Berghaus Bioflex 45 (2012)

£140.00

Prepare yourself for a totally different sensation when walking with this backpack, as Berghaus unleashes its BioFlex technology on the world. This unique back system sees the hipbelt pivot with you as you move, allowing you to bend forward and flex without being encumbered by your load. It does feel odd at first and takes some getting used to – ...

Berghaus Vinson 2012 (2012)

£120.00

The Vinson is made from Berghaus’s AQ2 fabric, which is very soft and flexible. A mesh lining further adds to the comfort provided by this jacket. The fabric doesn’t boast the performance ratings of Gore-Tex Performance Shell for example, as featured in other Berghaus jackets, but it is a good low-priced option. There is slightly more length in this jacket ...

Berghaus Explorer Light GTX (2012)

£100.00

This is a great boot for lower-level walking, offering great comfort levels. The sole unit is fairly soft, and so works well on less challenging terrain. The middling levels of ankle support also make for good comfort levels, but it’s not so great on rougher terrain, especially with the softer upper construction. The fit is fairly relaxed and best-suited to ...

Berghaus GTX Gaiter (2012)

£35.00

As the name suggests, the Berghaus GTX Gaiter is made from Gore-Tex, and it benefits from a nice large area of tougher material around the ankle cuff. It also comes in two leg lengths so there is more chance it will fit you. At the back of the leg is a stretch panel, which should improve the fit further. When ...

Berghaus Mule 40+20 (2012)

£60.00

The Berghaus Mule 40+20 Expandable Kit Bag is the least technical-looking of the bags on test, yet it is able to expand in capacity by 20 litres, making it a particularly versatile choice. It could comfortably function as a hillwalking tool or as a general-purpose bag for travel, gym clothes or work use. The Ardura fabric construction is more supple ...

Berghaus Ignite Hoody (2012)

£130.00

On the surface, the Berghaus Ignite Hoody is very similar to the Montane Flux; however it is slightly heavier (20g more) but feels a little warmer. Like others on test it’s wind- and water-resistant, filled with PrimaLoft insulation and also boasts an adjustable hem cord to get a snug fit around your waist. A draught excluder is fitted behind the ...

Berghaus Freeflow 35+8 (2011)

£80.00

A great pack for all-round walking, with an extra eight litres of expandable capacity for when you need to carry a bit more kit. The Freeflow back system is excellent, with minimal contact across the majority of the back and excellent padding in areas where it’s needed (hips and shoulders). The padding around the waistbelt is solid enough, and extends ...

Berghaus Kibo 2012

£200.00

The Berghaus Kibo has held its price below the competition for a while now, and even this year it is only a tenner up on 2010 while most boots are £15 or £20 higher in price. So in terms of cost it is a winner. The boot itself has an upper based on a mix of fabrics and there is ...

Berghaus Tarazed GTX 2011

£140.00

The Berghaus Tarazed GTX is a remarkable boot in a number of ways. Firstly the price is stunning by modern standards for a 3-4 season model. But it is also very light for this type of boot. For the minimal price and weight you get good performance too, thanks to a stiff, supportive upper to protect the foot on scree ...

Berghaus Explorer Light GTX 2011

£100.00

Boasting a modern design and a Gore-Tex lining for excellent waterproofness and breathability, the Berghaus Explorer Light GTX is, at first glance, an attractive option. The outsole features a lug pattern, which, though not the deepest here, is widely spaced enough to prevent a build-up of mud between them; and an adequate heel breast will ensure you get a good ...

Berghaus Bowscale

£160.00

A 2-layer Gore-Tex jacket suited to lower level walking. The less technical styling does mean that you won’t look like a lost mountain guide when out walking the dog. The face fabric is pleasantly soft and isn’t too noisy. There aren’t any vents to draw away the heat, and so it does tend to be warmer than most. The face ...

