Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pant 2010

£60.00

The Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pants have a broad range of great features. The fabric is a mini-ripstop so, if torn, at least the tear won’t extend too far across the trouser due to the ripstop design. The fabric is fast-drying like other fabrics here too. The trousers also have double stitching to increase durability in the long term. To ...

Lowe Alpine Omega

£70.00

breathable and waterproof Triplepoint XC fabric. The fairly roomy cut covers the hips easily, and there’s a lovely high collar. It’s mesh-lined throughout, which improves breathability and offers some insulation too. The hood is ample in volume, but the peak has no stiffness and there’s not enough adjustment. The pockets are mesh-lined for venting, and are just about large enough ...

Lowe Alpine Atacama Pant

£55.00

A good-looking midweight pant that offers excellent value for money. The fabric feels soft against the skin, but although it dries quickly, it doesn’t resist a shower as well as some. The cut is excellent – easy to move in without ever being baggy, although they’d be more versatile with some elastic on the waist, which comes with belt loops ...

Lowe Alpine Colorado Capri 2010

£40.00

Lowe Alpine’s Colorado Capris are trousers I’d actually be happy to wear out. They are already 3/4 length and there’s a nice stitching design around the pockets to make them a little more stylish. They are UV protection rated at UPF50 and they are easy to wash, quick to dry and adjustable at the waist. Pockets with mesh linings aid ...

Lowe Alpine Capricorn Shirt 2010

£45.00

With the Lowe Alpine Capricorn Shirt, European design sensibilities have led here to deliver a more cheerful design. It comes with an ultra-violet protection factor of 40, and promises to be easy to wash and dry. It has a zipped pocket at the chest and straps to shorten the sleeves to mid-bicep. No venting make this of limited appeal for ...

Lowe Alpine Aruba Shirt 2010

£35.00

The Lowe Alpine Aruba Shirt is a surprisingly pretty top in a good technical fabric that is comfortable, and easy to clean and dry. There’s a passport-sized pocket at the chest with a secure zip, but this probably isn’t where you’d want to stash your travel documents. No venting areas, but it should perform well in all but the hottest ...

Lowe Alpine Omega 2010

£60.00

The Omegas are quite heavy due to a mesh lining, but this aids breathability, adds a bit of insulation, and even makes them comfortable enough to wear against the skin. The waistband is elastic with a drawcord, and they come in three leg lengths. The three-quarter length leg-zips make them easy to slip on over your boots. And the zips ...

Low Alpine Flash 2010

£200.00

Lowe Alpine has used more waterproof and breathable fabrics than most other brands put together. My first Lowe Alpine Mountain Cap back in the early Nineties was made of Gore-Tex. Next Lowe made everything from Triplepoint, before switching to eVent for a couple of seasons. Then they swapped back to Gore-Tex again while retaining some Triplepoint waterproofs within their range. ...

Lowe Alpine Lightweight Dryflo Zipneck base layer

£30.00

This light to midweight top offers a fairly comfortable fit and superb moisture management. The polyester fabric is just about warm enough to wear on its own in less demanding conditions and it offers excellent wicking. It also dries quickly, so clamminess is never a problem, even when resting after a long ascent. It feels nice against the skin, but ...

Lowe Alpine Velocity 2009

£90.00

The Velocity is a popular low-priced, lightweight multi-activity jacket that is made from Lowe Alpine’s own Triplepoint 2.5 layer material. The fabric is rated as very waterproof and very breathable, and it doesn’t have an annoying mesh lining to snag and get in the way. The style is short, which is ideal for running and biking. There is a full-length ...

Lowe Alpine Wilderness 2009

£220.00

All the most important features of a functional general-purpose jacket are built into the Lowe Alpine Wilderness. Firstly it is made from Gore-Tex Performance Shell fabric, so it has high performance levels. There is a mesh lining inside for extra comfort too. The jacket is relatively long in the body so it provides better protection in wet weather than many ...

Lowe Alpine Sierra Lite

£70.00

The Sierra Lite does an excellent job of keeping wind and mild rain off, while providing some insulation and great breathability. Unfortunately the jacket is let down by a non-adjustable, very tight cuff which cuts down its versatility, especially when you’re climbing a hill and feel that rolling sleeves up would be enough to cool you down. It’s a shame ...

Lowe Alpine Diablo 2009

£120.00

With an insulating layer under a windproof or waterproof jacket, maximum efficiency is achieved using a very open-knit material. That is exactly what Lowe Alpine has set out to achieve with the Diablo, which traps huge amounts of air for warmth while allowing maximum airflow to reduce any potential condensation. DesignThe material sets this fleece apart from others, while the ...

Lowe Alpine Lightweight DryFlo Zipneck 2009

£30.00

Lowe Alpine has excelled at producing base layers for many years, and the Lightweight Dryflo Zipneck is a fine exponent of this high quality. It’s exceptionally good at wicking away sweat, utilising different grades of polyester weave on the inside and outside of the fabric to draw moisture to the outside surface. The garment has an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) ...

Lowe Alpine Velocity

£90.00

Despite its reasonably low weight, and very decent pack-down size, the Velocity is a longish jacket, with a rugged main zip and good storm flap. It has a great hood: deep with plenty of adjustment and a stiff wired peak; and the pockets, which double as vents, are well-placed and plenty big enough to take a map. The cuffs are ...

Lowe Alpine High Trail Cargo Pant

The Desert Weave fabric feels soft and comfortable and with a conservative cut these trousers look good enough to wear casually for travel or in the pub. The Velcro waist fastening is prone to coming undone and the sizing is on the large side with 32in feeling more like 34in. They feel great to walk in, although they’re perhaps a ...

LOWE ALPINE CHAMONIX

£220.00

Review: We really liked the soft feel of the two-layer Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric, which is mesh-lined. The hood isn’t as deep as some but it’s easily adjustable and comfortable and doesn’t rustle too badly. The lower pockets are covered up by a rucksack belt, the top ones are a bit high for easy access and there’s no map pocket. ...
