Finisterre Sastruga III (2012)

£185.00

As with everything made by Finisterre, environmental concerns are high in the designers’ minds. The synthetic fill is PrimaLoft Eco, made from recycled plastic bottles and the face fabric is also made from recycled polyester. The jacket has a tight, long fit. Even in a large it’s quite a snug fit and won’t suit those who prefer a more relaxed ...

The North Face Diez (2012)

£230.00

This is a classic down mid-layer-style of jacket. There’s no hood so it won’t keep your head warm, but it does mean the down is less likely to get wet in a wintry shower. It has a shortish cut, built to fit under a shell layer. The lightweight Pertex shell fabric offers some water resistance, although it can’t be relied ...

Rab Double Pile (2012)

£60.00

A heavy fleece and therefore very warm. Double-pile fabric really traps the heat in. That also makes it bulky, however, and this certainly isn’t the kind of garment to tuck away in your pack for emergency use. Although it may not look like it, the face fabric has a water-repellent treatment which means that you can wear the top in ...

Mountain Equipment Shroud (2012)

£80.00

A technical style of fleece designed to perform well on the hill as part of a technical layering system. It’s a little too lightweight for wearing on a blustery day without a few other layers, and is really for those moving a little faster. Microfleece fabric provides most of the warmth, and allows moisture to wick away to outer layers. ...

Vaude Brenta 35 (2011)

£80.00

The adjustable back system has to be the biggest draw for this pack, being one of the simplest to adjust and allowing you to customise the fit. The real benefit comes from the ability to customise the amount of curve in the suspended mesh back system. Two small tabs are all it takes and so the pack can be adjusted ...

Osprey Atmos 35 (2011)

£100.00

A cracking pack from Osprey with a technical feel to it and a lot of different fabrics used throughout. The main compartment is huge and access to it is good – through a zip opening with some pleasingly large zip-pulls. The zip entry may not be for everyone as there is a slight increase in the chance of getting water ...

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 ...

Helly Hansen Warm Freeze Half-Zip (2012)

£60.00

Helly Hansen’s polypropylene Lifa hollow fibres are mixed with merino wool in this top to capture the best elements of both. Lifa fibres are fast-wicking, with some insulation, while the merino gives extra warmth to the top, whilst also providing natural anti-odour. The dimple effect fabric helps draw moisture up and away well. It works well over a range of ...

The North Face Hybrid Long Sleeve Zip Neck (2012)

£50.00

A tight fitting, athletic top built for high-energy activities, and as such may frighten off more casual users. The tight fit ensures that moisture is lifted quickly away from the skin and sent to the outside. Body-mapping has also been used to provide a little extra insulation in key areas. Best of all is the seamless construction, which means a ...

Marmot Midweight Zip Neck IS (2012)

£45.00

A midweight top that seems best-suited to slightly cooler conditions. The inside of the fabric is lined with a waffle-effect finish to the Polartec Power Dry fabric, which not only helps trap a bit of heat but also helps draw moisture up and away from the skin. The fabric also has a decent amount of built-in stretch that gives it ...

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 ...

Meindl Himalaya MFS 2011

£230.00

The Meindl Himalaya has been around for a few years now, and it has always offered excellent performance for really tough mountain days when you are up against scree and snow for long periods. The upper is leather with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, but to further protect the foot you also get a full rubber rand to ensure this is ...

Trezeta Top Evo 2011

£175.00

Over recent years Trezeta has produced a great range of excellent-value boots, and the Top Evo follows this trend. The price is remarkably good considering what you are getting. This is a boot with a full leather upper, a waterproof lining and a full rubber rand. There’s also a natural ventilation system that allows air to escape through a grille ...

Zamberlan Baltoro 2011

£170.00

A winner of past Trail ‘Best Value’ accolades, the Zamberlan Baltoro remains an excellent choice for hillwalking throughout the year. The instant appeal is that slightly lower price tag than some of the opposition, and you are still getting a very good package of features. So there is a good-quality leather upper that offers stiff protection for the foot, as ...

First test: Rab Neo Stretch jacket

£250.00

The Rab Stretch Neo jacket is made from a new Polartec fabric called NeoShell, which claims to ‘fall in the sweet spot between traditional soft shells and hard shells’. So NeoShell is designed to be waterproof and breathable like a hard shell, while maintaining the stretch and comfort of a soft shell. Polartec NeoShell does have some stretch in it, ...

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 ...

Contour New Navigator 2011

£100.00

With Contour known for producing quality boots for a low price it’s not surprising the New Navigators found their way into the top eight in Trail’s test. The leather upper has hardly any stitching in it, which virtually guarantees durability, and a stiffened toe box provides maximum protection from loose stones. Of all the boots on test, this one has ...

Paramo Velez Adventure Smock

£200.00

Uses Nikwax Analogy waterproofing and works in a similar way to animal fur, driving moisture out and away from the skin. The waterproofing is handled by a DWR coating on the face fabric. The coating retained its water repellence for a longer period than expected, and only really started to wet out in high abrasion areas around the back and ...

Outdoor Research Furio

£250.00

A hard-wearing shell-style jacket. In use it is as solid as they come, with all the usual tough bits and bobs. The most distinct feature of the jacket has to be OR’s full embracing of side venting. Instead of a couple of underarm zips, this jacket has huge zips that run from the hem through to the underarm. The result ...

Marmot Alpinist 2011

£400.00

At £400 the Marmot Alpinist is definitely a considered purchase, as it has the highest price tag of those jackets featured, but if you can ignore the price for a moment, then there are some good features. For starters, although it is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell like many others, it uses what appears to be a more durable version, ...

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 ...

Páramo Aspira Jacket 2011

£290.00

The Páramo Aspira comes in a jacket and smock version, and both are particularly good for cold mountain trips. The unique fabric manages to force water out faster than it can get in through the jacket. In Trail rain room tests conducted at the University of Leeds, we found that Páramo garments were the only ones that kept out water, ...

Marmot Spire 2011

£250.00

The Marmot Spire is a very well-featured jacket that is suitable for year-round mountain walking. It is made from Gore-Tex Performance Shell, which is not as breathable as Gore-Tex Pro Shell; but it is lower in price, which allows a more durable version of the fabric to be used, as well as allowing the jacket to be given additional features ...

Montane Venture 2011

£220.00

The Montane Venture has been a popular multi-activity and hillwalking jacket for many years. It is a relatively stripped-down design, which means it is lightweight at 452g (men’s L). The low weight is due in part to this jacket only having two chest pockets, rather than three or more. Also it is quite short compared to others, and all this ...
