Meindl Burma Pro MFS 2011

£180.00

The Meindl Burma Pro MFS features nubuck leather; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; memory foam; rubber rand for durability; excellent sole unit for general hill-walking; proven performance and frequent Trail’s ‘Best in Test’ winner. But its weight of 1948g (pair, size 11) is just too heavy by modern standards; the price is too high compared with other options that provide most of ...

North Ridge Tower Event 2011

£180.00

The North Ridge Tower Event weighs 1704g (pair, size 11); full-grain leather upper; eVent waterproof lining; rubber rand around toe; Vibram sole unit with extremely deep lug pattern for grip and durability; good stiffness in sole unit. But upper is quite soft and unsupportive compared to sole; at this price there are some slightly better boots.

Karrimor Meridian Low event

£65.00

A bit clumpier than most, mainly courtesy of a very padded upper, but they benefit from a very well-balanced midsole that does a good job of evening out the rough patches without feeling too stiff, and the eVENT waterproof membrane is excellent, keeping water out yet breathing well. They offer good protection for the toe and heel, and the aggressive ...

Asolo Flame 2010

£150.00

The Asolo Flame is a well-proven synthetic and suede leather boot with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining. What sets this apart from many similar-looking boots is that it combines fairly standard-looking styling with some really important functionality. So it is reasonably lightweight compared to some similar options. The upper is more supportive than most with a solid toe box that has ...

Mammut Mount Trail XT 2009

£160.00

The Mammut (formerly Raichle) Mount Trail XT has been a frequent favourite of Trail’s when provided by the manufacturer as a 3-season boot, and it was ‘Best in Test’ in May 2009. However it has now been submitted by the manufacturer for inclusion in the 3-4 season category. The boot features a solidly built leather upper that is not one ...

The North Face Hedgehog XCR

£80.00

Good midsole support, which will be appreciated on rougher ground. Fitwise, they are made around an average last, and they have plenty of padding. There is an odd ridge running down the centre of the footbed, though, and this felt very disconcerting. In action, the very low ankle encourages fast movement but doesn’t offer as much support as most shoes ...

Scarpa ZG65 XCR

£110.00

The ZG65 is slightly narrow, but the uppers are soft and pliable so it’ll accommodate most feet given a few wears. It’s well-padded, and feels very light, but a locking eyelet at the top of the foot would make it easier to get a really stable fit. The midsole is a compromise – stiff enough to take a bit of ...

Garmont Dragontail 2009

£75.00

The Garmont Dragontail is a multi-activity shoe based on the ‘crag approach’ use of multi-activity footwear. So it gets a good, stiff sole unit with sticky rubber to provide great grip on rock as well as being stiff enough to stand on edges easily. A smooth climbing zone around the toe is ideal for more technical climbs. There is good ...

Karrimor KSB Peak Event 2009

£80.00

The Karrimor KSB Peak Event weighs 1400g (pair, size 11); stiff toe box provides lots of protection; Vibram outsole for good grip on a variety of terrain; good cushioning for hard surfaces; eVent waterproof lining. But very soft sole flex restricts performance to level paths; fabric upper not as durable as leather boots and those with less stitching; upper is ...

Raichle/Mammut Mtn. Trail GTX 2009

£150.00

There is actually very little between this and the Scarpa Trek, but for the same price the Mountain Trail also gets a Gore-Tex lining. This was a Raichle boot, but the brand has been absorbed by Mammut so you may see it badged as either. The boot is based around a simple nubuck leather upper without lots of stitching to ...

ASOLO POWERMATIC

£160.00

Review: A full-leather boot with a warm and supportive 2.6-2.8mm upper and a Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofness. Fitwise, it’s slightly broader than average and although the leather upper felt a little uncompromising on first wear, it quickly softened to feel wonderful. It features a good rand so didn’t look too battered after a few rocky outings, and the toe and ...

Mountain Equipment Guide 2009

£40.00

There is a very good pre-curved profile to Mountain Equipment Guide gloves that make them very comfortable, while the fleece lining makes them reasonably warm too. You get a waterproof lining, and this is protected by a leather palm. I found the fit nice and close, and slightly more dexterous than similarly priced options. The wrist cuff is quite short ...

