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.

Berghaus Ignite Hoody (2012)

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 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 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.

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.

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 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 ...

The ankle cuffs are lower than some, and a fairly flexible midsole helps them stay feeling lightweight and comfortable all day.

Berghaus Dru 2010

£200.00

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 ...

Berghaus Deluge Overtrouser 2010

£45.00

Berghaus has long been associated with making practical waterproofs for the hillgoer. The brand produces both technical waterproof trousers for the mountaineer as well as more down-to-earth rainwear for the hill-walker.

Berghaus Explorer Trail Low GTX

£85.00

A comfortable, pretty full-on shoe that pushed the top two quite hard. It’s quite heavy compared to some, but this translates into protection and support on rough ground. The fit is quite neutral, meaning it should suit most feet, but the lacing doesn’t extend very low at the toe, and this adversely affected stability on steep descents. The midsole is ...

Berghaus Paclite II

£150.00

This Paclite II proved very weatherproof on bad days, yet exceedingly easy to carry when it wasn’t needed. The rollaway hood is easily adjustable and usefully deep, and the peak is stiff enough to withstand some fairly blowy conditions. The main opening is protected by a substantial external stormflap and the DWR coating worked well throughout the test. The cuffs ...

Berghaus Couloir/Abruzzi 2010

£200.00

Berghaus has been producing gear for British hill-walkers and mountaineers since the mid 1970s, so they should know a thing or two about keeping people dry. The Couloir trouser (the Abruzzi is the women’s version) is designed for mountaineering where unrestricted movement is required but it is equally at home on the fells when a walker just wants to be ...

Berghaus Ossa

£120.00

The Ossa is a nice looking jacket with quite a relaxed fit, but the arms feel heavier and less comfortable than some because of the large underarm pit-zips (although these do provide a welcome flow of air). The fabric is soft and fleece-lined for warmth and there’s a deep collar to bury your face in. On the downside, the pockets ...

A hard-to-beat lightweight waterproof that doesn’t compromise on comfort. The Gore-Tex fabric is lightweight, soft and easy to move in, and the collar and chin guard have a smooth fleece lining. The collar and hood are separate, so the collar stays warm and comfortable whether the hood is up or down. It also means the hood can be pulled on ...

Berghaus Axis 2009

The Berghaus Axis is an unassuming jacket, but beneath the streetwise design lie a set of functional features that direct this more towards the hill-walker than the casual user.
