Páramo Cambia Shortsleeved T-shirt (2013)

£29.00

With the Páramo Cambia Shortsleeved T-shirt you’re effectively getting two T-shirts in one. The synthetic fabric is finished differently on either side to provide extra warmth or cooling as required. With the slightly shinier surface on the inside, moisture is effectively dispersed during heavy exercise, allowing the wearer to cool down more efficiently. The reverse side has a softer, almost ...

Xcelcius Megatherm (2013)

£30.00

When a base layer comes with a warning not to sleep in it because it’s too warm, you should know what you’re getting; but just to make it crystal-clear, the Xcelcius Megatherm top also comes with a certified -25 deg C rating. Oh yes, it’s a hot one. Looking more like a sweatshirt than a base layer, it has a ...

Keela ADS 100 Short Sleeve Round Neck Top (2013)

£20.00

At just £20, the Keela ADS 100 Short Sleeve Round Neck Top is such a bargain that you might choose to buy a few, and with such a vast array of colour options you could really go to town with your walking wardrobe. Truth be told, you’ll probably want more than one if you’re going on a multi-day hike – ...

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 ...

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 Long-Sleeve Zip-Neck Technical T-Shirt (2013)

£32.00

As far as general-purpose base layers go, the Berghaus Long-Sleeve Zip-Neck Technical T-Shirt ticks all the boxes. It’s a good price, it’s reasonably light and, because it’s synthetic rather than merino wool, it’s relatively low-maintenance. The long sleeves and high collar keep the breeze at bay on a cold day, and the long chest zip allows the wearer to cool ...

Berghaus Ignite Hoody (2013)

£150.00

Probably the best-featured jacket in our test, the Berghaus Ignite Hoody offers great value for money considering what you get. It’s the only option with a two-way zip – important if considering using it with a harness, or as a belay jacket – and it also has a soft chinguard, a fully adjustable hood, premium Primaloft One insulation, a water-resistant ...

Montane Prism (2013)

£100.00

Long a stalwart of good kit and prices, Montane’s Prism is another example of kit purpose-built for the UK. Insulation is Primaloft Eco, which – while not as soft or thick as Premium Primaloft One – uses 50 per cent recycled fibres. It’s still good, warm and adds a pleasing earthy tick, and a weather-resistant Pertex Microlight outer offers further ...

Páramo Torres Jacket (2013)

£140.00

‘Block insulation’ is the term Páramo uses to describe the Torres Jacket, and it does create an apt image: the Torres is a super-warm, chunky layer. It isn't cut for action: this thing is made to protect you from really grim, gnarly weather when you’re stopped, sleeping or in trouble, and Páramo’s CV of gear built for Britain’s climate means ...

Marmot Baffin Hoody (2013)

£150.00

The Baffin Hoody is a fine effort from US company Marmot – which is generally excellent at producing insulating products – that may appeal to the environmentally conscious as its proprietory Thermal R insulation is made from 100 per cent recycled fibre. It’s warm, too, and strikes a nice balance in terms of fit – that is, it’s generous enough ...

Sprayway Reactor (2013)

£90.00

The Reactor, a brand new jacket, is a decent effort from Sprayway, and it hits a number of pleasing chords – the sweetest being in the wallet, as it’s half the cost of the priciest we looked at. An adjustable hood with a stiffened peak and a massive pocket with room for an OS map (one of only two jackets ...

Columbia Premier Packer Hoodie (2013)

£140.00

The Premier Packer Hoodie’s comfortable fit and simple functionality make this decent effort from Columbia a solid if curious contender. The scaly, shimmery Omni-Heat treatment – thankfully confined to lining the body and not on show inside the hood – gives this a bit of a ‘disco’ look when unzipped, but the principle of thermally reflective dots does work, and ...

Mountain Equipment Bastion (2013)

£180.00

Slim and close-cut for activity, the Mountain Equipment Bastion, a new jacket, is very well-featured. Gore Windstopper Active Shell makes up the outer, cutting wind chill and increasing water resistance while retaining breathability. Mountain Equipment has catered closely for the British walker: the company’s own weather-resistant Polarloft fill looks after insulation; soft-shell cuffs make the fit around the wrists both ...

