The North Face Venture (2012)

£110.00

To increase its green credentials, the main fabric in the The North Face Venture uses 50 per cent castor oil rather than 100 per cent petroleum in its membrane, thus reducing its environmental impact. The fabric does not control condensation quite as well as higher-priced jackets, though. The jacket weighs little and packs down into one of its pockets. The ...

The North Face Super Zephyrus (2012)

£160.00

More of a hybrid than a true insulating number, the The North Face Super Zephyrus falls somewhere between a mid layer and an insulated jacket. It features a combination of Polartec Powerstretch panels and sections of PrimaLoft insulation. Because of this it’s obviously much thinner than the others on test, but then it is meant to sit closer to your ...

The North Face Diez (2012)

£230.00

This is a classic down mid-layer-style of jacket. There’s no hood so it won’t keep your head warm, but it does mean the down is less likely to get wet in a wintry shower. It has a shortish cut, built to fit under a shell layer. The lightweight Pertex shell fabric offers some water resistance, although it can’t be relied ...

£60.00

The presence of The North Face’s distinctive decal on these trousers (the lowest-priced here) certainly ups the cred – and the expectations. At 210g, the Venture trousers are certainly light: made of seam-sealed 2.5 layer HyVent DT fabric (the ‘point five’ refers to a microgrid print layer on the inner, which separates the fabric from the skin and increases airflow), ...

The North Face Stretch Diad

£175.00

A slight variation on the standard waterproof, the Stretch Diad, as its name suggests, uses a stretchy fabric that really helps the jacket to move with you when you reach up or out. This in turn allows you to choose quite a snug-fitting size that remains comfortable and helps force out sweat vapour. It’s designed for fast and light outdoor ...

The North Face Cipher

£140.00

A very lightweight soft shell with no fleece lining, the Cipher feels more like a windshirt than a mid-layer. The fit is quite relaxed, with stretchy, forgiving Gore Windstopper fabric that is very easy to move around in. The fit at the cuffs and hem relies on elastic, which keeps adjustment simple and saves weight, but won’t fit everyone. There’s ...
