Salomon Quest 4D GTX (2012)

£150.00

The Quest 4D is a great-looking boot, with split-suede and mesh uppers and decent rubber bumpers at the toe and heel to keep them looking fresh. The narrow heel and comparatively wide forefoot gives them an incredibly secure feel, and this, coupled with an excellent lacing system and two offset locking eyelets, means your feet stay comfortably in place, even ...

Salomon Exit 2 Aero

£65.00

An excellent walking shoe for dry weather, the Exit 2 Aero ticks most of the walking shoe boxes: reasonably stiff sole, good tread pattern, great heel hold. It’s let down by a lack of a waterproof lining (although Gore-Tex versions are available) which reduces its usability in the rain. The absence of a membrane coupled with the mesh design does ...

Salomon Mountain Crossing

£130.00

: A lightweight jacket that employs stretch panelling in key areas to aid movement. Here it is used across the top of the back and around the lower part of the hood. It really helps with stretching and reaching, and the hood stretch allows it to move with your head when the hood is pulled tight on blustery, showery days ...

Salomon Comet 3D GTX

£135.00

Trail running shoe technology makes these boots incredibly comfortable straight from the box, with a trainer/multi-activity shoe feel to them. The soft upper and soft flexing sole underfoot gives them this added level of initial comfort. With this degree of flex, longevity may be an issue, although they maintained the same level of stiffness throughout the test. While not super-stiff, ...

Salomon Exit 2 Peak 2011

£75.00

The Salomon Exit 2 Peak is a relatively low-priced shoe compared to some options, but you still get reasonable performance. So the upper offers good protection and it should be durable, thanks to the use of minimal mesh and extensive areas of suede leather coupled with not too much stitching. There is an extra synthetic overlay around the toe too. ...

Salomon Comet 3D GTX 2011

£135.00

The Salomon Comet 3D GTX weighs 1308g (pair, size 11); suede and fabric upper; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; instantly comfy due to soft upper; deep lug pattern for grip in mud; rubber toe reinforcement for durability. But soft upper and soft sole flex make it better for valleys, moors and easier hills paths than anything rocky; lack of heel breast means ...

Salomon Minim

£180.00

A very light down jacket, the Minim feels a lot lighter than its actual figures. But it is remarkably warm despite its weight. The lightness is in part due to the Pertex Quantum face-fabric used, as well as an absence of zips on pockets and other bulk-boosting additions. Only one chest pocket has a zip closure, with two handwarmer pockets ...

Salomon Wayfarer 2011

£75.00

The Salomon Wayfarer trousers weigh 356g (size men’s L); Actilite four-way stretch fabric; two zipped hip pockets; zipped thigh pocket; zipped seat pocket; belt loops and Velcro adjustment; articulated knees. But not very warm so only suitable for summer; no ankle cuff adjustment; generally wider fit than other trousers.

Salomon Revo 35

£100.00

The mesh back system has a deep lateral curve that helps pull the load on to your back, but reduces venting a little – although not enough to be a major problem. It’s the only pack to use a side zip as a secondary opening for the main compartment, which isn’t as effective as it could be. You have to ...

Salomon Minim Down 2011

£180.00

The Salomon Minim Down weighs 404g (men’s L); 90/10 down; Pertex Quantum outer; two hip pockets; large chest pocket that jacket stuffs into; ideal as a spring to autumn backup. But no hood; compared to others this is not very warm, so limited to warmer conditions; no cuff adjustment; hip pockets not zipped.

Salomon XT Speed 2010

£100.00

The Salomon XT Speed multi-activity jacket weighs 268g (size L); ClimaPro Stretch fabric is very stretchy; small chest pocket; reflective material on one shoulder; ideal for running and events when hoods won’t be needed. But no hood, so of limited use; only one small pocket so limited cargo options and no handwarming opportunity.

Salomon Tracks/Tiana 2010

£180.00

The Salomon Tracks/Tiana weighs 332g (size L); Gore-Tex Paclite fabric; longer body than some options; excellent movement in sleeves; two hip pockets. But hip pocket access is easily obscured by rucksack belts; hood is not as good as the best here; Paclite is not ideal for controlling condensation.

