Mountain Hardwear Wandrin 48 (2012)

£130.00

The Mountain Hardwear Wandrin 48 is a rucksack that holds a surprising amount of kit within its two compartments. Long zip tags make it easy to open the lower one, and this can be opened up inside (thanks to a zip) to make one compartment if preferred. An oddly placed rain cover in the top half of the lower compartment ...

Mountain Hardwear Mesa

£50.00

A lightweight, quick-drying pair of trousers. More of a classic walking/travel trouser than some, with no stretch in the fabric. That isn’t necessarily a negative point, as when walking you don’ t necessarily notice the lack of stretch. The fabric is robust and despite sliding off rocks and boulders during the test, there were no real signs of wear. Inside, ...

Mountain Hardwear Stretch Cohesion

£150.00

The Stretch Cohesion is fairly heavy, weighing in at about 350g (women’s medium). It’s made from Ark stretch and Mountain Hardwear’s own Conduit DT fabric, which is fairly breathable, and as the name suggests, the stretchiness in the fabric makes it a great jacket for high-energy activities. The hood is enormous – big enough to accommodate even the bushiest hair ...

Mountain Hardwear Onata

£80.00

This is a slim, athletic style of jacket, that works most effectively when worn on warm, energetic days on the hill and as such isn’t the most versatile of pieces in the test. The lighter weight and thin nature of the top does mean that it works well as a mid-layer, slipping easily under a waterproof shell and wicking sweat ...

Mountain Hardwear Lamina 20 2011

£100.00

The Mountain Hardwear Lamina 20 is one of the lightest sleeping bags on test and, as a result, it packs down small in a good stuffsack. There’s a great two-way zip that doesn’t snag, and a substantial baffle alongside to eliminate cold spots. The hood is big but feels extremely cosy when pulled tight, and both on this and the ...

Mountain Hardwear Epic

£70.00

A very lightweight pair of overtrousers with decent enough levels of breathability and waterproofing. The lightweight fabric and articulated knee shape really boost comfort levels when walking. Unfortunately the fabric is fairly noisy and the baggy fit around the knees does cause them to rub together a fair amount. Putting them on over boots isn’t particularly easy as the zip ...

Mountain Hardwear Android

£90.00

The Android is a midweight top with a satisfying feel to the fabric but not too much stretch. It’s quite thick, erring towards the jacket end of the spectrum, with the extra levels of windproofing and waterproofing that come with it. There is no venting through pit-zips or mesh pockets, so it is definitely better suited to colder days. The ...

Mountain Hardwear Axial 2010

£320.00

The Mountain Hardwear Axial weighs 504g (size L); Gore-Tex Pro Shell; two hip pockets; one chest pocket; pit zips; hood has good fit and movement and stiffened peak; close fit; excellent sleeve movement. But hip pocket access easily obscured by harness or hipbelt; very short body means you’re more likely to need overtrousers; front zip has internal but no external ...

Mountain Hardwear Cohesion 2010

£120.00

The Mountain Hardwear Cohesion multi-activity jacket has come down in price this year from £140 to £120, making it even better value than it was. It is made from Conduit coated fabric, which gives good performance for the price. There is a good length in the body with a slight scooped back for added protection. This, coupled with the relatively ...

Mountain Hardwear Optimo/Celeste 2010

£330.00

The Mountain Hardwear Optimo/Celeste weighs 412g (size M); Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric; two large hip pockets; additional chest pocket; rolldown hood with excellent movement and large wired peak; pit zips. But price tag is high; others are lighter; access to base pockets is not ideal when wearing a rucksack belt; base pockets are mesh so they’re not watertight.

Mountain Hardwear Ascent Stretch Air Perm Gaiter 2010

£50.00

The Mountain Hardwear Ascent Stretch Air Perm Gaiter has a good tapered design, and the women’s version means a good fit; 4-way stretch air-permeable back panel allows airflow on legs; pinless buckle on underboot strap mean less faff. But the fabric is sweatier than some others; urethane boot strap is durable but very hard to adjust (I found it virtually ...

Mountain Hardwear Mesa Pant

£45.00

Made from a lovely, soft, lightweight fabric that is best-suited to warm conditions. The cut is loose, with a baggy, straight-cut leg and a waistband that sits comfortably on the hips. The fabric proved wonderfully breathable, with a good DWR coating to keep them dry. The fabric also has a fast drying time. As a walking trouser, they are let ...

Mountain Hardwear Ravine 2010

£45.00

If you’re looking for a short-sleeved shirt for a walking trip in a hot country the Mountain Hardwear Ravine is the best option. With mesh venting at the back and under the arms it will keep you cool yet still looks sufficiently non-techy to warrant being worn to the bar. Two zipped pockets on the chest add security and a ...

Mountain Hardwear Ramesa 2010

£35.00

Lots of venting on the Mountain Hardwear Ramesa 2010 top makes it an ideal choice for walkers in hot climes: perfect for the trail, and pretty enough to be worn out afterwards. The sleeves, although short, aren’t as high as others. An in-seam zipped pocket gives an extra bit of security and the material is suitably cool, comfortable and easy ...

Mountain Hardwear Argon Ice 2010

£260.00

Aimed at climbers and alpinists, in terms of design the Mountain Hardwear Argon Ice is also ideal for hill-walkers in many ways. It benefits from a curved rear zip so that loo stops can be made without having to drop the trousers. There is also stretch in the gusset and knee. Add in the lowest weight of those tested, and ...

Mountain Hardwear Caraballo 2009

£320.00

The Mountain Hardwear Caraballo is definitely one of the best here if you prefer a slightly shorter design. The jacket is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric, so it benefits from top-of-the-league performance. At 538g the weight is very good and the features are equally attractive. Firstly the main zip gets a double stormflap on the outside to keep the ...

This is a substantial jacket, but it comes at a good price and performs well enough to justify a few extra grammes. The main zip is chunky and tough, with a bomb-proof storm flap, and the hem is relatively long and easily adjustable with drawcords. It comes with excellent pit-zips, Velcro cuffs, and the hip pockets are well-placed and a ...

The Switchback Plus soft shell fabric of the Talus is light, stretchy, and so really easy to move in; and the polyester lining feels lovely and soft against the skin. The waist has some stretch in it and comes with belt loops (but no belt) so this can be easily fine-tuned. The drawcord ankle cuffs do help ensure a good ...
