Mountain Equipment Alpamayo Jacket (2012)

£160.00

Designed primarily as a belay jacket to go over other layers, the Mountain Equipment Alpamayo is, as expected, generously sized as well as water- and wind-resistant. It’s very warm too – second warmest on test after the Páramo jacket – but then with extra warmth comes extra weight (526g, size 10 – third heaviest here) so it really depends on ...

Mountain Equipment Shroud (2012)

£80.00

A technical style of fleece designed to perform well on the hill as part of a technical layering system. It’s a little too lightweight for wearing on a blustery day without a few other layers, and is really for those moving a little faster. Microfleece fabric provides most of the warmth, and allows moisture to wick away to outer layers. ...

Mountain Equipment Guide Glove (2012)

£40.00

This glove is a well-established and decent all-rounder. It benefits from Mountain Equipment’s own DriLite Extreme waterproof insert, which helps keeps the price down. Inside, the fleece and pile lining does not snag when you slip your wet hand inside, which makes it really easy to put on. As the glove is precurved and the lining is not too thick, ...

Mountain Equipment Firefox 2010

£200.00

The Mountain Equipment Firefox multi-activity jacket is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, so it may not be as light and packable as Gore-Tex Paclite jackets, but it does control condensation much better. The jacket is sealed from the elements pretty well too as there is just one pocket and this is not mesh-lined. The front zip has internal stormflap to ...

MOUNTAIN EQUIPMENT OGRE

£240.00

Review: The brilliantly named Ogre has good-length sleeves and hem and an easily adjustable hood. The fabric is quite soft so it’s a comfy and quiet jacket. It’s a light jacket so packs down very small, but still proved totally waterproof and the hood was a godsend on one very bad day in North Wales. The pockets are perfect, with ...

There’s comfort built in to the Mountain Equipment Snowline sleeping bag, thanks to the EXL system, which allows elastic threads to hold the inner of the bag closer to the body for fewer cold spots.

Mountain Equipment AR Ultralight II tent (2008)

£200.00

ReviewThis is a very light tent, and you can save a further 156g by ditching the pole set and using a pair of trekking poles instead. It pitches outer-first with two vertical poles supporting the outer, and then the inner is suspended from inside.

Very comfy walking trousers that are almost as good as the best but lower in price. They come in regular and short leg lengths too. The fabric is a four-way stretch material, which further enhances fit and comfort, and it is softer on the skin than some lower-priced options. The waist is pretty standard, but it is lined with chamois ...

However, the inclusion of an internal compartment for damp or smelly kit keeps your gear fresh. Oversized handles allow the bag to be carried as a rucksack, while a removable shoulder strap is also provided. The ...
