Rab Bergen 2010

£110.00

The Bergens manage to balance a light weight and good packability against toughness, comfort and performance to make an excellent pair of trousers. The three-layer eVENT fabric feels incredibly breathable and it will also keep the rain out in even the worst weather. The hip-length zips make it easy to spill heat if the going gets hot; and the drawcord ...

Marmot Precip 2010

£65.00

Lightweight trousers cut from a waterproof and breathable fabric that packs down well when not in use. Well-featured, including a selection of pockets and full-length zips that actually make it quite easy to access your normal trouser pockets. They definitely kept the rain out, even in some quite horrible weather, but they didn’t prove quite as breathable as some. They ...

Berghaus Deluge 2010

£45.00

A really good compromise at a very good price. They are very comfortable, courtesy of a soft fabric and mesh lining, and they are well-featured, with hip-length two-way leg-zips and an elasticated and drawcord waist. They also come in a choice of leg lengths. Didn’t breathe as well as some. Top value for money. VITAL STATSSizes: S-XXXLFabric: AquafoilWeight: 425gContact: 0191 ...

Rohan Cloudbase 2010

£74.00

Notably heavier and bulkier than some. Feature a lining, which feels comfortable even against the skin. Performance-wise spot-on; keeping copious downpours on the outside and never once getting clammy on the inside. They have a perfect combo of elastic and drawcord at the waist and they boast hip-length two-way leg-zips. The single seat pocket proved useful. Slightly bulky for emergency ...

The North Face Strider 2010

£70.00

Quite heavy and bulky and as such the Striders are best-suited to all-day wear rather than emergency use. They come with a mesh liner that makes them feel comfortable, even without anything beneath. Very weatherproof, with excellent DWR, and they breathe well too. They have full-length leg-zips – ideal for easy pulling on and/or ventilation. Against them, the waist relies ...

Regatta Chandler II 2010

£33.00

Performed well in keeping rain and wind out, although not as breathable as some. They have a comfy polyester lining and a useful selection of zip-access pockets, and the waist is adjustable and elasticated so it’s easy to get a good fit. The leg-zips are on the small side, but they do the job, and they come in three leg ...

Craghoppers Travelite 2010

£35.00

Very light and packable trousers, so will definitely suit those who prefer to have waterproofs in their packs for emergencies only. But against them, they are flimsier than most. The sizing is very large and the leg zips are quite short, although it is possible to slip them over boots, just. They have a single pocket, which also doubles as ...

Peter Storm Storm 100 2010

£35.00

An excellent budget-end trouser that’s perhaps a bit too heavy and bulky for emergency use only, but will do a good job for all-day wear, mainly because of a comfy fit and a good mesh liner, as well as a tough polyester fabric. They aren’t the most breathable trousers, so might be better suited to less strenuous walks; but they ...

Paramo Torres 2010

£100.00

The Torres’ are made from an insulated fabric that repels water rather than providing a hard barrier against it; and whilst this is waterproof, very breathable and extremely comfortable, it is sadly too warm for all-day wear (even with nothing beneath it), and also a little heavy and bulky for year-round emergency use. They have a unique belt and drop-front ...

Result Performance Po Coach 2010

£22.00

Very cheap and sadly the performance and fit reflected this, making them at best a real emergency solution for those on a very tight budget. The size S/M was huge on our medium tester, and they flapped noisily in even the slightest breeze. They kept rain out, but they didn’t really breathe at all, so any kind of energetic walking ...

Low Alpine Flash 2010

£200.00

Lowe Alpine has used more waterproof and breathable fabrics than most other brands put together. My first Lowe Alpine Mountain Cap back in the early Nineties was made of Gore-Tex. Next Lowe made everything from Triplepoint, before switching to eVent for a couple of seasons. Then they swapped back to Gore-Tex again while retaining some Triplepoint waterproofs within their range. ...

The Prism 2.0 is the lightest insulated jacket in the Montane range and now it uses 40g/m2 Primaloft Eco insulation so that it reduces its impact on the planet.

Sprayway Nyx/Eos 2010

£130.00

With my head down I battled into the wind and rain. Helvellyn’s summit was close, but the weather was doing its best to prevent me from taking another step forward. In these conditions, it is the hood of a jacket that really makes the difference. With a great hood you can continue more comfortably into the wind and rain, reach ...

Brasher Kanaga Peak 2010

£155.00

With a swing of my leg, the edge of my boot slashed a step in the snow that was wide enough to support my weight. Another swing and another step followed. Onward and upward, step by step, I climbed into the chilly Lakeland fells. I was wearing the Brasher Kanaga GTX, a new winter boot from a brand best known ...

It is the bib that sets these trousers apart, and potentially this design could be ideal for ice-climbing, alpine mountaineering and the Greater Ranges.
