Berghaus Prognosis GTX (2013)

£100.00

The Berghaus Prognosis GTX is updated for 2013 to make it more suitable for a wider range of activities. It weighs just 920g (pair, size 11), so it’s ideal for ‘fast and light’ activity as well as general travel. The upper is mostly mesh with some reinforcement at the toe and heel but there’s not much compared to more robust ...

Berghaus Long-Sleeve Zip-Neck Technical T-Shirt (2013)

£32.00

As far as general-purpose base layers go, the Berghaus Long-Sleeve Zip-Neck Technical T-Shirt ticks all the boxes. It’s a good price, it’s reasonably light and, because it’s synthetic rather than merino wool, it’s relatively low-maintenance. The long sleeves and high collar keep the breeze at bay on a cold day, and the long chest zip allows the wearer to cool ...

Berghaus Vinson (2013)

£120.00

The Vinson is made from Berghaus’ own-label AQ2 fabric, which is a 2-layer material. It doesn’t claim to be as breathable or as waterproof as Gore-Tex, but it is a much more competitive price. The Vinson is a notch longer than some others here, but it’s still pretty short. The main zip gets an external stormflap to keep the rain ...

Berghaus Mera Peak (2012)

£260.00

The Mera Peak is a classic that gets better with age. This latest incarnation is a comfortable, breathable, quick-drying waterproof that's great to wear – but it's quite a lump to carry. The face fabric is soft yet tough, and the internal lining makes it comfortable against bare skin. The hood is absolutely brilliant: deep and adjustable and almost impenetrable ...

Berghaus Explorer Ridge GTX (2012)

£135.00

Lightweight, comfortable and designed to feel great straight from the box. The fit is generous but not sloppy, with a narrow heel and comparatively wide forefoot. They have an easy-pull lacing system and a locking eyelet at the ankle and the mid-height ankle cuff feels great for easier going and provides plenty of support. The midsole is fairly flexible across ...

Berghaus Ignite Hoody (2013)

£150.00

Probably the best-featured jacket in our test, the Berghaus Ignite Hoody offers great value for money considering what you get. It’s the only option with a two-way zip – important if considering using it with a harness, or as a belay jacket – and it also has a soft chinguard, a fully adjustable hood, premium Primaloft One insulation, a water-resistant ...

Berghaus Bioflex Light 35 (2013)

£100.00

The Berghaus Bioflex Light 35 features a lighter version of the standard Bioflex system to allow improved freedom of movement via a rotating hipbelt. The back system also has an adjustable back length, which allows the shoulder straps to move up or down on a pair of alloy bars. I did find adjusting the back length a little messy compared ...

Berghaus Ramche/Ilam (2013)

£300.00

At this price you would expect the Berghaus Ramche (men’s) / Ilam (women’s) to be pretty special – and it is. It is one of the MtnHaus products designed by a crack team that includes renowned mountaineer Mick Fowler. The jacket features hydrophobic down, which resists ‘wetting out’ (saturation) better than normal down, meaning this keeps you warm even when ...

Berghaus Kibo (2013)

£220.00

The Berghaus Kibo has been available for some years now and it remains unchanged for 2013 except for a 10 per cent rise in price over last year. The upper of the boot is made with a mix of fabric and leather with some very modern styling. There is a full rubber rand to protect the boot from abrasion and ...

Berghaus GTX Gaiter (2012)

£35.00

A winner of Trail’s ‘Best in Test’ award, the Berghaus GTX Gaiter is a great all-rounder for the hillwalker. It is made of Gore-Tex fabric so it is waterproof and breathable, but it also benefits from extra reinforcement around the ankle cuff to protect it against abrasion. It comes in two sizes and two leg lengths so it may fit ...

Berghaus Tarazed GTX (2012)

£160.00

The Berghaus Tarazed GTX is very light for a boot in the 3-4 season category, and in part that is due to its not being quite as stiff as most other boots in this class. But you do still get a robust, supportive upper to protect the foot on scree as well as snow, and there is a Gore-Tex lining ...

Berghaus Explorer Light Gore-Tex (2012)

£110.00

Berghaus classes the Explorer Light Gore-Tex 2012 as a 2-3 season boot, as an indicator that it is a little softer in the sole than more traditional 3-season boots, although these days there are plenty of bendier boots than the Explorer and so this categorisation should not put you off totally. The upper is fabric and suede with a Gore-Tex ...

