Lowe Alpine Nanon ND 50:60 (2012)

£135.00

Though the Lowe Alpine Nanon ND 50:60 only has a single main compartment (as opposed to two) it certainly makes up for it with a massive front section that can take a whole wedge of extra kit if required. With two stretchy side panels and adjustable straps to make it go even further, it’s the perfect space to cram your ...

Lowe Alpine Nanon 40:45 2011

£140.00

The Lowe Alpine Nanon 40:45 weighs in at just 1320g but it’s packed with more features than most rucksacks here.

Lowe Alpine Airzone ND32

£65.00

Although designed for women, it is best-suited to more petite ladies, with its shorter back and overall shape. The shoulder straps are a lot thinner than those on the men’s variant and can dig in when the pack is loaded. The hip straps are great, with the split design helping to grip. The back system is excellent, with its light ...

Lowe Alpine Omni Lite

£80.00

A classic soft shell, the Omni Lite delivers top-class performance in a stripped-back design. There aren’t too many pockets or fussy details to get in the way of the fabric’s great breathability and windproofing. Pound for pound it’s one of the best-performing fabrics out there – definitely one of the stretchiest and a strong contender for lightest. The weatherproofing feels ...

Lowe Alpine Flash 2010

£200.00

Lowe Alpine’s Triplepoint Dynamic appeared in the autumn of 2009, and now it is pretty well-established as a great fabric. It has antimicrobial properties too, therefore it should not get so smelly when left damp in a rucksack. It is also very soft and flexible. But the real bonus of the Lowe Alpine Flash is the price, as this makes ...

£90.00

The Velocity multi-activity jacket makes use of Lowe Alpine 2.5-layer Triplepoint fabric, which is rated as very waterproof and very breathable. The style is short, which is ideal for running and biking, while the double stormflap over the front zip helps to lock out driving rain – and this is a feature that very few jackets have these days. The ...

Lowe Alpine Mtn Gaiter 2010

£30.00

Much like the Berghaus GTX Gaiters, the Lowe Alpine Mtn Gaiters have the more modern tapered design to give as close a fit as possible – however these are cut slightly more generously. The Velcro front fastening with a press stud keeps them firmly in place once fitted, and securing the lace hook to my boots presented no problems. I ...

Lowe Alpine Quantum 2010

£160.00

The Lowe Alpine Quantum is the least wind-resistant garment here, which means it allows air to pass through easily so it’s ideal when wearing a soft shell under a waterproof hard shell. DesignThe green fabric used in the Lowe Alpine Quantum is Polartec Powershield, but compared to other jackets that use this fabric it is far less wind-resistant, which means ...

Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pant 2010

£60.00

The Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pants have a broad range of great features.

Lowe Alpine Omega 2010

£60.00

The Omegas are quite heavy due to a mesh lining, but this aids breathability, adds a bit of insulation, and even makes them comfortable enough to wear against the skin. The waistband is elastic with a drawcord, and they come in three leg lengths. The three-quarter length leg-zips make them easy to slip on over your boots. And the zips ...

£30.00

This light to midweight top offers a fairly comfortable fit and superb moisture management. The polyester fabric is just about warm enough to wear on its own in less demanding conditions and it offers excellent wicking.
