Regatta Baxter (2012)

£30.00

This is a lighter-weight fleece than many out there, using a thinner grade of material that also makes it one of the least expensive too. The downside is a lack of insulation. This really only provides warmth as part of a layering system. It is designed to zip into a corresponding shell jacket. A drawcord around the hem helps to ...

Regatta Adventure Tech 35 (2011)

£50.00

A basic-looking pack with all the usual features you would hope to find on a 35-litre pack, but at a more reasonable price. You get a suspended mesh back system, hydration pack-compatibility, a rain cover and somewhere to store your poles. What does suffer, however, is a little reassurance in the quality stakes. The fabric used does feel noticeably thinner ...

Blacks Alpine 30+5 (2011)

£35.00

No award-winner but a fairly capable pack for the price. There are a few technical features that you’d expect to find in a decent walking pack, albeit not quite as well executed as on more expensive bags. A padded back system does boost comfort and keep the load tight to your back, but has no venting at all which does ...

Golite Malpais Trinity

£180.00

An incredibly lightweight jacket and something that’s better suited to warmer weather use, with its incredible packability and great windproofing. The Trinity membrane which provides waterproofing and breathability works well enough in most conditions and does have a bit of a ruffled scrim layer on the inside to help draw moisture away. It works reasonably well, although the very thin ...

Patagonia Torrentshell Parka

£140.00

A lighter weight, and therefore more reasonably priced jacket here. Although lighter, the face fabric does have Ripstop properties to boost resilience, and it coped well enough with a few scrapes and bumps. The lower price point also means that there is no membrane waterproofing. Instead the H2No coating does the breathable/waterproof job, and as a result it can get ...

Regatta Cordite 3-in-1

£170.00

Two jackets for the price of one with this – a shell jacket outer and a removable insulated liner. The removable liner makes it a good bet for casual walks on colder days, when you don’t want to be weighed down by a lot of kit. In use the jacket is fine for general walking use, albeit pretty warm when ...

Rohan Cloudcover

£145.00

A roomy and comfortable jacket that’s cut long to keep your hips dry, although the arms are rather short. It’s quite a smart-looking jacket, made from soft polyester fabric that’s easy to move around in. There’s plenty of space in the hood to bury your head into, with adjustment at the side and back and a large stiffened peak. You ...

Peter Storm Skiddaw II

£65.00

Very soft, full-grain leather boots that will only really suit women with wide feet as they are very wide across the toes. They’ve got a soft yet supportive ankle cuff, and although the tongue may feel harsh at first, it soon softens with wear. Disappointingly, the lacing system is a bit fiddly, making it difficult to get enough tension across ...

Montane Slipstream Gilet 2011

£45.00

At a minuscule 80g (size M), the Montane Slipstream Gilet packs down to the size of a golf ball and claims to be the world’s lightest core body protection. It feels almost weightless – but the Pertex Quantum fabric that makes up most of the gilet is windproof and water-repellent, making this a useful extra layer in blowy conditions. Dryactive ...

Eurohike Pathfinder 20

£24.00

This is a pack designed in a classical way. It’s not exactly NASA in its technicality, more straightforward and dependable, and as such not particularly exciting. The fabric used is fairly hard-wearing and will survive a few scrapes without any discernable damage. In wet weather you will need to make sure your kit is waterproofed inside. There is a rain ...

Regatta Magnitude III

£40.00

An inexpensive jacket, the Magnitude III is as classic an example of a cagoule as you’re likely to see. In use, perhaps not surprisingly, it’s not the most technical, although it is one of the few to come with a mesh-lined inner to help the outer fabric absorb condensed moisture. The face fabric is not that effective when it comes ...

Craghoppers Endurance Lite

£78.00

Quite heavy at 350g, and the Endurance Lite fabric is also very noisy to walk in, with an old-school plastic mac feel. It keeps rain out, although the fabric doesn’t breathe well, so watch out for condensation build up on the inside. However, it’s got a great storm flap, with a wide strip of fabric covering the main zip, secured ...

