Berghaus Vinson 2012 (2012)

£120.00

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 ...

Berghaus Bioflex 45 (2012)

£140.00

Prepare yourself for a totally different sensation when walking with this backpack, as Berghaus unleashes its BioFlex technology on the world. This unique back system sees the hipbelt pivot with you as you move, allowing you to bend forward and flex without being encumbered by your load. It does feel odd at first and takes some getting used to – ...

Berghaus Ignite Hoody (2012)

£130.00

On the surface, the Berghaus Ignite Hoody is very similar to the Montane Flux; however it is slightly heavier (20g more) but feels a little warmer. Like others on test it’s wind- and water-resistant, filled with PrimaLoft insulation and also boasts an adjustable hem cord to get a snug fit around your waist. A draught excluder is fitted behind the ...

Berghaus Freeflow 35+8 (2011)

£80.00

A great pack for all-round walking, with an extra eight litres of expandable capacity for when you need to carry a bit more kit. The Freeflow back system is excellent, with minimal contact across the majority of the back and excellent padding in areas where it’s needed (hips and shoulders). The padding around the waistbelt is solid enough, and extends ...

Berghaus Kibo 2012

£200.00

The Berghaus Kibo has held its price below the competition for a while now, and even this year it is only a tenner up on 2010 while most boots are £15 or £20 higher in price. So in terms of cost it is a winner. The boot itself has an upper based on a mix of fabrics and there is ...

Berghaus Explorer Light GTX 2011

£100.00

Boasting a modern design and a Gore-Tex lining for excellent waterproofness and breathability, the Berghaus Explorer Light GTX is, at first glance, an attractive option. The outsole features a lug pattern, which, though not the deepest here, is widely spaced enough to prevent a build-up of mud between them; and an adequate heel breast will ensure you get a good ...

Berghaus Attrition 2011

£320.00

The Berghaus Attrition combines Gore-Tex Pro Shell with stretch panels of the fabric in the black areas under the arms to improve freedom of movement when climbing without relying on excess material. The jacket also has an innovative venting chinguard, so you can breathe more easily when the front of the jacket and hood are fully battened down. There’s a ...

Berghaus Pitztal

£65.00

Lightweight summer walking trousers with a flattering fit and soft, cool, nylon fabric that glides smoothly over the skin as you walk. There’s a decent amount of stretch in the fabric, so they’re very comfortable to walk in, and the articulated knees add to the easy movement too. The waistband has a soft fleece inner fabric which feels great against ...

Berghaus Freeflow 20

£50.00

A streamlined little pack, with no little straps and fiddly bits to get in the way. On the back it does feel quite small and the length of this particular model is short. There are no compression straps, but the curved design and relatively compact capacity means that they’re not really missed. The back system is an updated version of ...

Berghaus Peak 2.1 2011

£120.00

Berghaus is best-known for its rucksacks and waterproofs, but the company has also designed a range of tents in conjunction with Blacks that are sold exclusively through Blacks stores. The Berghaus Peak 2.1 is a dome design with a large porch. It is not the lightest tent here, but it is certainly the most spacious. DesignDomes are perhaps less popular ...

Berghaus Explorer Ridge 2011

£120.00

Berghaus has for many years produced a number of light and well-priced general walking boots that are collectively called the Explorer range. The Explorer Ridge is the leather option, and it comes with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining as well as a very aggressive outsole, so it should be good for a variety of terrain. DesignThe Berghaus Explorer Ridge is primarily ...

Berghaus Torridon 65 2011

£75.00

The Torridon is a new pack from Berghaus aimed at those who need the size and carrying capacity of a fully featured, multi-day backpack, but don’t want to break the bank. It’s only one of two packs here with an adjustable back system and is the only one with traditional zipped side pockets. It’s also the only one under £100. ...

Berghaus Faroe

£100.00

Here’s a very good illustration of what a soft shell should be. Not too bulky, yet with excellent windproofing to help boost warmth that’s further amplified by the slightly velour lining. Tested over some steep contours in an overly wintry Lake District with snow on the ground, it was perfectly at home. As the weather turned wet, using it as ...

Berghaus Tarazed GTX 2011

£140.00

The Berghaus Tarazed GTX is a new boot that involves a collaboration between Vibram and Berghaus to create the unique Opti-Stud sole unit. This sole has widely spaced deep studs that appear ideal for getting a grip in mud as well as resisting clogging. There is a good heel breast too for braking power downhill plus good stiffness for rockier ...

The Berghaus Borazan Pant weighs 434g (size 34); Elements soft shell fabric is water-resistant and durable; thinner fabric ideal for summer; articulated knees; thigh vents; diamond crotch panel; two map-sized hip pockets and zipped seat pocket; ankle cuff drawcord.

Berghaus Freeflow 40

£90.00

H-shaped back system is good with a reduced contact area. It does make it a little wider than some of the others on test, though. The system also has a reduced curve that helps keep the centre of gravity forward. Perforated shoulder straps might look a bit NASA but they do a decent job of letting air in. The hip ...

Berghaus Extrem Duvet 2011

£200.00

The Berghaus Extrem Duvet is almost the ideal duvet for really cold winter nights on the hills. It comes with good-quality down and is very warm, unlike some of the lighter jackets here. That added insulation does mean this is a little heavier than some at 708g, but I’d rather go for maximum warmth than minimal weight in winter. The ...

Berghaus Kibo 2010

£190.00

The Berghaus Kibo is a great-value boot that is holding its price well again this year. The upper is a mix of leather and synthetic materials that protects a Gore-Tex waterproof lining. A rubber rand extends around the whole boot to ensure durability. The upper is very stiff so you can crank down crampon straps as well as protect the ...

Berghaus Blencathra

£100.00

A walking-specific jacket, with a reasonable price tag and plenty of useful features, including the ability to zip in a fleece. The fabric is softer than that of the more technical jackets although not necessarily quieter, and it did perform well against the wind and rain in general use. The traditional cut of the fabric isn’t so well fitted with ...

Berghaus Explorer Ridge

£110.00

The Explorer Ridge is perfect for UK hillwalking. At only 950g per pair, they’re very lightweight, making them suitable for mid to low-level terrain. The ankle cuffs are lower than some, and a fairly flexible midsole helps them stay feeling lightweight and comfortable all day. An excellent pulley lacing system means you can get a secure yet unobtrusive fit across ...

Berghaus Temperance 2010

£230.00

The weight of the Berghaus Temperance is particularly impressive, and when combined with the price it offers amazing value. For your 468g and £230 you get a top-notch fabric in the form of Gore-Tex Pro Shell. The jacket then has a fairly conventional layout of a front zip and two large chest pockets. The chest pockets are high enough to ...

Berghaus Paclite 2010

The Berghaus Paclite multi-activity jacket has been popular for many years. The material is Gore-Tex Paclite, which has the benefit of being very packable and lightweight as the name suggests. The jacket has a good set of essential features. Firstly the fit is comfortably close while the freedom of movement in the sleeves is superb. The tail is extended for ...

Designed as a lightweight Alpine jacket, there are stretch panels of Gore-Tex Paclite used down the sides of the Berghaus Dru as well as down the sleeves to allow a closer fit without restricting movement. Standard Paclite is used elsewhere. The result is a very lightweight jacket but there are also lots of features here to make the Dru practical ...

I’m not sure what has surprised me most here – the fact that Berghaus has designed its first ever tents, or that they are being made under licence by the Blacks Leisure Group and will only be available in the UK from Blacks and Millets stores. Either way, what is most important is how the products perform.The Berghaus Snowdonia 2.1 ...