Arc’Teryx Atom LY Hoodie (2013)

£180.00

The Arc’Teryx Atom LY Hoodie is a comfortable, very light jacket that is warm and well- (if not exceptionally well-) featured, and cut to fit for maximum movement with stretchy, microfleece-lined sides. Arc’teryx puts a lot of emphasis on fit; if the clothing suits your body shape, it will fit you like it was made for you – helped by ...

Alpkit Filo (2013)

£120.00

Like all Alpkit gear the price of the Filo is outstanding, yet it also manages to pack in great performance that almost matches the best on test. The Filo has won a ‘Best Value’ award before from Trail, and it remains an excellent option for the price-conscious. It’s very warm thanks to a good amount of good-quality down, and this ...

Mountain Equipment Lightline (2013)

£170.00

Mountain Equipment’s Classic Lightline, a frequent winner of Trail ‘Best in Test’ awards, is now renamed the Lightline, although it remains otherwise unchanged this year. There is a good amount of quality down used so it feels genuinely warm, thus you can feel safe in the knowledge that it’ll beat the chill. The outer is Drilite fabric, which is waterproof ...

Rab Ascent (2013)

£180.00

The Rab Ascent is a very popular jacket that provides a similar performance to the Mountain Equipment Lightline but with some valuable additions. Firstly the hood gets a volume adjuster so it can be made to fit well, both over a helmet and on a bare head. It is packed with a little more down than the Lightline, and it ...

Karrimor Sub Zero (2013)

£200.00

The Karrimor Sub Zero is a great all-rounder thanks to its features, which are well-designed. It is a midweight jacket with a good amount of down to ensure it is warm enough for general winter camping and resting on summits. The shell is nylon with very good water resistance, so you don’t have to panic as much about keeping dampness ...

Mountain Hardwear Hooded Phantom (2013)

£270.00

Down jackets provide different levels of insulation, and the Mountain Hardwear Hooded Phantom sits between the ‘warm but heavy’ options and the very ‘light micro-baffle’ models, which makes it ideal as a mild winter jacket. The benefit of it not being quite so warm as others is that it is very light, so you won’t mind packing this into your ...

Berghaus Ramche/Ilam (2013)

£300.00

At this price you would expect the Berghaus Ramche (men’s) / Ilam (women’s) to be pretty special – and it is. It is one of the MtnHaus products designed by a crack team that includes renowned mountaineer Mick Fowler. The jacket features hydrophobic down, which resists ‘wetting out’ (saturation) better than normal down, meaning this keeps you warm even when ...

Rohan Nightfall (2013)

The Rohan Nightfall offers a superb degree of warmth for its weight, which makes it ideal for stashing in a rucksack and throwing on to watch the sunset from a summit or to keep the chill off an evening camp. The down quality is the key to its performance but you also get a lightweight shell fabric, which has a ...

Montane Featherlite Down Jacket (2013)

£170.00

‘Micro baffle’ down jackets have become very popular recently. These narrow horizontal baffles contain small quantities of insulation that are adequate for milder winter conditions, and as they are relatively light and pack down small they are also ideal for spring and autumn use. The Montane Featherlite Down Jacket is an example of the genre that is quite well-designed and ...

Mountain Equipment Bastion (2012)

Gore Windstopper Active Shell is the lightest and most breathable version of the Gore Windstopper range, but in addition it maintains the very high levels of water resistance of the other Windstopper fabrics. It is this combination of features that could make Gore Windstopper Active Shell ideal for use in insulated jackets. Mountain Equipment’s new Bastion jacket combines this fabric ...

Berghaus Parione (2012)

The lowest in price and also the lightest top in our test (306g size UK 12), the Berghaus Parione proves that you don’t have to pay a fortune for a top-quality, well-fitting fleece suitable for walking, scrambling and mountaineering. Berghaus has cleverly combined light but warm Polartec Classic Micro fabric on the main body and arms of this jacket with ...

Brynje Arctic Double with Hood (2012)

£150.00

Norway has given us a very interesting departure from the norm here. Merino wool (220g/m2) is combined with a moisture-wicking inner mesh for a massive warmth boost as insulating pockets of air are trapped next to the skin. The merino, although thick, is not very wind-resistant, so for breezy days this jacket is best combined with a wind- or waterproof ...
