Patagonia Guide Hoody (2012)

£155.00

A traditional soft shell made from a relatively simple polyester material, with no membrane to complicate things The Patagonia is one of the lighter tops on test and as such works well in a range of conditions. There’s no windproof membrane, so it’s very breathable, meaning it doubles up well as a mid-layer under a shell when the heavens open. ...

Patagonia Torrentshell Parka

£140.00

A lighter weight, and therefore more reasonably priced jacket here. Although lighter, the face fabric does have Ripstop properties to boost resilience, and it coped well enough with a few scrapes and bumps. The lower price point also means that there is no membrane waterproofing. Instead the H2No coating does the breathable/waterproof job, and as a result it can get ...

Patagonia Rock Guide

£70.00

A decent pair of lightweight trousers, excellent on summer days, and with a bit of in-built stretch that makes them good for travelling too. Recent hiking trips to Turkey’s Lycian Way proved their usefulness, both on a plane and on the trail, whilst taking up very little luggage weight. That lighter weight does mean that they are better suited to ...

Patagonia Torrentshell

£105.00

In terms of performance, this top sits somewhere in the upper middle of the lightweight jackets available. Patagonia’s own h2n0 waterproofing system provides the dryness, but like many others, keeps the weight down by removing a scrim layer on the inside. This means that condensation builds up, especially on colder, windier days. The underarm venting does do a little to ...

Patagonia Capilene 3 Midweight

£45.00

A true turtle neck top, for a change, the neck shape really helping to keep the heat in with its double layer of fabric without being constrictive. The 100% polyester material is surprisingly soft against the skin with a softer inside and harder-wearing face on the outside. The dimpled construction on the inside really helps to trap warm air close ...

Patagonia Fitz Roy 2011

£190.00

If you don’t want a hood then the Patagonia Fitz Roy down jacket is a good choice. It makes use of recycled polyester so in theory it is better for the environment than others as it keeps pop bottles and worn garments out of landfill. It has a reasonable amount of down insulation inside so it feels pretty warm, although ...

£280.00

The Patagonia Shelter Stone weighs 616g (size L); stretch fabric on shoulders and underarms; two chest pockets; two Napoleon chest pockets; double stormflap over main zip; pit zips. But it would be better if the main pockets were slightly higher on the chest to maintain better access when wearing rucksacks or harnesses; hood fit and movement are not as good ...

Patagonia Torrentshell

£100.00

The Torrentshell is a surprisingly well-featured waterproof for its very modest weight and price. The 2.5-layer Nylon H2No ripstop fabric is soft yet tough, and it kept rain out well, although it didn’t deal with perspiration as well as some. It’s let down by its hood, which is a bit on the small side, and also by a floppy peak. ...

Patagonia Nomad GTX 2010

£125.00

The Patagonia Nomad GTX weighs 1436g (pair, size 11); Gore-Tex waterproof lining; leather upper for maximum durability; high percentage of recycled materials; rubber rand; reasonably supportive upper, heel and toe; Vibram outsole with good stiffness. But no heel breast so less grip on slopes; mid-cut ankle cuff, so not the best ankle protection.

Patagonia Borderless Pants 2010

£60.00

Part of the ‘Common Threads’ recycling programme, the Patagonia Borderless Pants feature four zipped pockets, a lightweight cool feel and just a hint of stretch, making them a good option for climbing and scrambling or simply leaping over security gates to catch your plane.

Patagonia Shelter Stone

£235.00

The Shelter Stone trousers are Patagonia’s most “bomber, stormproof 3-layer waterproof/breathable pants”, according to the manufacturers. Better still they have an updated fabric for an even better feel and stretch. They are made from Patagonia’s own waterproof and breathable material, and like other trousers here they have full-length side zips and an internal ankle gaiter. DesignThe H2NO fabric is waterproof ...

Patagonia Capilene 3 zip-neck base layer

£37.00

One of the heavier and warmer tops on the market and also quite expensive for a polyester top. It’s made from 64% recycled fabric and is itself recyclable. It works well as a base-layer, wicking well and drying reasonably quickly, but it’s also warm enough and weather-resistant enough to cope on its own in milder conditions, where the high collar ...

Patagonia Guide

£120.00

The Guide offers good insulation and good weather resistance, too. Not quite as breathable as it might be when working hard, though. The pockets double as vents but the openings aren’t that big so don’t make as much difference as they might do. The zips are all DWR-treated so do a good job of keeping rain out, and the main ...

Patagonia Capilene 2 Zip 2009

The Patagonia Capilene 2 Zip is a fine base layer: very light, with a loose fit that provides plenty of airflow, a relatively open weave that allows plenty of breathability, plus a good cut and a generous zip that means you won’t be overheating. Patagonia has used its own Capilene synthetic fabric, which wicks especially well and is treated with ...

Patagonia Rain Shadow

The Rain Shadow has excellent features. The sizing is generous and the cut is long, and it has a deep, volume-adjustable hood which swivels easily with head movement and a nice high collar and soft chin guard. It performs well, and although the fabric isn’t as breathable as some, it will keep you dry, it’s lightweight, and it packs down ...
