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 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 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

£150.00

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 ...

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 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 Kibo 2009

£180.00

The Berghaus Kibo has been available for a couple of years, but unlike some other 4-season boots its cost has not increased significantly this year due to global economics, and so now the price is very appealing. It is packed with good features too. The upper is made from synthetic material and leather, while a Gore-Tex waterproof lining keeps feet ...

Berghaus Mera Peak 2009

£240.00

What does your jacket say about you? Back in the late Nineties the name Mera Peak said mountaineer and serious skier. The Berghaus Mera Peak was the 2-layer Gore-Tex version of the 3-layer Berghaus Trango Extrem, a benchmark mountaineering jacket that allowed the casual observer to identify Brits in Chamonix at over 100 paces. But times change, designs evolve and ...

Berghaus Axis 2009

£200.00

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. Made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell with a rollaway hood and two chest pockets, it packs the vital stats to compete well with better-known modern classics that walkers talk about over a ...

Berghaus Paclite 2008

£160.00

Berghaus’s Paclite jackets are modern classics that have a lot of great features. The Gore Paclite material was a very popular lightweight fabric as it allows a jacket to pack down really small and weigh not a lot.

Berghaus Temperance 2008

£220.00

It is not often that a new design of hood appears on a jacket, but the Berghaus Raptor hood was designed to make a real difference. To make sure they got the new design right, Berghaus enlisted the help of Andy Kirkpatrick (the climber with the funniest mountaineering stories on the planet). The original idea was to create a hood ...

Berghaus Paclite Trek

£160.00

The longer length of this lightweight jacket is very appealing, particularly as it is lighter than many longer options! The material is Gore Paclite, which was a very popular lightweight fabric, until Gore Pro Shell came out in late 2007. You get additional abrasion-resistant sections around the hem and shoulders too. Arm movement is superb as the hem and cuffs ...

Berghaus High Trails III IA

£200.00

This waterproof jacket from Berghaus is reasonably adjustable, with Velcro cuffs and a drawcord at the hem, but might just be a little too big in the body. Other than that, it has a decent, rustle-free feel to the fabric and a comfortable mesh lining. The hood is also easy to adjust, with a wonderful wired peak and a huge ...
