Rab Stretch Neo

Rab’s first jacket to use Polartec’s all-new Neoshell membrane. It’s this element that is really key to the jacket’s uniqueness. It claims to be much more breathable than other membrane equivalents. In use that certainly seems to be the case, and even on hard ascents on cold days there was no trace of condensation. Aside from the stretch fabric, this ...

Meindl Kansas Lady GTX

A great-looking boot made from tough, nubuck leather. The fit is really supportive – they’ve got a good women’s last that holds the foot in place and a high ankle cuff to protect from knocks and sprains. They’ve also got a great lacing system which uses a locking eyelet so you can get a comfortable fit right across your foot. ...

Páramo Cascada Trousers 2011

£115.00

Páramo is unconventional in its approach to waterproofing. Shunning membranes, it utilises Nikwax Analogy fabric, which mimics the action of animal fur. The outer fabric is only water-resistant, but a unique ‘pump’ layer pushes water back out of the fabric, ditto condensation. Apart from this well-proven system, the Páramo Cascada Trousers have two boons: they’re soft, which makes them both ...

Rohan Dry Ascent / Dry Roamers 2011

£100.00

The Rohan Dry Ascent / Dry Roamers trousers prefer their waterproofing to be a little more covert. Rohan amusingly describes the Dry Ascent as ‘waterproof trousers for people who hate wearing waterproof overtrousers’, and that’s about the size of it. The face fabric has one of those ‘it’s not really waterproof, is it?’ feels. The secret is Rohan’s Barricade, a ...

The North Face Venture 2011

£60.00

The presence of The North Face’s distinctive decal on these trousers (the lowest-priced here) certainly ups the cred – and the expectations. At 210g, the Venture trousers are certainly light: made of seam-sealed 2.5 layer HyVent DT fabric (the ‘point five’ refers to a microgrid print layer on the inner, which separates the fabric from the skin and increases airflow), ...

Rab Generator Vest 2011

£75.00

A gilet that packs away into its own inner pocket and can be used as a camping pillow? You’ve got to admit that’s pretty cool. The Rab Generator Vest uses synthetic Primaloft to deliver damp-proof insulation. It doesn’t quite pack the warmth-per-gram punch of down, but it does hold up much better against our typical British mountain weather conditions. The ...

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 ...

Mountain Equipment Orion Vest 2011

£70.00

The first thing that’s apparent about the Mountain Equipment Orion Vest is its rugged durability. The fabric is EXOlite II, which is hard-wearing as well as having four-way stretch for freedom of movement. It was one of the most water-resistant gilets in our test, and would certainly see off intermittent showers on the hill, as well as providing a breathable ...

Finisterre Anabatic MkII 2010

The Finisterre Anabatic MkII is a new jacket that is extremely exciting for a number of reasons. Firstly this is a UK brand based in Cornwall that is clearly making good inroads into the outdoor market. Second the jacket is made from part recycled and 100 per cent recyclable material, unlike some other products. Thirdly this is a great design! ...

Vasque Breeze GTX 2010

The Vasque Breeze GTX weighs 1100g (pair, size 11); Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining; open mesh upper panels for more breathability; very aggressive Vibram outsole lug pattern for mud; good sole stiffness for rocky ground. But upper is very soft and flexible, including toe box and heel cup; boots with less mesh and stitching will be more durable.

Kathmandu Batangsi 2010

£50.00

Kathmandu is relatively new to the UK but it’s very good for travel gear. Their Batangsi pants are the only trousers we’ve seen that have the option of 3/4 length or full zip-off legs. The zip, however, could rub and cause problems if you have larger thighs. There are lots of pockets on offer, and the material wicks effectively to ...

Merrell Belay 2010

£50.00

Merrell’s Belay trousers come with plenty of stretch, making them very comfortable, if not a little reminiscent of a pair of jodhpurs. These are very practical and technical enough for a day out on the hill. With a UV protection factor (UPF) of 50 these are made for hot weather, and as they are breathable and quick-wicking you shouldn’t be ...

The North Face Horizon Utility 2010

£45.00

The North Face’s Horizon Utility pants were one of my favourite pairs of trousers that can be rolled up to 3/4 length, and they easily compete on style with the best in our review. The material is very cool and easy to wash and dry quickly, and there’s one zipped pocket for securely stashing anything you don’t want to lose. ...

Craghoppers Nosi Safari 2010

£45.00

The Craghoppers Nosi Safari trousers felt loose and baggy – not the kind of thing I’d want to wear walking. But they do have plenty of technical features to warrant investing in them. They convert into shorts and there are zips at the ankles to get them on over your boots. They keep the mozzies away too and they have ...

Regatta Geo Tech 2010

£30.00

Regatta’s Geo Tech trousers are a good option for dedicated walkers, with articulated knees to aid freedom of movement and the option to zip off the legs. I noticed a bit of rubbing from the zip at the leg so it’s worth bearing this in mind when you try them on. There is a double lining around the rear: good ...

Páramo Azuma Active Pants 2010

£51.00

Made with material that’s easy to wash and dry, Páramo’s Azuma Active Pants are very practical trousers with extra venting at the thigh, and adjustable ankle closures. There’s a good belt and zipped pockets. Great for long days walking in hot countries, but not as flattering as others we looked at. Review by Clare SavageFirst published in Trail magazine April ...

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 ...

Haglöfs Lite Q Trail Pant 2010

Haglöfs’ Lite Q Trail Pants aren’t convertible trousers but they do have adjusters at the ankle. There are two zipped pockets at the back with mesh lining – useful for extra venting. As part of Haglöfs’ Climatic range these are easy to wash and dry, exceptionally comfortable and easily technical enough for long day walks. Review by Clare SavageFirst published ...

Royal Robbins Zip n Go Pant 2010

£50.00

The Royal Robbins Zip n Go Pants were initially very comfy, but it didn’t take long to feel the zip for these convertible trousers rubbing against my leg – and I’m not sure how this would be after a long day in the hills. Zip-off legs with Velcro fasteners at the bottom make them easy to get on and off ...

Vaude Farley Pants 2010

Vaude’s Farley Pants are 100 per cent polyamide, with UV protection and mosquito repellent (claiming to repel 95 per cent of mozzies even after 20 washes). They turn into 3/4 length trousers and you can cinch in the leg bottoms. An extra zipped pocket on the right thigh is ideal for passports/documents, feels soft to the skin, is light, comfortable ...

Rohan Shimmer Shirt 2010

£45.00

The Rohan Shimmer Shirt is billed as ‘Technology disguised as clothing’, and it certainly is stylish. The material stretches, dries quickly, keeps the sun off and wicks perspiration away, but somehow it feels uncomfortable next to the skin. Try it on first, and if that’s not an issue for you there’s plenty to recommend it: hidden zip pockets, drying loops ...

Golite Wicklow Polo 2010

£40.00

The Golite Wicklow Polo is an exceptionally comfortable top that does suggest a ladies’ golfing event. The cool material feels better able to cope with hot days trekking, and it’s still smart and presentable enough for a night out on the tiles. There’s a small zip pocket hidden away in the seams that could easily foil a would-be pickpocket. Review ...

Mountain Hardwear Ramesa 2010

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 ...