The Salomon Quest Zip Off Pants weigh 404g; quick-drying 2-way stretch nylon; belt loops; two map-sized hip pockets; two map-width zipped thigh pockets; one zipped seat pocket. But no calf zip to ease removal of lower leg; no ankle cuff adjustment.

Salomon Tracks GTX

£100.00

A fairly light shoe that’s at its best on easier surfaces and good paths. It’s well-padded and very comfortable from the box, but the lacing doesn’t extend far down the foot and this, combined with a quite flexible midsole, made it difficult to get a really stable fit on steeper ground. A Gore-Tex liner kept water out well, and the ...

Salamon Tiana Paclite

£180.00

Cut just long enough to cover the hips, the Tiana’s body and arms have a flattering, slimline shape. It’s made from Gore-Tex Paclite fabric which is waterproof and fairly breathable, with mesh-lined pockets for a welcome flow of air. The collar is on the small side, so it doesn’t sit well over a mid-layer, and it would also benefit from ...

Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX 2010

£160.00

The Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX weighs 1456g (pair, size 11); synthetic upper with Gore-Tex waterproof lining; supportive heel cup and ankle cuff; well-cushioned underfoot; very good sole stiffness for a variety of terrain. But soft toe box; upper may not be as durable as leather designs; high price for what you get.

Salomon Tiana GTX 2010

£100.00

The Salomon Tiana GTX weighs 616g (pair, size 5); Gore-Tex waterproof lining; mesh and suede upper; reasonable toe protection. But outsole is not very stiff so you can feel rocky ground through the sole; outsole lug pattern is relatively shallow, so others offer better grip.

Salomon Azimuth

£120.00

An incredibly lightweight and comfortable jacket in a really sporty design. The Azimuth has a lovely contoured fit and a high, snug collar. The sizing is quite small. Elastic cuffs pull up easily, and the lightweight fabric and articulated elbows make it very easy to move around in. However it’s probably better suited to high intensity activities like cycling or ...

Salomon Merino II Zip Tech Tee 2009

£60.00

The Salomon Merino II Zip Tech Tee base layer weighs 159g (men’s S); closer fit; merino wool aids warmth, giving the best of both worlds in theory; good cuffs and close-fitting collar; very comfortable against skin; wicks well; light; quick-drying. But zip a bit short; shortish sleeves and hem; only 20% merino, so name could mislead; pricy. (01276) 404860; www.salomonsports.com

Salomon Minim Paclite

£180.00

The Minim is an incredibly lightweight Gore-Tex Paclite jacket that offers no bells and whistles to save grammes and minimise the pack-down size. It has only a single chest pocket – not big enough for a map – but it does have an excellent hood, with plenty of adjustment but sadly no stiffening in the peak. It also has Velcro ...

Salomon Quest 4D GTX

£130.00

A well-padded boot that feels great from the box. It’s quite a chunky boot, with a very high ankle cuff, but it’s not too heavy, and the lacing is excellent, making it really easy to get a stable fit. It struggled a little for grip in softer conditions, but it did well on rock. It has an excellent toe box ...

The Exit Sport has a stylish upper with suede leather overlaying textile that hides a Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining to keep your feet dry. The toe is reasonably stiff for better foot protection when walking on rocky terrain. The heel cup is very ...

Salomon Quest 4D GTX 2009

Take a good look at the new Salomon Quest 4D GTX 3-season boot and you’ll recognise the outsole, which is a development of Salomon’s trail running outsole. It gives this boot an excellent ride that takes the wearer close to the ground with a good level of cushioning and stiffness to protect from the pounding. There is a good depth ...

Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX 2009

£145.00

My first boots on Trail were a pair of Salomon X-Adventure 7s. Back in 2001 everyone seemed to have them, and I loved mine. So I was excited to see Salomon’s Cosmic 4D GTX: a vibrant red fabric boot that’s clearly a step away from my old leather X-Adventures. But forget the colour: the real excitement is located in the ...
