Meindl Burma Pro MFS 2011

£180.00

The Meindl Burma Pro MFS features nubuck leather; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; memory foam; rubber rand for durability; excellent sole unit for general hill-walking; proven performance and frequent Trail’s  ‘Best in Test’ winner. But its weight of 1948g (pair, size 11) is just too heavy by modern standards; the price is too high compared with other options that provide most of ...

North Ridge Tower Event 2011

£180.00

The North Ridge Tower Event weighs 1704g (pair, size 11); full-grain leather upper; eVent waterproof lining; rubber rand around toe; Vibram sole unit with extremely deep lug pattern for grip and durability; good stiffness in sole unit. But upper is quite soft and unsupportive compared to sole; at this price there are some slightly better boots.

Asolo Flame 2010

£150.00

The Asolo Flame is a well-proven synthetic and suede leather boot with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining. What sets this apart from many similar-looking boots is that it combines fairly standard-looking styling with some really important functionality. So it is reasonably lightweight compared to some similar options. The upper is more supportive than most with a solid toe box that has ...

Mammut Mount Trail XT 2009

£160.00

The Mammut (formerly Raichle) Mount Trail XT has been a frequent favourite of Trail’s when provided by the manufacturer as a 3-season boot, and it was ‘Best in Test’ in May 2009. However it has now been submitted by the manufacturer for inclusion in the 3-4 season category. The boot features a solidly built leather upper that is not one ...

Raichle/Mammut Mtn. Trail GTX 2009

£150.00

There is actually very little between this and the Scarpa Trek, but for the same price the Mountain Trail also gets a Gore-Tex lining. This was a Raichle boot, but the brand has been absorbed by Mammut so you may see it badged as either. The boot is based around a simple nubuck leather upper without lots of stitching to ...

Mountain Equipment Lightline

£150.00

This is a very warm duvet jacket, and it’s warmer than most others. It incorporates 250g of down insulation, and the shell is very water-resistant. The collar is also fleeced-lined. There is a little extra reinforcement on the sleeves and shoulders for extra durability. You get a removable hood too, which fitted well and had plenty of insulation. The two ...

Berghaus Cornice/Glissade

£160.00

This is a well-proven general purpose waterproof that is good for hill-walking as well as general travel and walking the dog. It is made from the new Gore-Tex Performance Shell fabric, which has good performance for the price. A wide brushed polyester collar lining adds valuable comfort, as does a mesh lining. This is a longer jacket than most, and ...

Berghaus Paclite Trek

£160.00

The longer length of this lightweight jacket is very appealing, particularly as it is lighter than many longer options! The material is Gore Paclite, which was a very popular lightweight fabric, until Gore Pro Shell came out in late 2007. You get additional abrasion-resistant sections around the hem and shoulders too. Arm movement is superb as the hem and cuffs ...

Asolo Powermatic 500 GV

£150.00

This 3-4 season boot is designed for the British market and based around a simple one-piece upper with a waterproof lining and good sole unit. You get a rubber rand for added protection around the toe too. The lacing extends further down the toes than some for a more precise fit. The ankle support is ideal for tough terrain, yet ...

Scarpa New SL

£155.00

This was the benchmark 3-4 season boot for many years. The current version offers less support to the ankle. In a way this is good as this new ankle certainly allows an easier walking action. The boot is also lighter too. You get the same one-piece leather upper and very aggressive sole unit. That stiff upper is ideal for use ...