Tog24 Halo

£75.00

The Halo is rather heavy for a lightweight waterproof, but very reasonably priced at £75. Most of the added weight comes from the heavy nylon fabric, which is lined with polyester throughout to help it breathe. It does a good job of keeping out a shower, but will wet-out eventually so it’s not ideal for long, rainy days in the ...

Snugpak Elite Proximity

£70.00

Relatively new to the world of outdoor clothing, this is a brand new model for Snugpak. It’s a fairly standard looking jacket and the cut isn’t quite so athletic as some tested, so you could wear it to the pub – if you’re the sort of person happy to sup a pint in an orange jacket. The brushed, slightly fleecy ...

Regatta Airbrake

£56.00

The Airbrake doesn’t immediately feel like a standard soft shell, with a face fabric that, although plenty stretchy enough, has a hardness to it and is quite noisy when you move. The shiny surface did give it a little extra waterproofing, at least for the test duration over a few damp, misty mornings, and it also makes it a little ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Sonoma WPi

£90.00

The Sonoma were a little stiffer than anticipated when first on, with an oddly rigid tongue, but after a short distance they softened up. The front of the sole is particularly flexible, allowing a natural foot flex and a pleasant gait, and the midsole still provides enough support. Good levels of shock absorption do make a difference on road sections ...

Regatta Apocalypse Mid

£70.00

Generous sizing and very soft uppers make the Apocalypse Mid feel comfortable straight from the box, albeit rather like a pair of loose slippers. They’re unique in this selection because the uppers are made from a soft shell fabric. Coupled with a waterproof lining, this helps them stay waterproof, but also makes them feel rather lacking in support. The fairly ...

Columbia Shastalavista 2011

£75.00

The Columbia Shastalavista weighs 984g (pair, size 11); mesh upper for exceptional breathability; great sole unit with good lugs for mud; good cushioning; good stiffness for general walking; good for dry travel. But no waterproof lining; not the best shoe for running as a little too ‘clumpy’; mesh upper not so durable for rockier ground.

Teva Churn 2011

£67.00

The Teva Churn weighs 584g (pair, size 9); mesh upper and drainage holes allow water out easily; very low-profile, stable platform; well-cushioned; fold-down heel converts shoe to a slide-on shoe; perfect for use in watersports. But away from water has very limited use; sole lugs very shallow so only good in water; upper allows water in easily.

Helly Hansen Trackfinder 2011

£71.00

The Helly Hansen Trackfinder weighs 828g (pair, size 11); extremely breathable mesh upper; sole has good, deep lugs for grip in mud; good stiffness in sole for paths; good cushioning. But toe box offers very little protection; no waterproof lining limits use of shoe; once water enters it cannot easily escape as no drainage ports near base of sides.

Rohan Lapka Tech 2011

£125.00

The Rohan Lapka Tech weighs 1416g (pair, size 11); synthetic and suede upper; Barricade waterproof lining; very aggressive Vibram outsole lug pattern for mud; good sole stiffness for rocky ground; solid toe box for protection. But boots with less mesh and stitching will be more durable; this is the Brasher Lithium rebranded, so it may suffer from the same durability ...

But very soft sole flex detracts from performance on rockier ground; upper is quite soft and may not ...

Dare 2 B Body Base Layer T

£30.00

This base-layer fits like a kind of compression top, and as such sits remarkably tightly against the body, with the fabric sitting like a second skin, stretching as you move. It does mean that unless you’re as lean as a middleweight boxer you’re unlikely to want to be seen wearing it on its own in the pub, as it does ...

Technicals Lined Venture 2011

£35.00

The Technicals Lined Venture mountain trousers weigh 436g (size men’s L); polycotton fabric with antibacterial treatment; fleece-lined for extra insulation. But no stretch, which leads to restricted movement; slower-drying than higher-priced options; less water-resistant and abrasion-resistant than high priced options; no ankle cuff adjustment; too warm for summer.
