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 ...

Rab Baltoro Light

£110.00

It’s not often that an article of clothing ticks all the boxes, but this does. The excellent fabric provides a decent amount of insulation and is also incredibly weather-resistant and very breathable. It has two huge hip/chest pockets that double as vents and the cuffs are fastened with Velcro. Single-handed drawcords adjust the hem, trapping or releasing warmth, and another ...

Berghaus Pro Rush Low XCR

£85.00

The Pro Rush’s soft mesh uppers ensure extreme comfort straight from the box and an excellent lacing system makes it really easy to get a good fit. They’re also wonderfully light. The Gore-Tex XCR lining will feel a little sweaty on really hot days, but it does mean you won’t get wet feet walking through long grass or shallow puddles. ...

Teva Open Toachi Leather 2009

£65.00

The Open Toachi Leather is similar to Teva’s excellent Wraptor series that has won these reviews in the past, in terms of its footbed. So you get that superb, easy walking action from the precurved sole, the excellent cushioning and the useful stiffness, which all makes the ride wonderful on every step. The outsole offers a good grip in mud ...

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 ...

Lowe Alpine Arete

£200.00

Good high collar and fleece chinguard, while the waist drawcord ensured a close fit. Adjustable peaked hood is great. The Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric was a bit rustly, though. Although fairly heavy, the Arete was a joy to walk in. Four outer pockets means you can stow hat and gloves easily, while still having room to keep your hands warm. ...

Mountain Equipment Ogre/ Nanga Parbat

£220.00

The Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat general-purpose jacket is a frequent winner of Trail reviews, and last year it was improved with the addition of Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric. This shaved around 40g off the weight and gave the jacket a soft feel. No changes this year, so you still get a little extra length compared with the average jacket, meaning ...

Mountain Hardwear Lynx

£100.00

This windproof fleece from Mountain Hardware is one of the most comfy you’ll ever wear. The lining feels great against the skin and the Naughty Rabbit fabric is unbelievably soft to the touch. It covers hips and wrists well and the soft, high drawcord collar is great. Low bulk, yet very warm. Air permeable side panels provide a welcome flow ...

Mountain Equipment Lightline

£150.00

This is a very warm duvet jacket, and it’s warmer than most others. It incorporates 250g of down insulation, and the shell is very water-resistant. The collar is also fleeced-lined. There is a little extra reinforcement on the sleeves and shoulders for extra durability. You get a removable hood too, which fitted well and had plenty of insulation. The two ...

Mountain Equipment Ogre/Nanga Parbat

£220.00

A frequent winner of Trail reviews, this general-purpose waterproof jacket gets a facelift in winter 2007 with the introduction of Pro Shell fabric. This shaves around 40g off the weight, and gives it a softer feel while retaining excellent condensation control. You get just a little more length than many modern jackets, so that the hem just cups the bottom ...

Patagonia Micro Puff Jacket

£140.00

This insulated jacket is the big brother to Patagonia’s popular Micro Puff Pullover. It features a full-length zip and a hood. The size medium Patagonia weighs in at just 516g (including a 30g stuffsack). The jacket is filled with Polarguard Delta, a top-quality synthetic insulator, and gets a water-resistant shell. The jacket feels comfortable and fits well. The two main ...

Paramo Cascada

£180.00

This waterproof jacket from Paramo has a lovely relaxed, comfortable fit and the soft fabric feels more like another layer of clothing than a traditional waterproof. The body is long and the cut is generous, although drawcords at the hem and waist help get a decent fit. The stiffened hood is outstanding – coupled with the high collar, you can ...

Lizard Wild Women’s

£65.00

These sandals from Lizard are instantly comfortable, with great cushioned footbeds and soft but supportive suede uppers. Three adjustable mesh straps ensure an excellent fit and they flex well at the toe. The soft footbeds provide good shock absorption, the straps are supportive in the wet and dry, the bumper offers top protection, and the stiff midsole is excellent.

Brasher Diabolo Low XCR

£70.00

These multi-activity shoes from Brasher are well padded and low-cut, and the mesh uppers mould to your feet straight away. The lacing system ensures a really secure fit, and I like the softness in the tongue. Despite having a chunky, grippy sole and waterproof XCR lining, they are light, and feel equally at home on the trail and in the ...