Paramo Cascada

£180.00

A great fit with well-designed sleeves and a good combination of Velcro and elastic at the cuffs. Hem and waist drawcords help fine-tune fit and hood was easy to adjust. Comfort-wise, it’s hard to knock the Cascada, which is cut from a wonderfully soft and rustle-free fabric making it a real pleasure to wear. Good breathability, making it really pleasant ...

Salomon Exit Peak

£60.00

Really comfortable from the box. A good lacing system gives great support right across the foot and there is plenty of room for your toes. Lovely to walk in on dry ground, with a very grippy sole and flexible uppers. No waterproof lining means that wet feet are inevitable on damp ground, so best-suited to dry paths or travelling.

Montane Quick-Fire

£175.00

A scooped hem stops it riding up when at full stretch, while Velcro adjustable cuffs are excellent. The eVENT fabric felt comfortable and proved relatively rustle-free and the hood was huge, although adjusted by Velcro not drawcords. Spot-on in every department. Light and easy to carry when not required, yet comfortable and completely bomb-proof when the heavens open. And the ...

Keen Newport

£70.00

This Keen sandal has shaken up the shoe market since it appeared in 2006 with its unique enclosed toe, where the sole unit moulding is extended around the toe to provide extra protection where it’s needed. The idea has now been copied by many other brands of course. The upper allows your feet plenty of airflow, while offering good protection ...

Brasher Calusa XCR

£80.00

This is a tougher multi-activity shoe than you might expect from Brasher, which is perhaps better known for producing ‘softer’ footwear. The Calusa XCR has a mesh and leather upper with a waterproof lining to provide good protection for the foot. But what sets it apart is the tougher-than-average toe box coupled with a very supportive upper that provides good ...

Asolo Flame GTX

£120.00

Well padded at the ankle cuff and tongue, without being over the top, and the speed lacing system is effective and easy to use, producing a stable fit every time. On the heavy side, but easy to move in, and nimble, too. The stiff midsole excels on rougher ground, yet the boots are just as pleasant to wear around local ...

Rab Alpine Trek

The Teklite fabric has a slightly plastic feel, but still feels good to wear. A no-nonsense walking trouser with contrasting tough Cordura patches on the knees, ankles and seat. They resist the odd shower well enough and are cut from a midweight fabric that’s spot-on for the UK. Colours: Boston, flintSizes: 30-40in waist; 30-34in inside leg Fabric: Teklite SoftshellMain ...

Craghoppers Nosquito Lite

£40.00

Lovely feel to the fabric and the waist has both a webbing belt and elastic panels for a good fit, but they’re a little loose in the leg. In warmer weather these perform brilliantly – the loose fit and fabric feeling lovely and cool. In fresher conditions they are a tad too light. Colours: Pebble, cadet, black pepperSizes: 30-42in ...

Mountain Equipment Mountain Stretch Pant

£80.00

Very comfy walking trousers that are almost as good as the best but lower in price. They come in regular and short leg lengths too. The fabric is a four-way stretch material, which further enhances fit and comfort, and it is softer on the skin than some lower-priced options. The waist is pretty standard, but it is lined with chamois ...

Snugpak Sleeka Jacket

£80.00

This insulated jacket has a drawstring adjustment for the hem and the collar; one internal and two external pockets all with zips; good-sized stormflaps over the pockets; packs into its own stuffsack; manufactured in the UK; really warm. But it’s bulky when packed and heavy at 596g; add the unisex cut and basic functional design, and you get a pretty ...

Berghaus Deluge Overtrouser

£40.00

These are definitely the best waterproof overtrousers for £40 that we tested. In particular they get a long leg zip, making them very easy to fit over boots. That zip also has a double stormflap with press studs, so it will keep out far more water than an exposed water-resistant zip for example. An even nicer addition is the ability ...

Asolo Powermatic 500 GTX

£155.00

The cuff of the Asolo Powermatic 500 GTX may rub slightly on your lower shin at first, but this soon softens, making them very comfortable indeed. They are quite narrow at the toe, but lace up easily, so eliminating any toe banging. They out-perform the competition with a crampon on, but lose out by a whisker for general high-level walking. ...

These waterproof trousers from Regatta are a good fit, with a functional drawcord/elastic waist and an easily adjustable Velcro tab at the ankle.
