Mountain Hardwear Wandrin 48 (2012)

£130.00

The Mountain Hardwear Wandrin 48 is a rucksack that holds a surprising amount of kit within its two compartments. Long zip tags make it easy to open the lower one, and this can be opened up inside (thanks to a zip) to make one compartment if preferred. An oddly placed rain cover in the top half of the lower compartment ...

First test: Mammut Brecon boots (2012)

£145.00

British mountains provide a unique test for the walker, with terrain that includes everything from smooth paths to rocky scrambles and from grassy slopes to boggy moors. While it is easy to get gear that performs well in one situation, it is far more difficult to find outdoors kit that manages to handle everything the UK hills can throw at ...

Montane Flux Jacket (2012)

£130.00

Boasting a wealth of features, the Montane Flux Jacket is quite simply great value for money. Made from Eco-PrimaLoft – where at least 50 per cent of the insulating material is recycled fibre – it will keep you warm enough for summit stops and short lunch breaks for a reasonably low weight (420g, size 10). Its outer shell is water-resistant ...

Sprayway W.N.W (2012)

£110.00

This jacket is new for 2011, although it’s actually an update of a classic model from the Sprayway line. It’s a straightforward, midweight fleece with an added Windstopper membrane. This wind protection boosts the warmth rating of the top without adding to the bulk, in a similar way to many soft shells. That extra layer of material also makes it ...

Lowe Alpine Airzone Centro 35+10 (2011)

£100.00

This is an excellent, technical pack with lots of features common to larger packs. In fact it will work well for overnight trips too, with its expandable 10 litres of extra capacity. The floating lid can be adjusted to hold more in the main compartment, and there are plenty of compression straps to expand or contract the pack as necessary. ...

Rab Meco 165 (2012)

£60.00

An all-new style of base-layer from Rab, using a combination of merino wool, but this time with the clever addition of Cocona – a coconut-derived fabric. The added fibre adds the fast-wicking properties associated with man-made fibres, but with a lower pong quotient, thanks to the coconut infusion. Out of all the mixed material base-layers on test, this is the ...

Berghaus Tarazed GTX 2011

£140.00

The Berghaus Tarazed GTX is a remarkable boot in a number of ways. Firstly the price is stunning by modern standards for a 3-4 season model. But it is also very light for this type of boot. For the minimal price and weight you get good performance too, thanks to a stiff, supportive upper to protect the foot on scree ...

Lomer Gardena MTX 2011

£100.00

Considering you get a quality leather upper with minimal stitching – to help prevent leaks over long-term use – as well as a waterproof liner, the Lomer Gardena (men’s version is the Tofana) offers superb value for money. Despite the fact it doesn’t use Gore-Tex (which may be more breathable than the Mertex they’ve chosen) a liner means that even ...

Brasher Kenai GTX 2011

£100.00

When it comes to soles, striking a balance between bendy enough that you can feel what you’re doing and stiff enough that you’re not groaning at every bump and lump is key. With the Kenai GTX, Brasher seems to have found this balance. Though undeniably bendier than some other models on test, the Kenai (men’s version is the Kiso) does ...

Aku Tribute GTX

£140.00

Feel light on the feet, with a really secure fit that feels lovely to walk in. They’re great looking boots, made from rich looking full-grain leather, and have a lovely chunky sole. A good lacing system and locking eyelet will make it easy to get a good fit across your foot. The ankle cuff is less supportive than some, and ...

Montane Terra Alpine

£80.00

Really quite technical trousers and performed incredibly well on the hills. The stretch-woven fabric is more like traditional soft shell, which allows for a great range of movement whilst remaining close-fitting and doesn’t ride up. This can be particularly useful on windy ridges and when tackling difficult terrain. The narrow fit in the leg is helped with a zip-opening ankle ...

The North Face Alteo 25

£80.00

A great looking pack with lightweight yet tough ripstop fabric and a big bouncy trampoline of a back system. From behind it looks a little squat, with fairly broad shoulders, but once loaded up on your back it feels fine and stays secure without hanging too far off. The back system is one of the best at keeping the air ...

Meindl Portland XCR

£115.00

Despite being a bit heavier than some shoes, the Portland still manage to get the balance of weight and stiffness just about right. The sole is plenty stiff enough for most uses and there is an excellent amount of heel hold to keep your foot locked in place over uneven ground and when walking downhill. They have great stability under ...

