Lowe Alpine Edge 22XL

£40.00

This lower-priced pack from Lowe Alpine may not have a fancy back system or ribbons of straps dangling from the back, but what it does have is a solid build construction along with a clean enough design, making it practical for day-to-day use as well as more outdoor activities. On a recent recent trip to Turkey is was at home ...

Lowe Alpine Full Weight Dryflo Zipneck

£40.00

Relaxed styling and a fairly short, active cut makes this a great choice for days when you might wear a base-layer on its own. The Dryflo fabric is fairly heavy-duty, with a soft, warm inner lining and smooth outer. Its best feature is its moisture management: it really does help to keep your skin dry, even when you’re working hard. ...

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 Colorado Capri 2010

£40.00

Lowe Alpine’s Colorado Capris are trousers I’d actually be happy to wear out. They are already 3/4 length and there’s a nice stitching design around the pockets to make them a little more stylish. They are UV protection rated at UPF50 and they are easy to wash, quick to dry and adjustable at the waist. Pockets with mesh linings aid ...

Lowe Alpine Capricorn Shirt 2010

£45.00

With the Lowe Alpine Capricorn Shirt, European design sensibilities have led here to deliver a more cheerful design. It comes with an ultra-violet protection factor of 40, and promises to be easy to wash and dry. It has a zipped pocket at the chest and straps to shorten the sleeves to mid-bicep. No venting make this of limited appeal for ...

Lowe Alpine Aruba Shirt 2010

£35.00

The Lowe Alpine Aruba Shirt is a surprisingly pretty top in a good technical fabric that is comfortable, and easy to clean and dry. There’s a passport-sized pocket at the chest with a secure zip, but this probably isn’t where you’d want to stash your travel documents. No venting areas, but it should perform well in all but the hottest ...

Lowe Alpine Lightweight Dryflo Zipneck base layer

£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. It also dries quickly, so clamminess is never a problem, even when resting after a long ascent. It feels nice against the skin, but ...

Lowe Alpine Lightweight DryFlo Zipneck 2009

£30.00

Lowe Alpine has excelled at producing base layers for many years, and the Lightweight Dryflo Zipneck is a fine exponent of this high quality. It’s exceptionally good at wicking away sweat, utilising different grades of polyester weave on the inside and outside of the fabric to draw moisture to the outside surface. The garment has an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) ...

LOWE ALPINE LIGHTWEIGHT DRYFLO ZIP-NECK

£30.00

Review: The Dryflo fabric is wonderfully soft and stretchy, making it a real pleasure to wear. With a high neck, which provided plenty of warmth, and a deep zip to help cool down, the Dryflo proved very versatile. A little smellier than some, though.  VITAL STATSColours: Deep navy, black, whiteSizes: S-XXLFabric: Lightweight DryfloWomen’s version: YesContact: 01539 740840, www.lowealpine.com

Lowe Alpine Hot Grip 2009

£45.00

There’s a Hipora waterproof lining in the Lowe Alpine Hot Grip to guarantee dry hands, while Loweloft 100g insulation keeps you warm. The wrist has elastication and there’s a cuff drawcord for close fit. Some padding on the knuckles is ideal for climbing and scrambling, while a leather palm adds durability. Neat additions include a wrist leash and nose wipe. ...

Lowe Alpine Mountain Gaiters

£30.00

Went over the boot easily and sat just above the calf, meaning it didn’t need to be too tight. Lovely and light, but the Velcro-only fastening needs care to get it spot on. Good waterproofness, but less breathable than some. Contact: 01539 740840, www.lowealpine.com

Lowe Alpine Airzone 25

£45.00

The Lowe Alpine Airzone 25 unisex rucksack has a great back system and we really like its hip fins, which are light and comfy yet grip like limpets! The Lowe Alpine Airzone 25 has mesh shoulder straps also help to make this a really comfortable pack. The small lid pocket and a hydration pocket seem too low. With no compression ...

Lowe Alpine Dryflo Crew

£20.00

This is a great value-for-money T-shirt that has a very easy fit. It comes with an ultra-violet protection factor of 50, which blocks 97.5 per cent of harmful UV rays. And to prevent the dreaded build-up of body stink it features a HealthGuard treatment.  It was rated as ‘Best value’ in our test.

Lowe Alpine Traveller Shorts

£30.00

With a sun protection factor of UPF 50 (great for the bits they cover) and a faff-free design, this is a robust pair of shorts. Not as light as others we looked at, the extra weight comes from an elasticated waist and two zipped, secure pockets. They’re very comfy and a popular favourite. (Women’s High Trail shorts also available.)Made in ...

Lowe Alpine Manali Zipneck

£40.00

A little tight and rather short at the hem, too. The collar was snug and high, though, and the fleece cuffs fitted well enough with plenty of stretch in them when needed. The lightweight Aleutian fleece fabric proved lovely and stretchy and the neck zip is about the perfect length, but didn’t provide as much insulation as some. A lot ...

Lowe Alpine Kit Bag 70

£40.00

This kit bag has a simple layout comprising of a central lockable zip entry to the main compartment and a pair of oversized handles to allow this to be worn as a backpack. At only 930g it is a very light bag, yet it offers excellent puncture resistance. You don’t get a shoulder strap, though, or any internal compartments.   ...

Lowe Alpine Lightweight DryFlo Bra

£20.00

The most simple designs are often the best. The closed seam darts of this racer back sports bra, which cup the breasts, and a wide stretchy chest strap, provide comfortable shaped support for walking and more. The front is opaque and the design is definitely crop-top rather than bra, allowing it to be worn as a top, plus it has ...

Lowe Alpine Hot Grip

£40.00

This winter glove offers everything most hill-walkers will want if they prefer a built-in liner rather than a removable liner. The Hot Grip benefits from a very durable palm made from leather that looks ideal for withstanding the rigours of scrambling and roped climbing. The back of the hand and fingers is protected with cushioning to resist knocks when ice ...

Lowe Alpine Contour Runner 25

£45.00

This daysack from Lowe Alpine is a simple design that doesn’t keep you as cool and dry as the best in class. The moulded, channelled back system is very comfortable though, and the simple webbing straps work well, even if they are pretty basic. It’s a no-thrills design that really does cut it in the hills. Compression straps tweak the ...

Lowe Alpine Micro Grid

£40.00

This lightweight fleece from Lowe Alpine was a snug fit next to the skin, but a little tight when worn over a lighter base- layer. The collar is a good height and fit, and the elasticated cuffs were easy to pull up and didn’t go baggy. This is a basic top with a medium-length zip and no pockets. The Aleutian ...

Lowe Alpine Mintaka Air ND 25

£49.00

The back system on this 25-litre rucksack from Lowe Alpine has been redesigned and works really well to keep your back cool, although it is slightly less comfortable than the old, more padded one. However, the harness fits really well and the contoured shoulder straps sit comfortably, even with a full load. The lightweight and simple design of this pack ...

Lowe Alpine Walkabout Air 25

£49.00

This 25-litre daysack from Lowe Alpine is a good-fitting rucksack, and the new Pure Air Zone back system is both comfortable and cool. The shoulder straps are well contoured and padded, and the plain webbing hip belt works fine, despite looking a little basic. The back system offers much of the cooling of the concave airflow systems, but holds the ...