Berghaus Hurricane/Kirkby (2012)

£180.00

The Berghaus Hurricane/Kirkby (men’s/women’s) has a longer body than most jackets and while this may not be fashionable it is certainly a practical solution to keeping dry when hillwalking and backpacking. The benefit of this extra body length is that you can access the two base pockets while wearing a rucksack with a hipbelt, which is often not possible with ...

Berghaus Deluge (2012)

£50.00

Well-proven and popular overtrousers, Berghaus Deluge pants are competitively priced but they also have a few more features to make them slightly better for the hillgoer than some similar designs. They are made from AQ2, a ripstop nylon with a polyurethane coating to make it waterproof and breathable. But you also get a loose mesh lining, which makes them a ...

Berghaus Parione (2012)

£80.00

The lowest in price and also the lightest top in our test (306g size UK 12), the Berghaus Parione proves that you don’t have to pay a fortune for a top-quality, well-fitting fleece suitable for walking, scrambling and mountaineering. Berghaus has cleverly combined light but warm Polartec Classic Micro fabric on the main body and arms of this jacket with ...

Berghaus Bioflex 45 (2012)

£140.00

Berghaus has been developing the Bioflex back system for a few years now and for 2012 the system has been revamped to be lighter, but this sack is still on the heavy side at 1620g. However, according to Berghaus the Bioflex system reduces stress, strain and fatigue – so it is possible that this will compensate for the extra weight. ...

Berghaus Statis Pant (2012)

£80.00

Relaxed-fitting trousers with a subtle technical appearance. The lightweight nylon and elastane fabric glides easily over the skin, and there’s plenty of stretch to allow easy movement over rugged ground. Despite being so lightweight, they’re surprisingly tough and abrasion resistant, helped by reinforced panels on the knees and seat. They repel water so well that even on boggy ground, mud ...

Berghaus Velum (2012)

£200.00

The Berghaus Velum is made from Gore-Tex Active Shell, an extremely light and breathable version of Gore-Tex that is specifically designed for fast, active use when condensation control and weight are the priorities. One of the drawbacks of the material is that it is not as durable as other Gore-Tex fabrics and so Berghaus has reinforced the shoulder area to ...

Berghaus Limpet 20 (2012)

£55.00

Designed as a stable pack for fast sport, the Berghaus Limpet 20 utilises a compression system that attaches to the hipbelt so the sack fits closely and remains stable. The Limpet does sit comfortably and the compression system that links to the hipbelt means that when you make a big movement through the hips the sack sits closer to your ...

First test: Berghaus Bioflex 60+15 (2012)

£180.00

Berghaus first introduced its Bioflex back system in 2005 to rave reviews. The latest incarnation is lighter, and – on first appearances – completely different from the original. The Bioflex system is designed to flex and move with your body as you walk, while ensuring that the load remains stable and well-balanced on your back. This has the effect of ...

Berghaus Benefaction II (2012)

£100.00

The Benefaction is marketed as a multi-sport shoe but is best described as a lightweight trail-running shoe that will work as a walking shoe in the right conditions and on the right feet. It has no waterproof liner, so wet feet are guaranteed (unless you only walk in very dry places). But once wet, there’s no danger of water slopping ...

Berghaus Paclite II (2012)

£160.00

The Paclite II is everything a lightweight waterproof should be, and it comes at a relatively modest price too. At 375g, it’s certainly light, yet the Gore-Tex Paclite fabric, combined with great design, means it will withstand just about anything thrown at it. The rollaway hood is deep and adjustable (although it loses a mark for a rather flimsy peak) ...

Berghaus Freeflow 30+6 (2012)

£85.00

The Freeflow has been a Berghaus classic for many years, but for 2012 it has a new adjustable back system. This features a sprung mesh layer that holds the pack away from the wearer but unlike the older version, which had an excessively curved back panel, this new system does not impact on the shape of the main compartment, so ...

Berghaus Velum (2012)

£200.00

Tidy seems to be the watchword with the Berghaus Velum. The four hood adjusters are discreetly placed below the neck and drape downwards out of sight, while the releases are cunningly hidden within the hood and are relatively straightforward to operate. The hem adjuster is likewise tucked away on the inside of the jacket. There are no pit zips, which ...

Berghaus Vinson 2012 (2012)

The Vinson is made from Berghaus’s AQ2 fabric, which is very soft and flexible. A mesh lining further adds to the comfort provided by this jacket. The fabric doesn’t boast the performance ratings of Gore-Tex Performance Shell for example, as featured in other Berghaus jackets, but it is a good low-priced option. There is slightly more length in this jacket ...
