from inside. The wedge-shaped design creates a reasonable amount of space to sit up under the ridge and ...

Mountain Equipment Women’s Lightline Ultra

£230.00

This is a swish-looking 3-season down sleeping bag. It’s well put together and finished, giving a real feeling of money well spent. Inside the feeling of luxury continues with a really soft lining fabric that’s wonderful to fall asleep in. Down- and synthetic-filled baffles are positioned around the neck and either side of the zip, and these can be Velcroed ...

Mountain Equipment Mountain Stretch Pant

£80.00

Very comfy walking trousers that are almost as good as the best but lower in price. They come in regular and short leg lengths too. The fabric is a four-way stretch material, which further enhances fit and comfort, and it is softer on the skin than some lower-priced options. The waist is pretty standard, but it is lined with chamois ...

Mountain Equipment Alpamayo

£140.00

When it comes to insulated jackets, pretty much everything on the wish list is here. There’s a ladies-specific option – yet it stays true to a more technical cut with no cold bottom, contrary to what you get with so many jackets when they do a women’s version. The hood is fully adjustable and comes with a wired peak, something ...

Mountain Equipment Particle Pant

£70.00

These are exceptionally lightweight waterproof overtrousers that come with a tiny stuffsack for easy packing in your rucksack. The fabric is very thin, while the articulated knees allow a close but not restrictive fit. Fitting is very easy thanks to a long (83cm) zip which makes putting them on over boots a doddle. There is a drawcord at the hem ...
