Mammut Ultimate Hoody (2012)

£200.00

This is a midweight jacket, yet still one of the most technical on the market. Gore-Tex Windstopper fabric has been used to block out the breeze, which really increases the warmth-to-weight ratio. With membrane technology, the fabric can get a little warm, but there are a couple of huge vents running right up the sides. The inside is mesh-lined, as ...

Mammut Ajungilak Kompakt 3 Season (2012)

£150.00

The Ajungilak Kompakt is an extremely well-established classic synthetic 3-season sleeping bag. At 1850g it is heavier than equivalent down bags, but as it’s filled with a good-quality synthetic insulation it feels slightly warmer than other bags of similar temperature ratings. The bag’s stuffsack comes with compression straps so it can be cranked down to a respectable size. The bag ...

First test: Mammut Brecon boots (2012)

£145.00

British mountains provide a unique test for the walker, with terrain that includes everything from smooth paths to rocky scrambles and from grassy slopes to boggy moors. While it is easy to get gear that performs well in one situation, it is far more difficult to find outdoors kit that manages to handle everything the UK hills can throw at ...

Mammut Hera Element 40+ (2012)

£125.00

The Mammut Hera Element 40+ (as you might imagine) boasts a capacity of 40+ litres, but accommodates a generous amount of kit with room to spare, so it’s good for trips of several days. The rucksack has two compartments, one of which can be zipped away to create a single space, and large tags on the lower zips are perfect ...

Mammut Teton GTX (2012)

£140.00

This is a well-padded yet stiff and protective boot suited to a wide range of terrain. The generous amount of space inside will suit those with slightly wider feet – there’s a bit more room around the heel especially – while generous amounts of foam extend up the ankle. The sole unit is fairly stiff and provides a stable platform ...

Mammut Mt Centry GTX (2012)

£180.00

Outwardly Mammut Mt Centry GTX scrambling boots have a strong walking pedigree with a good rolling flex, plenty of comfortable padding and quick-lacing hooks; but lurking beneath their soft Labrador exterior is a hyperactive Border Collie just dying to scamper up some rocks. The tell-tale signs of this dual personality are fairly well-disguised, and come in the form of a ...

First test: Mammut Gipfelgrat jacket

£395.00

There was a time when walkers just bought a ‘coat’. In due course you could purchase a ‘waterproof’. And then these became known as ‘hard shells’, while their non-waterproof counterparts were called ‘soft shells’. But if you have not quite got the hang of all the latest outdoor jargon, don’t worry, as now ‘soft shells’ are also called ‘waterproof jackets’ ...

Mammut Creon Classic (2011)

£75.00

From the outside, it looks like a simple pack and there aren’t too many straps and flappy bits to get in the way. Even the bottle pockets have zips to tidy away and secure your water – bad news for Duke of Edinburgh hikers, with their flapping tin cups et al, but good news for everybody else who doesn’t like ...

Mammut Zip Long Sleeve All Year (2012)

£70.00

This is a top base-layer and another using a mix of merino and polypropylene to give benefits of both materials. The top uses ‘body-mapping’ techniques – using different construction in different places to help retain warmth and draw away moisture where necessary. Underarm and back sections are built to draw moisture away quickly with thinner material. The front uses a ...

Mammut X-Shot (2012)

£85.00

The Mammut X-Shot benefits from a good range of white light outputs, from a full-power beam that is very clean, bright and wide to a more expansive flood for short-range use. You can buy an additional ambient light diffuser, which transforms the headtorch into a source of good general light when camping. The excellent quality of the light should make ...

Mammut Monolith 2012

£220.00

The slightly lower price of the Mammut Monolith compared to many other boots makes it instantly attractive. The boot sports modern styling, thanks to the mix of materials on the upper. There is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining and on the outside a full rubber rand improves long-term durability. Get this boot on and the ankle cuff feels slightly more supportive ...

Mammut Appalachian GTX 2011

£185.00

The Mammut Appalachian GTX weighs in a little lighter than some other comparable boots we looked at, and it also gets a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, which makes the price very impressive compared to alternative options. You don’t get a full leather upper; however the textile is only around the tongue so it should not detract too much from the performance. ...

