Mountain Hardwear Kelvinator (2012)

£220.00

MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR KELVINATOR £220 Our rating: ***** Review: A classic-looking mountain-style down jacket, complete with hood for battening down the hatches when it’s really cold outside. As it uses natural down filling inside, it is susceptible to wet conditions, but a thicker grade of face fabric means that the filling is a bit more protected than in a really lightweight ...

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 ...

La Sportiva Trango Guide GTX 2011

£200.00

At first glance you’d think the La Sportiva Trango Guide GTXs were technical boots, ideal for balancing on small holds or jamming in cracks when scrambling. Pick them up, however, and their light weight suggests walking. Though light weight and technical features aren’t mutually exclusive, climbing boots generally tend to be a bit stiffer and heavier. So, if a boot ...

Scarpa Manta 2010

£220.00

If there is one product that defines the 4-season walking boot it is the Scarpa Manta. The Manta remains the same this year as in 2009. The upper is one-piece leather so there is no stitching to break down with hard use. There is a rubber rand around the whole boot for durability year on year. There is a little ...

The North Face Kishtwar 2010

£239.00

The Kishtwar is part of The North Face’s Summit Series and it’s designed for highly aerobic endeavours in foul weather. The Polartec Power Shield Pro fabric has the benefit of being far more water-resistant than standard Power Shield. DesignThe TNF Kishtwar is a very practical, mountain-orientated design. There are two chest pockets placed high on the body, plus a Napoleon ...

Montane New Sabretooth 2010

£150.00

What’s in a name? The original Montane Sabretooth soft shell jacket was made from Polartec Windpro until July 2010, but from autumn 2010 there is a new version that uses Polartec Powershield. This new fabric has a membrane, which leads to a lower weight plus an increase in water resistance and wind resistance. What’s not to like? DesignThe old Sabretooth ...

Paramo Quito

£199.00

A really comfortable jacket, and it boasts a great hood too; but at 490g it’s also heavy and not very packable. It’s an excellent all-rounder – warm enough and weatherproof enough for winter wear, yet just about light and packable enough to leave in a pack in better conditions. It is a bit warm for full-on summer weather, though, even ...

Asolo Flame GTX

£150.00

Excellent for high mountain use with a high and stiff ankle cuff that offers plenty of support and hefty protection at the toe and heel. The midsole is great for uneven, hard ground but perhaps a little too stiff for easier going, and the outsole provided good traction on most surfaces. The lacing is excellent, so easy to get just ...

Scarpa Manta 2009

£220.00

Last year the Scarpa Manta 4-season boot had the GSB crampon system, but sadly the system has not become popular enough to warrant its continuity, so on the Manta it is now a feature that can be logged as that great idea that got away! The remainder of the Manta is classic performance-orientated design though. The boot sits lower to ...

Scarpa New SL 2009

£185.00

The Scarpa SL has defined the 3-4 season boot category for many years. It is a classic design that is ideal for British conditions with a one-piece leather upper that is virtually free of stitching to fail, and its 2.8mm thickness means it is very water-resistant. Treat this material regularly with proofing products and it will last a lifetime and ...

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 ...

Meindl Burma Pro MFS 2009

£175.00

The Meindl Burma Pro MFS is a modern classic that changed the marketplace when it arrived on the scene many years ago. It has been a frequent winner of 3-season boot tests in Trail. Its success has been due to a mix of features that are all dedicated to performance on the hill. So you get a good leather upper, ...

Scarpa Trek 2009

£150.00

This is the classic Scarpa Trek with a modern twist of style and function. Firstly you get a classic quality leather upper with minimal stitching so there is little chance of leakage. Inside there is a sumptuous leather lining that gives the boot a wonderful feel on the fit, straight from the box. The upper is nice and stiff, so ...

Páramo Velez Adventure Light 2009

£180.00

For many, the word ‘Light’ that suffixes this new, slimmer riff on Páramo’s cracking Velez Adventure Smock will arch an interested eyebrow. Páramo waterproof products have always been love-’em-or-leave-’em affairs for many, with praise usually centring on their freakish waterproof/breathability powers (more of which later) and durability, and excuses typically involving the words ‘hot’ and ‘heavy’. The original Velez Adventure ...

BRASHER ASO GTX

£150.00

Review: Broad, roomy boots, ideal for wide or voluminous feet, and the lacing is excellent. They are well-padded, too, so the right shaped feet will get a very comfy ride. The deep cleats gripped well on mud and snow, but away from snow and ice the boots are a bit heavy and clumsy. With a crampon, they felt secure and ...

PARAMO ALTA II

£220.00

Review: The Paramo Analogy fabric works by repelling water from the outside, in a similar way to an animal’s fur; while the inner lining draws perspiration and expels it. As a result this is a very breathable jacket and the membrane-free, non-rustly fabric is also very comfortable. The Alta II is very well-featured, with a superb hood, featuring a wired ...

Vasque M-Possible 2009

£200.00

On first seeing these new M-Possible boots from Vasque I was struck by the integral gaiters, but on picking them up I got a bigger shock. Hidden by the gaiter fabric, instead of the laces I had expected to see, was a dial and a web of fine wires. This unlikely-looking set-up is the BOA closure system – popular with ...

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 ...

In the Mountain Equipment Morpheus (the women’s version is the Seraph) you get classic Mountain Equipment features like large chest pockets and a great hood with a stiff peak that moves really well with the head. It’s made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell, so you get excellent condensation control too. Better still you get a stormflap over that front zip to ...

Montane Superfly 2008

£200.00

The Montane Superfly is an extremely popular multi-activity jacket. It is made from eVent fabric, which is now well-proven for waterproofness and breathability. Some seams are bonded rather than stitched to reduce weight and bulk. There are three large chest pockets that can be easily accessed while wearing a rucksack. You also get strips of reflective material for night action ...

Páramo Velez Adventure Smock 2008

Páramo garments have a broad following thanks to their unique fabric, which controls condensation better than anything else, and keeps the rain out (and the performance can be maintained for life using Nikwax). Two zipped side vents on the Páramo Velez Adventure Smock add ventilation and give access to a zipped tunnel handwarmer pocket. The design is a smock, which ...

The Haglöfs Oz Pullover is an extremely popular jacket that is ideal if low weight is your main priority. It uses Gore-Tex Paclite fabric so high levels of waterproofness and breathability are ensured, while the simple design means there are fewer seams, which further improves breathability and makes the most of the weight advantage of Paclite. It is a smock ...