Berghaus Attrition 2011

£320.00

The Berghaus Attrition combines Gore-Tex Pro Shell with stretch panels of the fabric in the black areas under the arms to improve freedom of movement when climbing without relying on excess material. The jacket also has an innovative venting chinguard, so you can breathe more easily when the front of the jacket and hood are fully battened down. There’s a ...

Berghaus Explorer Ridge

£125.00

This is more of a two-season boot and as a result is a bit softer than many of the others on test. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, and straight out of the box, the softer flex and ample inside padding make them incredibly comfortable. They sit quite low down and so offer a good amount of feedback from the ...

Berghaus Pitztal

£65.00

Lightweight summer walking trousers with a flattering fit and soft, cool, nylon fabric that glides smoothly over the skin as you walk. There’s a decent amount of stretch in the fabric, so they’re very comfortable to walk in, and the articulated knees add to the easy movement too. The waistband has a soft fleece inner fabric which feels great against ...

Berghaus Extrem Couloir Mountain Pants 2011

£200.00

The Berghaus Extrem Couloir Mountain Pants are serious mountain trouser suitable for the most testing environments. Made of Gore-Tex Pro Shell, they are a far cry from stiff, rustly overtrousers of old; the fabric is soft, supremely comfy and flexible, and Cordura patches on the inside ankle and knees offer good abrasion resistance. The full-length side zip aids taking the ...

Berghaus Freeflow Pro 40 2011

£100.00

Berghaus’ Freeflow range of rucksacks has been popular for many years. The Pro version came out in 2010 and keeps the rucksack closer to the wearer while still allowing air to flow across the back. For extra comfort the shoulder straps and hipbelt are perforated so you’ll get less sweaty. It has two internal compartments, but you can zip away ...

Berghaus Scorch Vest 2011

£75.00

The women’s Berghaus Scorch Vest is made mainly from Polartec Thermal Pro material, which is fleecy and soft to the touch. This fabric claims to trap body heat using lofted (fluffed-up) fibres, and if it’s ultimate cosiness you’re after, then it certainly feels snug to wear. The great advantage of fleece gilets such as the Scorch is that they’re highly ...

Berghaus Freeflow 20

£50.00

A streamlined little pack, with no little straps and fiddly bits to get in the way. On the back it does feel quite small and the length of this particular model is short. There are no compression straps, but the curved design and relatively compact capacity means that they’re not really missed. The back system is an updated version of ...

Berghaus Prognosis

£75.00

New for 2011 these shoes have been designed with multi-function use in mind. As such they are something of a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. Inside there is plenty of room – around the heel and mid-shoe in particular – so better for those with wider feet. These do not have a Gore-Tex lining to them, so in wet ...

Berghaus Ridgeway

£125.00

This top has a semi-athletic fit to it, with long arms and a reasonably tight torso, although there’s a little more room than the most sporty of jackets. The lightweight fabric has a ripstop construction making is pretty durable, although it is a bit noisy. The hood was even more frustrating, never really pulling tight around the face, and the ...

Berghaus Peak 2.1 2011

Berghaus is best-known for its rucksacks and waterproofs, but the company has also designed a range of tents in conjunction with Blacks that are sold exclusively through Blacks stores. The Berghaus Peak 2.1 is a dome design with a large porch. It is not the lightest tent here, but it is certainly the most spacious. DesignDomes are perhaps less popular ...

Berghaus has for many years produced a number of light and well-priced general walking boots that are collectively called the Explorer range. The Explorer Ridge is the leather option, and it comes with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining as well as a very aggressive outsole, so it should be good for a variety of terrain.

It’s only one of two packs here with an adjustable back system and is the only one with traditional zipped side pockets. It’s also the only one under £100. ...

Berghaus Faroe

£100.00

Here’s a very good illustration of what a soft shell should be. Not too bulky, yet with excellent windproofing to help boost warmth that’s further amplified by the slightly velour lining. Tested over some steep contours in an overly wintry Lake District with snow on the ground, it was perfectly at home. As the weather turned wet, using it as ...