Hanwag Drifter Lady XCR

£120.00

Great-looking, very comfortable walking shoes with a lovely secure fit. A really stiff midsole offers excellent support when walking over rough terrain, spurring your feet forward as you walk. This lovely rolling action is helped by a chunky Vibram sole that gives great shock absorption when walking on hard ground, especially in the impact zone at the heel. The grip ...

Rohan On Track Cargo Shorts 2011

£55.00

The Rohan On Track Cargo Shorts’ fabric is a very tough nylon that looks and feels like a heavy cotton but is fast-drying. You get two lines of stitching too so they should be very durable. For comfort there is a nice big crotch panel and the waist is elasticated. So while these shorts do not use a stretch material ...

Rab Sawtooth

£80.00

The Sawtooth is a great example of a performance-driven style of soft shell, although this time without Olympic track-star styling. I didn’t expect the lightweight fabric to be so warm, but during more energetic activity, it really kept the heat in. During a snow-bound jaunt up Snowdon’s Pyg Track, with only a pair of gloves on (and trousers, obviously) the ...

Montane Mantra

£125.00

The Mantra is a really lightweight soft shell, with a fabric that’s so flexible and easy to move around in you can almost forget you’re wearing it. The clean, smart lines make the Mantra look as good on the street as it performs in the mountains, and it’s stylish enough for the pub, too. It features Polartec Power Shield fabric, ...

Merrell Waterpro Ganges 2011

£72.00

The Merrell Waterpro Ganges’ modern styling hides a practical foundation of great features. Firstly the sole unit is a good aggressive Vibram design with deep lugs that are ideal for getting a grip on softer ground. There is an excellent degree of stiffness in there too, though, which makes these better than most here for walking over uneven terrain. The ...

Haglöfs Vertigo GT 2011

£115.00

The Haglöfs Vertigo GT is an extremely durable shoe with modern outdoor styling. Like all Haglöfs footwear the Vertigo comes fitted with a Sole footbed, which is a stiff moulded footbed that will tend to provide more arch control than a conventional floppy layer footbed fitted to most shoes and boots. This footbed can also be moulded to your foot ...

Montane Venture

£120.00

A great pair of hard-wearing trousers, with excellent waterproofing and breathability as afforded by a 3-layer eVENT membrane. The face-fabric is particularly rugged with large reinforced sections around the ankle area to protect against rubbing and further reinforcement around the articulated knees and backside. The trousers have been built with quite a fitted shape that really helps to keep rustling ...

Outdoor Research Habitat Hoody

£70.00

A fleece with a hood has got to be the perfect choice for winter days in the hills, especially when it’s coupled with a high fleecy collar. This jacket looks and feels absolutely luxurious, locking in an incredible amount of heat. It loses a mark for being the heaviest on test, but it makes up for this by being so ...

Mountain Equipment Arete

£120.00

The Arete is noticeably very warm, making it suitable both for the coldest days and less strenuous winter walks. It’s pitched as a mid-layer replacement for your fleece, but it will need to be a fairly icy day for you to avoid being too warm if you’re wrapped in the Arete under a waterproof shell layer. The jacket feels well ...

Icebreaker Mondo Zip

A classic full merino top with all the characteristics that you would expect. It’s not too heavy a weight of fabric so it works well over a wide range of temperatures, with a reasonably snug fit that gives plenty of warmth when you need it. It wicks sweat incredibly well, although it’s not the fastest-drying on test (typical of the ...

Silkbody Silkspun Base Layer Long

£60.00

Although in the hand this top doesn’t feel particularly special, once on, the silk feels incredibly luxurious, like a set of expensive hotel sheets. There is a smooth feel without any clinging at all. Brilliantly, it manages to retain a coolness when it’s hot yet still heats up quickly when it’s cooler. During heavier exertion, the fabric manages to wick ...

Mammut Base Jump Advanced Pant 2011

£130.00

The Mammut Base Jump Advanced Pant is a modern classic that in many ways sets the standard for other trousers to meet. Firstly it benefits from a wide range of sizes so it should fit more people than most trousers do. The fabric is very tough and durable, so it’s great for scramblers, mountaineers and mountain walkers who end up ...
