Vaude Brenta 35 (2011)

£80.00

The adjustable back system has to be the biggest draw for this pack, being one of the simplest to adjust and allowing you to customise the fit. The real benefit comes from the ability to customise the amount of curve in the suspended mesh back system. Two small tabs are all it takes and so the pack can be adjusted ...

Vaude Astra Light 60 2011

£140.00

The Vaude Astra Light 60 – a new, lightweight version of the classic Astra 65, a frequent winner of Trail tests – is the only pack here that uses a zip for main access. It also sports a versatile adjustable back system for comfort, which does, however, make it the heaviest on test. DesignThis and the Berghaus Torridon 65 are ...

Vaude Triset 35+8 2010

£65.00

The Vaude Triset won ‘Best Value’ in the June 08 Trail test (it’s £10 more expensive now) and here it keeps its closest competitor – the Lowe Alpine AirZone – among the runners-up. If you’re looking for a pack with an airflow back system it would be worth checking out both of these models along with the Karrimor Airspace. This ...

Vaude Triset 25+4 rucksack

£50.00

This latest Triset incarnation features narrower shoulder straps and a web of shock cord on the front that’s ideal for carrying a wet waterproof. It’s a tall, slim pack, with excellent compression straps that will hold just about any size load securely. And as such it’s best-suited to more energetic walking or even scrambling.

Vaude Triset 25+4

£45.00

A classic pack that has done consistently well over the years. The Triset is tall and slim, perfect for steep and strenuous going, with a well-padded, contoured harness and an excellent concave back system that is cool and stable. The additional 4L capacity comes from two expandable side pockets that will easily take a water bottle or flask. It also ...

Vaude Triset Ultralight 35 2009

£55.00

If you want to go lighter, try this slim-fitting rucksack with a well-vented back. At 775g the Vaude Triset Ultralight 35 is almost as light as the OMM Classic Marathon 32, but features a more complex back system and comfy mesh hipbelt that’s useful if you really can’t bear back sweat. The curved mesh back doesn’t eat into the main ...

Vaude Power Odyssee XT 2009

£375.00

Some of my most sleepless nights outdoors have been when the winds have been so strong that the tent either flattened against my face and sprang back each time a gust swept across, or the tent poles snapped because they were not flexible enough to bend under the pressure of a gust. Either way, high winds can ruin your night.But ...

VauDe Versametric Proof 65+10 2009

£230.00

It’s a rucksack, but not like any you’ve seen before. With a full-length waterproof zip along the entire main compartment, taped seams throughout and a hipbelt system that swings as you walk, the Versametric Proof is, well, Not Like Other Sacks.   Design The first thing that strikes you about the Versametric is that it’s a clean and simple design, ...

VAUDE TRISET 35+8

£60.00

Review: The concave back system is cool and reasonably stable. The straps aren’t as luxurious as some, but are still comfy even when carrying large loads. This is a huge pack with as much as 43 litres of storage when stuffed to the gunnels. It’s tall and slim but has no bottom or side access, so can be tricky to ...

Vaude Hogan Ultralight 1 2009

£210.00

The Vaude Hogan Ultralight 1 tent feels instantly user-friendly. Pitching is straightforward as the Y-shaped pole assembly clips in easily, giving a freestanding structure. Although it pitches inner-first, it’s fast, so pitching and striking in wet weather isn’t as much of an issue as it could be. The pitching instructions are sewn in to the stuffsack, which is handy. I ...

Vaude Defender

£110.00

The attention to detail on Vaude’s newest mountaineering pant, the Defender, is almost NASA-esque. Using the latest laser-welded seam technology, they’ve created an ultra-stretchy, very light (403g), sleek, good-looking mountain trouser cut to fit women blessed with slimmish thighs. Four laser-welded pockets with easy-to-pull-with-winter-gloves-on zips (two mesh side, two mid-thigh) add to the streamlined look, articulated knee stretch panels allow ...

Vaude Alpinist Stretch 2008

£280.00

Made from eVent fabric, which is rated as extremely waterproof and extremely breathable, the Vaude Alpinist Stretch winter jacket also has stretch panels. Put it on and it is noticeable how much longer this is than most other jackets, which is a very welcome feature. Freedom of movement in the sleeves is outstanding, and you can easily access the two ...

Vaude Triset 25+4

£40.00

The Vaude Triset 25+4 unisex rucksack has a narrow shape and concave back system that are cool and comfy. The Vaude Triset 25+4 hip fins feel lovely, too, even when carrying heavy loads, and the shoulder straps are nicely padded. A light and incredibly stable pack with twin compression straps and a slim profile that really does hug the whole ...

Vaude Hogan Ultralight Argon tent (2008)

£230.00

ReviewThis is a lightweight version of the classic Hogan tent. Unlike the Hogan, it pitches inner-first with a pre-assembled pole frame that forms a skeleton from which the inner is suspended. The outer then goes over the top, with quick-release buckles and ladder-lock adjustments. There is one entrance and this leads directly into the single porch. As with many Vaude ...

Vaude Taurus 1

£145.00

This 2-person tent is a modern classic. The Taurus 1 now has extra poles at the foot for more space and stability. Meanwhile the rest of the tent is the same tried and trusted design. Pitching is outstandingly easy, thanks to the unique external frame design and the addition of adjustable pegging points. The tent is reasonably stable too. Like ...

Vaude Triset 35

This 30-40 litre rucksack is a classic sack that benefits from an Aeroflex back system. This allows valuable airflow around the back, which is of particular benefit on hill-walks in warm weather. The back system is very comfortable, and the wide hipbelt allows much of the weight to be carried on the hips. I particularly like the design of the ...

Vaude Decoder

£80.00

The Decoder walking trousers sport a good four-way stretch fabric which means you get plenty of freedom of movement for scrambling and climbing, as well as walking. The waist is elasticated with belt loops, there’s a zipped fly and they fitted me well. Strangely the belt loops have reflective piping! A little articulation at the knees plus a zipped ankle ...

The Vaude Astra 65 has won ‘Best Buy’ awards from Trail on several occasions and this backpacking rucksack still offers the essential features that have made it so popular. It is based around a main compartment with a zip-out divider to provide an upper and lower packing area. The lid is a floating design that gets a removable baffle connecting ...

Vaude Triset 35 + 8

£55.00

The Triset rucksack fitted well – with a very long back and lovely slim profile. It has modest padding, but is ample for its size. We found the Aeroflex concave back system cool and very stable. The tall, slim profile makes it best for rugged terrain or scrambling, but this, combined with its huge volume, makes it more fiddly to ...

Vaude Escape Full Zip Pant

£75.00

These waterproof overtrousers use a fabric that is more waterproof and more breathable than some lower-priced options, so you should stay drier. They also have a mesh lining, which again adds to the comfort levels. Fitting is easy thanks to the full-length side zips that mean these fit over any boots in seconds. This zip also gets an external stormflap ...

Vaude Lombok

£100.00

This windproof fleece from Vaude is a good fit in the body, but the sleeves are a little loose and the cuffs could do with some elastic. The collar is a decent height and feels cosy around the neck. The Lombok provides a little less insulation than some, but it’s still a warm jacket and it certainly keeps the wind ...

Vaude Maremma 28

This daysack from Vaude is a comfortable, stable pack that carries a full load very effectively. The harness is flimsy compared to the best in class, but the soft shoulder straps, which are fleece-lined to prevent chafing, are excellent. It’s a lightweight model that comes with a compass, thermometer, whistle and sit mat. The pale coloured liner and large main ...
