The North Face Venture (2012)

£110.00

To increase its green credentials, the main fabric in the The North Face Venture uses 50 per cent castor oil rather than 100 per cent petroleum in its membrane, thus reducing its environmental impact. The fabric does not control condensation quite as well as higher-priced jackets, though. The jacket weighs little and packs down into one of its pockets. The ...

The North Face Terra 35 (2011)

£105.00

One of the few packs to use a padded, channelled back system, and it’s one of the best. Although warmer than mesh systems, the channels do help keep the centre of gravity close to the body, making this more stable for those looking to move a bit quicker or even scramble. It also keeps the weight down. There is a ...

The North Face Hybrid Long Sleeve Zip Neck (2012)

£50.00

A tight fitting, athletic top built for high-energy activities, and as such may frighten off more casual users. The tight fit ensures that moisture is lifted quickly away from the skin and sent to the outside. Body-mapping has also been used to provide a little extra insulation in key areas. Best of all is the seamless construction, which means a ...

The North Face Venture 2011

£60.00

The presence of The North Face’s distinctive decal on these trousers (the lowest-priced here) certainly ups the cred – and the expectations. At 210g, the Venture trousers are certainly light: made of seam-sealed 2.5 layer HyVent DT fabric (the ‘point five’ refers to a microgrid print layer on the inner, which separates the fabric from the skin and increases airflow), ...

The North Face Alteo 25

£80.00

A great looking pack with lightweight yet tough ripstop fabric and a big bouncy trampoline of a back system. From behind it looks a little squat, with fairly broad shoulders, but once loaded up on your back it feels fine and stays secure without hanging too far off. The back system is one of the best at keeping the air ...

The North Face Cipher

£140.00

A very lightweight soft shell with no fleece lining, the Cipher feels more like a windshirt than a mid-layer. The fit is quite relaxed, with stretchy, forgiving Gore Windstopper fabric that is very easy to move around in. The fit at the cuffs and hem relies on elastic, which keeps adjustment simple and saves weight, but won’t fit everyone. There’s ...

The North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR III 2011

£95.00

The The North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR III weighs 1052g (pair, size 11); Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining; mesh upper for max breathability; protection around upper; good sole stiffness; aggressive lug pattern; good cushioning. But mesh upper extends low so this area may suffer in terms of durability; toe box area is not as protective as some.

The North Face Strider Side Zip

£75.00

Here’s a pair of overtrousers with full-length leg zips that enable them to be completely opened up and make them incredibly easy to put on without hopping around on one foot – handy if you have to make a quick change in the cold. It can make them a bit fussy, although you don’t have to unzip them completely to ...

The North Face Outbound Pant 2011

£75.00

But no ankle cuff adjustments; free fit may be too free if you prefer a more precise ...

The North Face Spire 32

£89.00

A thin, streamlined pack, with a minimal feel, perhaps more suited to Alpine climbing than anything. There’s no clever back system or lots of padding to complicate things, which does help to keep the weight down. Its long, thin shape allows for a great freedom of movement. The climbing pedigree means that there are no side pockets for water bottles, ...

The North Face Jannu II GTX

£139.00

The Jannu II is a heavy boot that is most noticeable for its tough, bomb-proof appearance. They took a bit of wearing in, feeling cumbersome to walk in at first. The fit is very spacious, which will suit women with high-volume feet. Unfortunately the lacing system doesn’t work particularly well – the locking eyelets are ‘grabby’, making it hard to ...

The North Face Gritstone

£149.00

The Gritstone is a traditional close-cut, short, soft shell style in a medium thickness fabric. It keeps the warmth in and the wind out whilst retaining some stretch. The hem cinches and Velcro cuffs help adjust the fit, although there is no cinch on the soft-lined collar. The chest/hip pockets are a good size and sit high on the torso ...

£149.00

The The North Face Triumph Anorak multi-activity jacket weighs 160g (size M); Hyvent 2.5-layer fabric is extremely waterproof and very breathable; one small pocket; short front zip for venting; reflective logo. But hood does not roll down; better condensation control may be available with 3-layer fabric; only one small pocket; peak is big, hood movement is not ideal.

The The North Face Evolution Parka general-purpose jacket uses Hyvent 2-layer fabric with mesh lining; double stormflap over main zip; Napoleon chest pocket; two hip pockets; pit zips; hood rolls into collar; hood has stiff peak and good fit. But 746g (size L) is heavy; pocket access could be slightly better while wearing a rucksack; hood movement could be better.

The North Face Venture ½ Zip Pant 2010

£60.00

The North Face makes a huge range of outdoor gear, and the Venture Pant is one of its classic pieces of kit. Made from fabric without a lining, the trousers boast a knee-length zip to make them easier to fit over boots. DesignPerhaps one of the most important features of any trousers is the material. Considering these are such low-priced ...

The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible 2010

£59.00

The Tekware fabric is relatively heavy, which gives the The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible trousers a much more durable and hard-wearing feel. There’s also double stitching throughout, to again enhance durability. A crotch gusset improves comfort too while an elasticated waist with a belt means this should fit most people. The trousers feature calf zips so the lower legs ...

The North Face Vindicator GTX

£89.00

Soft, suede uppers, and a fairly wide last make these feel like old friends straight from the box. An excellent lacing system makes it easy to achieve a great fit across the whole foot, and a locking eyelet by the tongue makes them incredibly easy to whip on and off. The Vibram sole has quite an aggressive tread pattern, which ...

The The North Face Alkaline weighs 878g (pair, size 11); very breathable synthetic upper; excellent stiffness in the sole for mixed terrain, well-protected toe; good for running and general outdoor use.

The North Face Hedgefrog 2010

£79.00

The definition of a sandal is pushed to the limit with the The North Face Hedgefrog, a hybrid design which has open heel and ankle areas but an enclosed forefoot and toe. This does bring benefits when travelling though and makes the Hedgefrog a very useful piece of footwear for wearing around hot countries and for smart but comfortable travel. ...

The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible

£59.00

One of the heavier pants, so good for higher-level walking and cooler weather. They are convertible, though, so can be worn as shorts in warmer weather. The nylon fabric is treated with a good DWR and this resisted rain well throughout the test. The fit was huge, though, with the medium test sample feeling incredibly baggy and very long; and ...

The North Face Strider 2010

Quite heavy and bulky and as such the Striders are best-suited to all-day wear rather than emergency use. They come with a mesh liner that makes them feel comfortable, even without anything beneath. Very weatherproof, with excellent DWR, and they breathe well too. They have full-length leg-zips – ideal for easy pulling on and/or ventilation. Against them, the waist relies ...

The Stretch has the typical soft and stretchy feel of merino wool, and it performed with all the usual characteristics to make a very functional, versatile and comfortable base-layer that is hard to beat.

The North Face Apex Elixir

£90.00

Very light, the Elixir feels more like a windshirt; it’s also cut from a very stretchy fabric (10% Elastane) which further exaggerates this lightness. Against it, it doesn’t offer much insulation as a mid-layer. On the hill, in mild conditions, it excels; keeping a reasonable amount of precipitation at bay and breathing wonderfully, but when the going gets a bit ...
