Lowe Alpine Nanon ND 50:60 (2012)

£135.00

Though the Lowe Alpine Nanon ND 50:60 only has a single main compartment (as opposed to two) it certainly makes up for it with a massive front section that can take a whole wedge of extra kit if required. With two stretchy side panels and adjustable straps to make it go even further, it’s the perfect space to cram your ...

Lowe Alpine Omni Lite

A classic soft shell, the Omni Lite delivers top-class performance in a stripped-back design.

Lowe Alpine Flash 2010

£200.00

Lowe Alpine’s Triplepoint Dynamic appeared in the autumn of 2009, and now it is pretty well-established as a great fabric. It has antimicrobial properties too, therefore it should not get so smelly when left damp in a rucksack. It is also very soft and flexible. But the real bonus of the Lowe Alpine Flash is the price, as this makes ...

Lowe Alpine Mtn Gaiter 2010

£30.00

Much like the Berghaus GTX Gaiters, the Lowe Alpine Mtn Gaiters have the more modern tapered design to give as close a fit as possible – however these are cut slightly more generously. The Velcro front fastening with a press stud keeps them firmly in place once fitted, and securing the lace hook to my boots presented no problems. I ...

£30.00

This light to midweight top offers a fairly comfortable fit and superb moisture management. The polyester fabric is just about warm enough to wear on its own in less demanding conditions and it offers excellent wicking.

Despite its reasonably low weight, and very decent pack-down size, the Velocity is a longish jacket, with a rugged main zip and good storm flap.

LOWE ALPINE LIGHTWEIGHT DRYFLO ZIP-NECK

£30.00

Review: The Dryflo fabric is wonderfully soft and stretchy, making it a real pleasure to wear. With a high neck, which provided plenty of warmth, and a deep zip to help cool down, the Dryflo proved very versatile. A little smellier than some, though.  VITAL STATSColours: Deep navy, black, whiteSizes: S-XXLFabric: Lightweight DryfloWomen’s version: YesContact: 01539 740840, www.lowealpine.com
