GoLite Borrego (2012)

£155.00

A heavyweight feel to this jacket gives it good credentials when the weather’s a bit colder. Heavier fabric is coupled with a soft-to-the-skin fleece lining that helps to draw out moisture as well as trapping heat. A drawcord hem and Velcro tabs on the cuffs help make it snug too. The Windstopper membrane means it can get a bit warm ...

Golite Malpais Trinity

£180.00

An incredibly lightweight jacket and something that’s better suited to warmer weather use, with its incredible packability and great windproofing. The Trinity membrane which provides waterproofing and breathability works well enough in most conditions and does have a bit of a ruffled scrim layer on the inside to help draw moisture away. It works reasonably well, although the very thin ...

GoLite Wind River Soft Shell Jacket 2011

£150.00

The GoLite Wind River Soft Shell Jacket’s stretchy body fabric is made from recycled polyester, so in theory it’s better for the environment than other jackets, also providing comfort and freedom of movement.

Golite Eden 1 2011

£250.00

The Golite Eden 1 is different from most single-person tunnel-style tents as it has three poles, but it pitches fast with colour-coding on the poles and webbing adjusters for tensioning. Pegging out is also quick, and the numerous guy points make for great stability. The guy lines attached high on the central pole have a wide range of placement possibilities ...

Golite Badlands Trinity

£150.00

The Badlands Trinity moves away from the traditional idea of a soft shell as a mid-layer replacement and towards the outerwear concept, with fully taped seams and a hood. Good stretch levels keep the comfort high, and the fleece lining keeps the warmth in whilst providing softness against the skin. But this does mean it can get a bit too ...

GoLite Eden 1 2010

£250.00

GoLite transformed the UK market in 2001 when it made our lightweight gear look decidedly lead-laden. So I’ve come to expect every new GoLite product to be lean on weight, which in turn often results in products being light on comfort too.But the Eden 1 is not the lightest tent around for one person; indeed it is over twice the ...

Golite Phantom

£150.00

The Phantom is for the true minimalist at only 275g. It’s cut quite short and the fabric is noisy and rather clammy. The Velcro cuffs don’t allow much room for adjustment and are rough against the skin, and there isn’t much of a collar. It has a small fleece chin guard, but the hood isn’t big enough for ladies with ...