Mammut Albaron /Adamello 2011

£360.00

At 448g (men’s L) the Mammut Albaron /Adamello is the lightest jacket in our test, and while it is certainly trimmed down to make that weight it still has some great features. It is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, as are many other jackets, but this feels like a thinner and therefore lighter version. To maintain durability you get reinforcement ...

Mammut MT Crest GTX

£160.00

These have the look and feel of a much more technical, higher-end style of boot. There is a high ankle cuff that provides cushioning and support, coupled with a thick nubuck leather upper. The heel section is nicely reinforced too, and provides good hold for your ankles. The inside of the ankle cuff is lined with leather and, with its ...

Mammut Ultimate Advanced 2011

£200.00

The Mammut Ultimate Advanced jacket is a good example of what’s possible with Gore Windstopper fabric, which has a microporous membrane sandwiched between the outer and inner layers to make the fabric windproof and breathable while also allowing it to shed light rain. It doesn’t feel quite as warm as other fabrics, but this could be an advantage as you ...

Mammut Creon Pro 2011

£125.00

The Mammut Creon Pro takes a radical look at back system comfort by providing a mesh frame that allows airflow across the back, which can also be adjusted to allow a closer fit when scrambling. This works surprisingly well, although when adjusted to sit closer to the body it’s not as comfortable because it lacks the cushioning or airflow. The ...

Mammut Redburn GTX

£115.00

Here’s a pair of approach-style shoes with climbing firmly in their DNA – the tough rubber rand surrounding the asymmetrically pointed toes is a definite giveaway. As is the lacing that continues right down to the toes and helps achieve a secure, tight fit. The sock-like inner means they provide some of the best waterproofing of any shoes tested, with ...

Mammut Mercury GTX 2011

£145.00

Mammut has a wide range of footwear products that extend from cross-trainers for multi-activity sports to full mountaineering boots for Himalayan climbs. The new Light Hiking range places the Mercury as its flagship product, thanks to its incredibly low weight coupled with springy underfoot cushioning and a striking design.

Mammut Ultimate Pro

£135.00

Definitely one of the most technical jackets on test but just look at its price tag. It looks like the kind of top you would see on a foreign mountain guide somewhere high up a rockface. Even for our purposes it still performs incredibly well. The fabric may make it look like a 1980s tracksuit top, but it’s far more ...

Mammut Impact GTX

£110.00

First impressions of the Impact were good, with great levels of padding throughout the upper and particularly around the ankle, balanced out with a stiff heel section. This combination of soft upper and hard sole makes them a decent bet to be worn year round. On harder ground and road sections, the hard sole can jar a little, as the ...

Mammut Redburn 2011

£90.00

The Mammut Redburn is a rock-orientated shoe that is designed for approaching climbing crags. So there is no waterproof lining but the upper does resist light rain. The lacing extends all the way to the toe for a more precise fit when scrambling or climbing. The toe box is firm to protect the foot, while a rubber rand protects the ...

Mammut Teton GTX 2011

£140.00

The Mammut Teton GTX weighs 1584g (pair, size 11); leather and fabric upper; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; Vibram sole with aggressive pattern of lugs and good stiffness; firm toe box with good rubber rand for durability. But not quite as good as other boots in its price bracket; a slightly more pronounced heel breast may offer advantages when descending slopes.

But for £20 more you can get the Mammut Teton GTX, which is a bit lighter; a more pronounced heel breast would assist braking ...

Mammut Ajungilak Tundra 2011

£90.00

There is a truly luxurious feel to the Mammut Ajungilak Tundra, a sleeping bag that offers a brilliant balance between warmth, weight and cost. The softTX inner fabric immediately makes you feel drowsy, and pulling that hood tight gives the sort of feeling that should be reserved for the spa. The hood is perfectly shaped and, in conjunction with the ...

Mammut Base Jump Advanced Pant 2011

£130.00

The Mammut Base Jump Advanced Pant is a modern classic that in many ways sets the standard for other trousers to meet. Firstly it benefits from a wide range of sizes so it should fit more people than most trousers do. The fabric is very tough and durable, so it’s great for scramblers, mountaineers and mountain walkers who end up ...
