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 ...

Hope Technology Vision R4 LED (2012)

£200.00

The Hope Technology Vision R4 LED is the most powerful headtorch in our test, pumping out 1000 lumens, which means you can light up the woods or fellside so well that you can travel at speed on bike or foot. The lamp can be adapted to fit on a helmet or bike handlebars, and the battery pack can be removed ...

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 ...

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’.

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 ...

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 ...

Adidas Terrex Gore-Tex Active Shell 2011

£195.00

The Adidas Terrex Gore-Tex Active Shell is the lightest jacket in our test, thanks to the use of Gore-Tex Active Shell, which is not the most durable Gore-Tex fabric but is ideal for fast and light performance. As with all jackets made from this fabric, the Terrex is stripped down to the essentials to ensure the jacket is as light ...

Rohan Mountain Guide 2011

£185.00

Rohan is best-known for its travel clothing, but the company also makes some excellent gear for the more adventurous hillwalker too. The Mountain Guide jacket first appeared in 2010 and already it is a well-proven performer. It is made from Rohan’s own Barricade 2-layer fabric with a mesh lining. This is a very comfortable combination, although the use of a ...

Mammut MT Crest GTX

£160.00

These have the look and feel of a much more technical, higher-end style of boot. There is a high ankle cuff that provides cushioning and support, coupled with a thick nubuck leather upper. The heel section is nicely reinforced too, and provides good hold for your ankles. The inside of the ankle cuff is lined with leather and, with its ...

Lowa Stirling GTX

£180.00

The Lowa feels like a big ‘proper’ boot when on. It’s stiff and heavy – perhaps a little too heavy for some – but support is good, with a high-reaching ankle cuff for protection. Inside, there is a good amount of room in the toebox, with plenty of space to wiggle toes, yet without too much space around the midfoot ...

Páramo Velez Adventure Light Smock 2011

Páramo was making soft shells before the term was coined. The Velez Adventure Light Smock is a classic design that has proven its worth over the years. It’s made of Nikwax Analogy Light, which is extremely breathable while keeping the wearer dry from all but the worst rain. The jacket weighs a little more than others, but it’s also a ...

Mammut Ultimate Advanced 2011

£200.00

The Mammut Ultimate Advanced jacket is a good example of what’s possible with Gore Windstopper fabric, which has a microporous membrane sandwiched between the outer and inner layers to make the fabric windproof and breathable while also allowing it to shed light rain. It doesn’t feel quite as warm as other fabrics, but this could be an advantage as you ...

Adidas Terrex Windstopper 2011

£170.00

The Adidas Terrex Windstopper made it into our top eight by offering a little more than some of the other soft shell jackets we considered. First, it’s made from an unbranded windstopper fabric with a microporous membrane, so it’s great for keeping out wind and water, but not as breathable as non-membrane materials. It does feel quite soft, though: the ...

The Marmot Super Mica is a beefed-up version of the original Mica, and it benefits from Duralite Zonal reinforcement at the shoulders and hips, which is a particularly neat solution for those who not only want lightweight gear, but also lightweight gear that’s durable. Lightweight fabrics by their very nature aren’t quite as rugged as heavier ones, so to ensure ...
