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 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 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 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 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 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 Explorer Ridge 2011

£120.00

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. DesignThe Berghaus Explorer Ridge is primarily ...

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 ...

Berghaus Prognosis GTX 2011

£90.00

The Berghaus Prognosis GTX weighs 704g (pair, size 8); suede, mesh and synthetic upper with Gore-Tex waterproof lining; Vibram sole unit with fair lug pattern; lightweight so good for fast and light activity. But upper is less supportive and durable than some others, so less suitable for rough terrain; toe box area is not as protective as others; outsole is ...

Berghaus Tarazed GTX 2011

£140.00

The Berghaus Tarazed GTX is a new boot that involves a collaboration between Vibram and Berghaus to create the unique Opti-Stud sole unit. This sole has widely spaced deep studs that appear ideal for getting a grip in mud as well as resisting clogging. There is a good heel breast too for braking power downhill plus good stiffness for rockier ...

Berghaus Chulu II

£90.00

The Chulu is a synthetic insulated top, with a midweight fill made from 50% recycled materials. The cut is fairly simple with no hood, and only a slight drop at the rear to cover your backside as you move. The medium-weight insulation gives it versatility, allowing it to be used as a windproof insulating outer layer, or a mid-layer under ...

Berghaus Freeflow 40

£90.00

H-shaped back system is good with a reduced contact area. It does make it a little wider than some of the others on test, though. The system also has a reduced curve that helps keep the centre of gravity forward. Perforated shoulder straps might look a bit NASA but they do a decent job of letting air in. The hip ...

Berghaus Blencathra

£100.00

A walking-specific jacket, with a reasonable price tag and plenty of useful features, including the ability to zip in a fleece. The fabric is softer than that of the more technical jackets although not necessarily quieter, and it did perform well against the wind and rain in general use. The traditional cut of the fabric isn’t so well fitted with ...

Berghaus Explorer Ridge

£110.00

The Explorer Ridge is perfect for UK hillwalking. At only 950g per pair, they’re very lightweight, making them suitable for mid to low-level terrain. The ankle cuffs are lower than some, and a fairly flexible midsole helps them stay feeling lightweight and comfortable all day. An excellent pulley lacing system means you can get a secure yet unobtrusive fit across ...

Berghaus Teton

£170.00

This is a technical looking jacket with Gore Windstopper fabric giving the Teton great weatherproofing. Inside, the fleece lining is warm and could almost be mistaken for animal fur with its longer pile. Although there is a great feel to the fabric, there is not as much stretch as in many others. Also, the number of zips on it means ...

Berghaus Paclite 2010

£150.00

The Berghaus Paclite multi-activity jacket has been popular for many years. The material is Gore-Tex Paclite, which has the benefit of being very packable and lightweight as the name suggests. The jacket has a good set of essential features. Firstly the fit is comfortably close while the freedom of movement in the sleeves is superb. The tail is extended for ...

Berghaus Dru 2010

£200.00

Designed as a lightweight Alpine jacket, there are stretch panels of Gore-Tex Paclite used down the sides of the Berghaus Dru as well as down the sleeves to allow a closer fit without restricting movement. Standard Paclite is used elsewhere. The result is a very lightweight jacket but there are also lots of features here to make the Dru practical ...

Berghaus has long been associated with making practical waterproofs for the hillgoer. The brand produces both technical waterproof trousers for the mountaineer as well as more down-to-earth rainwear for the hill-walker. The Deluge boasts very long side zips, which makes it instantly attractive to anyone that struggles to fit overtrousers over their boots. DesignThe most important feature on the Berghaus ...

Berghaus Explorer Trail Low GTX

£85.00

A comfortable, pretty full-on shoe that pushed the top two quite hard. It’s quite heavy compared to some, but this translates into protection and support on rough ground. The fit is quite neutral, meaning it should suit most feet, but the lacing doesn’t extend very low at the toe, and this adversely affected stability on steep descents. The midsole is ...
