Gelert Portobelo 2009

£40.00

This general-purpose jacket weighs 580g (size L); waterproof, breathable fabric; rollaway hood with wired peak; good hood fit and movement; chest pockets can be accessed while wearing rucksack; good sleeve movement; double stormflap over main zip. But better-performing fabric is available for a higher price; pocket mesh liners extend to hem, making retrieval of small items tricky.

Gelert Ottowa

£40.00

This is a lot of jacket for £40. It’s quite heavy, and doesn’t pack down that well, which certainly rules it out for lighter weight walking, but it is very warm, and it certainly keeps some light rain out. It’s reasonably breathable, too. The sizing’s quite big, so try before you buy, and this means the collar is a bit ...

Gelert Fusion 35 2009

£40.00

The Gelert Fusion 35 rucksack has a tested capacity of 35 litres; long back; simple, top zip and underside pockets; 2 pole or ice axe loops, front bungee, 2 stretch mesh side pockets, vented back, reinforced base, orange rain cover, comfy hipbelt. But it’s heavy at 1903g; would benefit from a front pocket, a narrower women’s fit and contouring on ...

Gelert Tasmania Trousers

£35.00

The Tasmania is cut from a soft, lightweight nylon that felt nice to walk in and is generously sized. The fabric hasn’t got as much water-repellency as some, but it dried quickly, provided some wind resistance, and breathed well, too. They have two deep hip pockets, and a selection of zipped pockets for valuables. The reinforced, articulated knees aided movement ...

GELERT ADVENTURE TREKKING WALKING POLE

£25.00

Review: A really comfy rubber grip, let down by very narrow webbing straps. The poles also have a section of foam that extends down the shaft slightly but this isn’t held in position so can move up and down if you pull on it heavily. The aluminium shaft proved strong, but is quite heavy. The twistlock adjusters worked well, but ...

Gelert Core 45+10 2008

£35.00

This rucksack has a good adjustable Cool Air back system; lots of padding on back and hipbelt; wand pockets; side compression straps; snow-lock extension; twin main compartments; floating lid with internal and external pockets and stowed rain cover. But 1800g is very heavy; do you need the adjustable back length, base compartment and bellows side pockets that add all this ...

Gelert Vesanto

£40.00

This windproof fleece from Gelert is a generous fit without being overly big. The collar is high and snug and it has elasticated cuffs, which are both comfortable and versatile. The fabric also feels soft against the skin. A simple but effective warm and windproof jacket that is superb value for money. Main gripe is the pockets, which double as ...

Gelert Ascent

£15.00

These Gelert Ascent trekking poles have only two sections, which makes for a longer (more bulky) pack-down size. But this also means they’re less prone to slipping than some. With a comfortable handle and reasonable weight, this is a bargain pole for all but the very serious hillwalker. Two-section design makes them easier to adjust and tighten. Adequate performance and ...

Gelert Ozzie

£20.00

These Gelert Ozzie women’s shorts are a pretty good fit and cut, made from a pleasant heavy duty poly/cotton fabric. Some wearers will also appreciate the longer cut and conservative styling. After washing they dry pretty quickly for a mainly cotton short. Loads of pockets (too many perhaps) and the heavier fabric makes them ideal for dodgy summer weather.

Gelert Summit 25

£25.00

This daysack from Gelert boasts a concave airflow back system – great on a pack of this price – and this one works fairly well, keeping you cool and comfy. It’s quite short though, and sits quite high up your back. It certainly feels stable and stays cool enough due to that airflow back. Compression straps help steady the load ...

Gelert X-Treme Lite 800

£35.00

This synthetic sleeping bag from Gelert is only 800g, much less than many competitors, and also rather short. It doesn’t have a shoulder baffle, so is really only warm enough for summer or two-season use, but it has a nice hood with a drawcord closure. The soft feel of the nylon shell is good, too.

Gelert Swerve 25

£20.00

This 25-litre daysack from Gelert is very comfortable to wear, despite its very short back length, with the bulk of the load definitely being directed through the padded cushion that sits on the small of your back. The concave back system works well, and the webbing waist belt looks flimsy but doesn’t feel uncomfortable. With an easy access zipped main ...
