The North Face Super Zephyrus (2012)

£160.00

More of a hybrid than a true insulating number, the The North Face Super Zephyrus falls somewhere between a mid layer and an insulated jacket. It features a combination of Polartec Powerstretch panels and sections of PrimaLoft insulation. Because of this it’s obviously much thinner than the others on test, but then it is meant to sit closer to your ...

The North Face Mica 1 2011

£210.00

The The North Face Mica 1 pitches inner-first, but the poles are colour-coded and use a simple but effective clipping system, so the inner goes up easily and the flysheet attaches at the end points of the hubbed pole assembly for a quick pitch. There are enough pegging points to make a secure pitch and there are guy points on ...

The The North Face Catalyst weighs 528g (size L); 800 fill power goose down; Pertex Quantum fabric; ideal as a spare insulator in warmer weather; stuffs into its own pocket; more hardwearing shoulder and sleeve outer fabrics for durability.

The North Face Stretch Diad 2010

£169.00

The The North Face Stretch Diad weighs 324g (size M); HyVent fabric provides good performance; two good chest pockets that are positioned above hipbelts; pit zips; hood has good fit and movement. But higher price brings even better fabric performance; hood peak cannot be reshaped as it has no wire, which is a drawback.

THE NORTH FACE PRIMAVERA

£190.00

Review: We liked the soft feel of the Gore-Tex fabric and the fleecy lining. The hood fitted well, but is let down by a floppy peak. It kept rain out, no problem, but is quite warm so the pit-zips came in handy. Overall, heavy and bulky and not as breathable as some, but a good price. VITAL STATSSizes: S-XXL Fabric: ...

The North Face Heathen 2008

£280.00

Making the most of Gore-Tex Pro Shell, the The North Face Heathen jacket packs a real performance punch above its weight of only 398g. The material offers superb levels of waterproofness and moisture control, while the functional design is good for walkers. There are just two chest pockets, which easily take maps and can be accessed while wearing a rucksack ...

The North Face M All Terrain

£150.00

With a top-notch hood and deep storm flap, keeping rain out was no problem and the Gore-Tex fabric was notably more breathable than most. Let down by pockets that were difficult to access with a pack on. Roomy with long sleeves that were a little loose at the cuffs. A perfect hood, though, with excellent adjustment, and the soft two-layer ...

The North Face Mountain Guide 2008

£250.00

The North Face Mountain Guide general-purpose jacket is packed full of features. It is made from Gore-Tex Performance Shell, so it is top of the table for waterproofness and very breathable too. There is a mesh lining for extra comfort, while pit zips are provided to allow extra venting. Put the jacket on and it feels very comfortable, with the ...

The North Face Vario 23 tent (2008)

£245.00

ReviewThis is a massive ultralight tent for the weight and it is ideal for two campers (most other very lightweight tents are really one-person tents that you can squeeze two into). But this is also incredibly stable. It is a single-skin design to save weight and it pitches very easily with poles being clipped to the outside of the tent ...

The North Face Rock 22

£150.00

For two campers there is nothing better than a 2-person tent with lots of space in both the inner and the porch areas, and that is exactly what the Rock 22 provides. The tent is pitched inner-first with clips linking the outside of the inner to the two poles, after which the fly goes over top, while colour-coding and ladder-lock ...

The North Face Dark Star

£270.00

Trail’s synthetic sleeping bag lab test gave result of -31 deg C so it is mega-warm and ideal for high altitude peaks; massive zip baffle and shoulder baffle; excellent snag-fee zip; very water-resistant. But 2935g is heavy; confusing labeling gives Hypothermia Risk temperature value of -40 deg C rather than the comfort temp of -11 deg C as it should; ...

The North Face Spectrum 23

£225.00

The Spectrum is a 2-person sub-2kg tent that saves weight by ditching the inner and relying on its design to keep out the condensation and rain. There’s loads of ventilation in the roof and at each end to allow airflow and hopefully minimise condensation. This shelter can also withstand 135mph winds, which the manufacturers claim is far in excess of ...
