La Sportiva Boulder X (2013)

£95.00

The La Sportiva Boulder X is designed as an approach shoe with good performance when scrambling on rock. There is additional cushioning underfoot for comfort on longer walk-ins and walk-outs too. The upper is suede leather with lacing extending all the way to the toe, for a more precise fit and feel when climbing. There is good rubber reinforcement, which ...

Salomon X Ultra GTX (2013)

£110.00

Looks are deceptive, as the Salomon X Ultra GTX is far lighter than it appears at first sight and it actually tips the scales at 912g (pair, size 11), which makes it one of the lightest mountain activity shoes we looked at. It has a synthetic upper with a Gore-Tex lining, which also makes it good value, as other shoes ...

Merrell Chameleon 5 GTX (2013)

£120.00

The Merrell Chameleon 5 GTX is a good general-purpose shoe for outdoor activity built around an aggressive sole unit and stylish upper. The upper is made from pig suede with mesh panels and a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, and it benefits from extra stiffness in the heel cup and a rubber rand at the toe. But the toe box is very ...

Mammut Redburn Pro (2013)

£100.00

This is the latest option from Mammut’s well-established Redburn range. With its slightly stiffer sole plus a grippier rubber compound to make it better on rock, the Pro is very much an approach- and climbing- directed design. The upper has leather and synthetic panels that, while not fully waterproof, should keep the worst of the water out. There is good ...

Keen Bryce Low (2013)

£110.00

Keen shoes have unique styling around the forefoot, which tends to be a bit broader than most with a protective roll of rubber over the toe box. In the Bryce Low these features are brought together to form a mountain activity-style shoe with a twist of finesse. The upper is nubuck leather, rather than the thinner suede of other shoes, ...

inov-8 Terroc 330/308 (2013)

£95.00

inov-8 has dominated the ‘fast and light’ market recently, due to its practice of stripping out weight from footwear. The Terroc 330 (men’s)/308 (women’s) has been around in various guises for some years and the latest version sees the mesh upper being replaced by a synthetic non-mesh material, which will keep more water out but won’t be as breathable. The ...

Berghaus Prognosis GTX (2013)

£100.00

The Berghaus Prognosis GTX is updated for 2013 to make it more suitable for a wider range of activities. It weighs just 920g (pair, size 11), so it’s ideal for ‘fast and light’ activity as well as general travel. The upper is mostly mesh with some reinforcement at the toe and heel but there’s not much compared to more robust ...

Boreal Strider (2013)

£145.00

The Boreal Strider is lightweight for a leather boot at 1576g (pair, size 11) and yet it also manages to squeeze in a good range of practical features to make it perform well on the hill. Firstly it has a leather upper that’s virtually stitch-free so it should be pretty durable, as there is almost no stitching to fail or ...

Haglöfs Vertigo II GT (2013)

£130.00

The Haglöfs Vertigo II GT is a well-proven outdoor workhorse that can cope with the toughest of conditions. It has a leather upper and a fabric tongue with minimal stitching to wear out and fail. But also the upper is very stiff and supportive, so you can kick through rubble when approaching crags without fear of damaging your foot or ...

Anatom Q3 (2013)

£145.00

Anatom has released a range of good-value boots over recent years, and the Q3 is designed to deliver ‘mountain performance’. For the mountain you get a good leather upper with minimal stitching that’s wonderfully robust and gives a reassuring feel of support and protection. The toe box is particularly stiff compared to many others we looked at, which is ideal ...

Salewa Mountain Trainer GTX (2013)

£130.00

The Salewa Mountain Trainer GTX is a unique shoe due to its sole, which is specifically designed for climbing via ferrata ladders; but also because it combines the need for a shoe that is ideal for the more technical aspects of climbing with a great performance when approaching the rock over scree or mud. The Vibram sole unit has very ...

Salomon Comet 3D GTX (2013)

£140.00

The Salomon Comet 3D GTX is a very lightweight boot, tipping the scales at 1322g (pair, size 11), which is some 200g less than the Asolo Flame for example. But with that weight loss comes a change in character, as this instantly feels softer and less robust than its heavier competitors. The upper is mostly fabric with some leather overlays, ...

Boreal Aztec (2013)

£100.00

Boreal is perhaps best-known for making more climbing- and mountaineering- orientated footwear, but the Aztec is an example of what it can produce for hillwalkers – and at this price it offers a great deal for the money. It has a fabric and leather upper like most mountain activity shoes, but it benefits from a little more support than most ...

