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 Airzone Centro 35+10 (2011)

£100.00

This is an excellent, technical pack with lots of features common to larger packs. In fact it will work well for overnight trips too, with its expandable 10 litres of extra capacity. The floating lid can be adjusted to hold more in the main compartment, and there are plenty of compression straps to expand or contract the pack as necessary. ...

Lowe Alpine Kullu

£60.00

A super-soft and warm fleece that fits like a glove. It has got a lovely high, thick collar that traps lots of warm air and feels great to bury your face into; and elastic cord on the hem to fine-tune the fit. The soft elastic cuffs pull up easily, and it has two decent-sized zipped pockets. It’s made from recycled ...

Lowe Alpine Storm

£140.00

A nicely styled jacket made from Lowe Alpine’s own Triplepoint XC fabric. The fairly roomy cut covers the hips easily and there’s a high collar to bury your face into in bad weather. It’s mesh-lined throughout, which adds weight and bulk, but improves breathability and offers some insulation too. The hood is excellent – nice and big, with a full ...

Lowe Alpine Omni Lite

£80.00

A classic soft shell, the Omni Lite delivers top-class performance in a stripped-back design. There aren’t too many pockets or fussy details to get in the way of the fabric’s great breathability and windproofing. Pound for pound it’s one of the best-performing fabrics out there – definitely one of the stretchiest and a strong contender for lightest. The weatherproofing feels ...

Lowe Alpine Velocity 2010

£90.00

The Velocity multi-activity jacket makes use of Lowe Alpine 2.5-layer Triplepoint fabric, which is rated as very waterproof and very breathable. The style is short, which is ideal for running and biking, while the double stormflap over the front zip helps to lock out driving rain – and this is a feature that very few jackets have these days. The ...

A great-looking pack, the Airzone is about the perfect size for summer walking and is built from materials that will certainly last. The harness is extremely comfortable and very adjustable, and the unique hip straps offer a superbly stable and comfortable fit.

Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pant 2010

£60.00

The Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pants have a broad range of great features. The fabric is a mini-ripstop so, if torn, at least the tear won’t extend too far across the trouser due to the ripstop design. The fabric is fast-drying like other fabrics here too. The trousers also have double stitching to increase durability in the long term. To ...

Lowe Alpine Omega

£70.00

breathable and waterproof Triplepoint XC fabric. The fairly roomy cut covers the hips easily, and there’s a lovely high collar. It’s mesh-lined throughout, which improves breathability and offers some insulation too. The hood is ample in volume, but the peak has no stiffness and there’s not enough adjustment. The pockets are mesh-lined for venting, and are just about large enough ...

Lowe Alpine Atacama Pant

£55.00

A good-looking midweight pant that offers excellent value for money. The fabric feels soft against the skin, but although it dries quickly, it doesn’t resist a shower as well as some. The cut is excellent – easy to move in without ever being baggy, although they’d be more versatile with some elastic on the waist, which comes with belt loops ...

Lowe Alpine Velocity 2009

The Velocity is a popular low-priced, lightweight multi-activity jacket that is made from Lowe Alpine’s own Triplepoint 2.5 layer material. The fabric is rated as very waterproof and very breathable, and it doesn’t have an annoying mesh lining to snag and get in the way. The style is short, which is ideal for running and biking. There is a full-length ...

Lowe Alpine Sierra Lite

£70.00

The Sierra Lite does an excellent job of keeping wind and mild rain off, while providing some insulation and great breathability. Unfortunately the jacket is let down by a non-adjustable, very tight cuff which cuts down its versatility, especially when you’re climbing a hill and feel that rolling sleeves up would be enough to cool you down. It’s a shame ...

Lowe Alpine Diablo 2009

£120.00

With an insulating layer under a windproof or waterproof jacket, maximum efficiency is achieved using a very open-knit material. That is exactly what Lowe Alpine has set out to achieve with the Diablo, which traps huge amounts of air for warmth while allowing maximum airflow to reduce any potential condensation. DesignThe material sets this fleece apart from others, while the ...

Lowe Alpine Velocity

£90.00

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. It has a great hood: deep with plenty of adjustment and a stiff wired peak; and the pockets, which double as vents, are well-placed and plenty big enough to take a map. The cuffs are ...

Lowe Alpine High Trail Cargo Pant

£60.00

The Desert Weave fabric feels soft and comfortable and with a conservative cut these trousers look good enough to wear casually for travel or in the pub. The Velcro waist fastening is prone to coming undone and the sizing is on the large side with 32in feeling more like 34in. They feel great to walk in, although they’re perhaps a ...

LOWE ALPINE AIRZONE CENTRO 35

£70.00

Review: The back system is cool and stable and the harness is just about perfect, with cool and well-ventilated shoulder straps that spread the load nicely. The hip fins are wonderfully comfortable and effective. Adjustable back lengths mean this pack should accommodate most walkers. Not the biggest pack, although plenty big enough for weekend or winter walks, and this makes ...

Lowe Alpine Sierra trousers are new for this winter; very durable; reinforced inner ankle; relatively stretchy; slim, high, comfy, brushed waist; sized for shorter, slim-legged ladies; side pockets slightly offset so zip does not sit on hip bone and grate with a backpack hip belt; 2 popper fly. But snow skirt does not detach from the trouser, reducing their versatility ...

Lowe Alpine Paradigm

£80.00

Plenty of stretch in the fabric, but the drawcord/elasticated waist isn’t as comfy or practical as the button designs of some. Great wind and water resistance makes them perfect for cooler weather or high mountain use, and the stretchy fabric allows easy movement. A good compromise warmth-wise.  VITAL STATSColours: Black, gunmetalSizes: 28-38in waist (31-35_in inside leg)Fabric: StormweaveWeight: 510gWomen’s version: YesContact: ...

Lowe Alpine Wildcat

£100.00

Easy enough to move around in for such a well-insulated jacket. The fleece-lined collar was lovely and snug, but it was let down by tight cuffs that wouldn’t pull up to spill heat. Has a mix of windproof/waterproof fabric in the body and more breathable, less weatherproof fabric under the arms. As such it works well, but noticeably less breathable ...

The Lowe Alpine Velocity multi-activity jacket replaces the Lowe Alpine Rush jacket, which was very popular in previous years. The new jacket weighs in at 366g (men’s L), which makes it light enough to pack in a rucksack. The fabric is a 2.5 layer material (like Gore-Tex Paclite) and is rated as very waterproof and very breathable. The style is ...
