Marmot Baffin Half-Zip (2012)

£110.00

This is a kind of hybrid style of jacket that offers more warmth than a fleece with a bit of extra waterproofing thrown in. As a pullover style it won’t be to everyone’s taste, and it isn’t the easiest to take off in a hurry. But the thinking is that you shouldn’t need to take it off so often because ...

Salomon Azimuth

£120.00

An incredibly lightweight and comfortable jacket in a really sporty design. The Azimuth has a lovely contoured fit and a high, snug collar. The sizing is quite small. Elastic cuffs pull up easily, and the lightweight fabric and articulated elbows make it very easy to move around in. However it’s probably better suited to high intensity activities like cycling or ...

Smartwool Sport NTS Zip T 2009

£45.00

The Smartwool Sport NTS Zip T base layer is a chunky, semi-ribbed offering made of merino wool. You are getting exceptional value for money. This cut feels more contoured and purposeful than other items in the Smartwool range, with a large zip to provide some much-needed cooling, as this is a warm top. It is highly breathable and being a ...

Montane Dragonfly Shirt 2009

£40.00

Some base layers we looked at were designed to cover a number of activities – including skiing and yachting. But the Montane Dragonfly Shirt has obviously been designed for UK walking. Utilising two grades of Polartec Powerdry fabric, the back and arms get high-wicking fabric while the chest and underarms get a stretchier weave, which is tough and enables excellent ...

Golite Phantom

£150.00

The Phantom is for the true minimalist at only 275g. It’s cut quite short and the fabric is noisy and rather clammy. The Velcro cuffs don’t allow much room for adjustment and are rough against the skin, and there isn’t much of a collar. It has a small fleece chin guard, but the hood isn’t big enough for ladies with ...

Crocs Captiva 2009

£22.00

Crocs are the benchmark of moulded footwear, and these days they’re commonplace at campsites and in bars. The now classic Cayman is the model most often seen, while the new Captiva shows that Crocs makes other models too. The Captiva is a simple open sandal for women. Its pillowed moulded footbed offers extra comfort without losing support, while plenty of ...

Mountain Equipment Graviton Jacket 2009

£140.00

With waterproofs there’s a dilemma: to go for light weight, or comfort and practicality. But is there a top that does it all? The latest offering from Mountain Equipment (ME), the Graviton Jacket, is certainly up for the challenge.Weighing 290g (women’s 12), the Graviton is just 15g heavier than ME’s lightest waterproof (the Particle Jacket) but those few extra grams ...

Haglöfs Lim Ultimate 2008

£150.00

The Haglöfs Lim Ultimate is a modern classic lightweight jacket. The simple design with minimal seams saves a lot of weight, while the slashing of features and the use of Gore Paclite fabric shaves a few more grams. You do get some good features though such as a full-length front zip and a hem drawcord to keep draughts out. There ...

The Mountain Hardwear Quark is an extremely lightweight multi-activity jacket, which naturally makes it ideal for fast and light action. The fabric is incredibly thin Conduit, which is rated as extremely breathable and very waterproof.

Mountain Equipment Particle Pant

£70.00

These are exceptionally lightweight waterproof overtrousers that come with a tiny stuffsack for easy packing in your rucksack. The fabric is very thin, while the articulated knees allow a close but not restrictive fit. Fitting is very easy thanks to a long (83cm) zip which makes putting them on over boots a doddle. There is a drawcord at the hem ...

Haglöfs Storm Pants

£55.00

These waterproof overtrousers are exceptionally lightweight, and the slightly articulated knees allow a close yet not restrictive fit. There is a 99cm long side zip, which makes fitting them over any boots a breeze. I also like the fact that the side zips can be vented from the top, which is very useful when you are overheating but don’t want ...

Mountain Hardwear Cohesion Pant

£80.00

These are a very usable pair of waterproof overtrousers! The waist is not only elasticated, but it also has a belt that (unlike a drawcord) really gives a secure feeling and you don’t worry about it working loose and your trousers ending up round your ankles. This is a unique feature as far as the trousers we looked at go, ...

Sprayway Mountain Rain Pants

£100.00

These waterproof overtrousers have some nice ‘different’ features. They are unusual in having a stuffsack for easy packing. They are constructed from a bombproof, highly breathable fabric. The waist is not only elasticated with an easy-to-use drawcord, but it’s also fleece-lined for extra comfort. They have knee-length side zips which make them easier to get on than those with only ...

Rohan Silver Fleece Zip

£45.00

Getting hot and sweaty tends to result in smelly gear, which is none too pleasant whatever the circumstances. The X-Static silver fibres in this fleece mid layer reduce odour by controlling the growth of bacteria. Apart from that smell advantage, this is a useful top for wearing under other mid layers, as it is a thin and lightweight fleece that ...

Haglöfs Lim Ultimate

£150.00

The lightest jacket in our test by a meaningful amount. The big saving comes from the simple pattern that is free of too many seams, while the use of Gore Paclite fabric offers good weight savings too. The jacket is very simplistic with only the bare essentials to keep you dry. So you get a hem drawcord to keep draughts ...