First test: Montane Grand Tour 55 (2013)

£120.00

While it’s easy to buy tents, jackets and cooking equipment that saves a few hundred grams here and there, all that effort is wasted if you then stuff all that lightweight gear into a heavyweight rucksack. But lightweight rucksack development has been somewhat stifled by the need to ensure that the resulting design is comfortable with a heavy load and ...

Adidas Terrex Fast R (2013)

£110.00

The Adidas Terrex Fast R manages to keep the weight down while packing in the performance needed to move across a wide variety of terrain. At the heart of the design is a synthetic construction very much built around the Traxion sole unit. The sole is extremely aggressive, with a pattern of deep, widely spaced studs in the forefoot and ...

Scarpa Vortex (2013)

£120.00

The Scarpa Vortex is a shoe with a more aggressive sole unit than most, which gives it instant appeal to those who need something with good grip for walking over muddier ground. A Vibram sole unit provides that extra grip, thanks to a set of lugs that are deeper than others, coupled with a respectably large heel breast for good ...

Montane Atomic (2013)

£110.00

One of Montane’s stable of thoroughbred jackets, the Atomic is a well-proven performer. It is made from 2.5-layer Pertex Shield, so you tend to notice any condensation that forms on the inside a little more easily than jackets with a mesh lining or 3-layer jackets. But the benefits are low weight and small packed size, which make this ideal for ...

Adidas Terrex Swift Climaproof Storm (2013)

£120.00

Adidas isn’t the first brand I’d think of when it comes to outdoor gear, but this product proves they know a thing or two about heading to the hills. The jacket is made from a 2.5-layer fabric so it isn’t ideal for condensation control, but it gives a healthy tick in the box for low weight and packability. Comfortingly for ...

Rohan Atlas (2013)

£140.00

At last, I hear you cry, a jacket that’s long! Yes: the Rohan Atlas is longer than most waterproofs. It is in fact long enough to cover a suit jacket when in town, and long enough to protect your butt and groin when walking in the hills. The other advantage of all that extra length is that you can put ...

Keela Cumulus MR Pro (2013)

£140.00

The Keela Cumulus MR Pro is designed as a 4-season jacket and it was developed in partnership with mountain rescue teams. On paper it sounds great and there are some instant boxes ticked in terms of its design. Firstly it’s made from Keela’s waterproof and breathable fabric, which has a wicking liner that rapidly moves moisture away, and this works ...

First test: Meindl Toronto GTX (2013)

£140.00

Meindl revolutionised the comfort of hillwalking footwear in the early Nineties by making durable leather boots that were far more comfortable than they had ever been before. But now what we all want from a boot isn’t just about comfort; it’s also about weight and most recently price. The Toronto has been designed especially for the UK market to offer ...

Arc’teryx Phase AR Hoody (2013)

£55.00

Base layers with hoods are not that common and won’t appeal to everybody. However, if you like the idea of the all-over protection that a hooded base layer provides, the Arc’teryx Phase AR Hoody is one of the best. It wicks moisture, insulates and is tailored for an active fit with flatlocked seams for added comfort. The clever combination of ...

Craghoppers Hsuki (2013)

£120.00

The Craghoppers Hsuki is made from a very soft and slightly stretchy fabric with a loose mesh lining, which makes it instantly more comfortable to wear than many waterproof jackets in our test. Like many jackets it is a little short and the two hip pockets are easily obscured when wearing a rucksack, so it could be much better. But ...

Icebreaker Mondo Longsleeve Half Zip (2013)

£70.00

It would seem that the sheep in New Zealand must be some of the nicest-smelling in the world. The merino wool that the Icebreaker Mondo Longsleeve Half Zip base layer is made from can be worn repeatedly over several days without any hint of unpleasantness, then machine-washed. It’s a bit thicker and heavier than the synthetic base layers we looked ...

Berghaus Vinson (2013)

The Vinson is made from Berghaus’ own-label AQ2 fabric, which is a 2-layer material. It doesn’t claim to be as breathable or as waterproof as Gore-Tex, but it is a much more competitive price. The Vinson is a notch longer than some others here, but it’s still pretty short. The main zip gets an external stormflap to keep the rain ...
