Mountain Equipment Morpheus (2012)

£240.00

The Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric on this is superbly breathable and as tough as nails; and it boasts a great hood, with a stiffened and wired peak. The pockets are excellent (although they don’t vent at all) – the cavernous chest pocket simply swallows maps and guidebooks. The hem has drawcord adjustment and there's a helpful waist adjuster, too. The ...

Mountain Equipment Bastion (2013)

£180.00

Slim and close-cut for activity, the Mountain Equipment Bastion, a new jacket, is very well-featured. Gore Windstopper Active Shell makes up the outer, cutting wind chill and increasing water resistance while retaining breathability. Mountain Equipment has catered closely for the British walker: the company’s own weather-resistant Polarloft fill looks after insulation; soft-shell cuffs make the fit around the wrists both ...

Mountain Equipment Lightline (2013)

£170.00

Mountain Equipment’s Classic Lightline, a frequent winner of Trail ‘Best in Test’ awards, is now renamed the Lightline, although it remains otherwise unchanged this year. There is a good amount of quality down used so it feels genuinely warm, thus you can feel safe in the knowledge that it’ll beat the chill. The outer is Drilite fabric, which is waterproof ...

Mountain Equipment Firefox (2012)

£200.00

The Mountain Equipment Firefox is made from Gore-Tex Active Shell, a fabric that is designed to be lightweight while controlling condensation well and keeping rain out, but it is not as durable as other Gore-Tex fabrics such as Pro Shell or Performance Shell. However having a jacket that weighs in at just 329g (size men’s L) is ideal for many ...

Mountain Equipment Diamir (2012)

£280.00

The Mountain Equipment Diamir makes you feel completely protected in the worst of British weather. Though slightly on the heavy side at 530g (size UK12), it is very stormproof and amazingly durable, with Gore-Tex Pro Shell Tenacity reinforcements over the shoulders, upper back and upper arms. The rest of the jacket uses highly breathable Gore-Tex Pro Shell Ascendor II fabric, ...

Mountain Equipment Firefox (2012)

£200.00

The Mountain Equipment Firefox is a well-established jacket that is made from Gore-Tex Active Shell, an extremely breathable and waterproof fabric. Unlike some other jackets the Firefox does not get extra reinforcement on the shoulders, but the benefit is a lighter weight (329g, men's size L). The jacket also features pit zips for extra venting when it is wet but ...

Mountain Equipment Xero 350 (2012)

£280.00

The Mountain Equipment Xero 350 is an interesting mix of traditional progressive features. The bag has an EXL lining, which means that the inner seams are elastic and hug your body to help eliminate cold spots in the bag. These seams feel quite pronounced if you run a hand over them, but in use I quickly got accustomed to them ...

Mountain Equipment Firefox (2012)

£200.00

The long-established Mountain Equipment Firefox should be vying for the crown in this test, and performance-wise it’s up there with the best. Moisture build-up is extremely low, leaving you cool and dry even while working hard. Likewise, it is as likely to keep you protected from the rain as any other jacket on test. It’s also extremely supple and quiet ...

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 Seraph

£240.00

A really technical-looking jacket with all the features of a top-quality waterproof. It’s comfortable to wear, with adjustment at the cuffs, waist and hem to fine-tune the fit, and soft fabric at the chin to prevent chafing. The hood is fantastic – deep enough for the biggest heads of hair, with adjustment side and back to lock it down tightly ...

Mountain Equipment Kongur 2011

£290.00

A frequent winner of Trail tests, the Mountain Equipment Kongur is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric like many others; but what I particularly like is that you get a little extra length in the body. You can still wear a harness and climb in this jacket, but you just don’t get as wet compared to shorter options. Also the ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus/Seraph 2011

£240.00

A well-proven jacket that has frequently been highly rated in Trail tests. The Mountain Equipment Morpheus for men and Seraph for women boast a great set of features that Mountain Equipment is well-known for providing. So you get three large chest pockets that can be easily accessed while wearing a rucksack hipbelt. The pockets are not mesh-lined, so they don’t ...

Mountain Equipment Astron Hooded 2011

£160.00

The Mountain Equipment Astron Hooded is an extremely popular jacket that has in the past been Trail’s ‘Best in Test’. It’s made of Polartec Powershield, which has a perforated membrane to make it very windproof yet breathable. There’s also a brushed lining that gives it just about the right amount of insulation for winter walks, with the addition of a ...

Mountain Equipment Firefox Gore Active Shell Jacket 2011

£200.00

There are many waterproof and breathable fabrics out there, and for autumn 2011 there is a new kid on the block: Gore-Tex Active Shell. This new addition to the Gore stable is billed as their ‘most breathable waterproof fabric ever’, so if you are tired of getting wet in the hills from condensation could this be the fabric you have ...

Mountain Equipment Classic Lightline 2011

£160.00

The Mountain Equipment Classic Lightline is only a tenner more than in 2007 when it was Trail’s ‘Best in Test’. Put it on and it is very cosily warm and ideal for sitting on summits in winter or making a brew outside a tent. The hood is well-insulated and has a wired peak so you get excellent protection in a ...

Mountain Equipment Kongur 2010

£290.00

The Mountain Equipment Kongur is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell like most jackets here, so it is top of the league on performance. What I like about this jacket compared with most is that it is a little longer in the body, so it offers more protection. But the cut still allows this jacket to be worn comfortably with a ...

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 ...

Arguably, soft shells work best in winter and alpine conditions, which is exactly what the Mountain Equipment Shield is designed for. Unlike most soft shells it makes use of a Gore Windstopper fabric as well as a Polartec Powershield fabric in combination to provide optimum performance in one jacket.

Mountain Equipment Diablo/Minaret 2009

The Mountain Equipment Diablo/Minaret is a new multi-activity jacket with many of the brand’s typical features built into a slightly shorter design to improve its performance in fast multi-sport mountain activity. At 458g (men’s L) it is reasonably light, but it benefits over some of the lighter jackets by being made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, which results in better condensation ...

Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat 2009

The Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat is definitely one of my favourite jackets of recent years, and the benchmark general-purpose hill-walking jacket in my view. There are no changes from previous years and as this was ‘Best in Test’ last year it is up to the other brands to come up with something better to shift it from the top slot. ...

The Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat general-purpose jacket is a frequent winner of Trail reviews, and last year it was improved with the addition of Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric.
