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 ...

La Sportiva Trango Alp GTX 2012

£240.00

The clue is in the name, as the La Sportiva Trango Alp GTX is very much an Alpine-orientated boot. It has a neater and narrower profile than some other options we looked at, which makes it feel slightly better for climbing and mountaineering on a mix of snow, ice and rock. The boot is slightly lighter than others, which again ...

Scarpa Manta (2012)

£240.00

The Scarpa Manta has been the benchmark 4-season boot for longer than I can remember, which has made it the first choice for many hill and mountain walkers to consider when purchasing a dedicated boot for use on snow. The current version, which remains unchanged since 2009, boasts a stitch-free leather upper with a rubber rand, making it extremely durable. ...

Boreal Triglav 2012

£210.00

The Triglav is the fabric version of Boreal’s all-leather Nelion, which costs £220. The fabric Triglav is a little lighter than the Nelion as well as being lower in price. The fabric upper is protected by a full rubber rand for extra durability, while inside the boot there is a Dri-Line waterproof lining that incorporates Sympatex, which is a well-proven ...

Mammut Monolith 2012

£220.00

The slightly lower price of the Mammut Monolith compared to many other boots makes it instantly attractive. The boot sports modern styling, thanks to the mix of materials on the upper. There is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining and on the outside a full rubber rand improves long-term durability. Get this boot on and the ankle cuff feels slightly more supportive ...

Zamberlan Vajolet 2012

£240.00

The Zamberlan Vajolet is a very ‘European’ style of boot, but it also benefits from a great range of well-designed features. Firstly it is relatively lightweight, thanks in part to the fabric upper. The mix of materials on the upper are protected by a rubber rand that encloses the front half of the boot. Inside is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining ...

AKU Spider Light GTX 2012

£235.00

The AKU Spider Light GTX features a unique upper design called AKU Air Infinity Technology, using materials more breathable and lighter than leather. To further enhance breathability, a thermoplastic PU frame provides support to the upper while leaving large areas of fabric open to the air. There is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining too, to keep your feet dry, plus a ...

Asolo Sherpa GV 2012

£200.00

The Asolo Sherpa GV is an exceptionally well-priced boot, because not only does it cost a full £40 less than the best boot we tested, but it also has a much better set of features than other boots in its price range. So you get a one-piece leather upper for maximum durability and water resistance. But just to make sure ...

La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX 2011

£225.00

The La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX is the lightest 3-4 season boot we looked at, at just 1724g (size 46 pair), and yet it has the performance to compete alongside the heavier boots even on the toughest terrain. The lightweight upper is made from synthetic materials, but you also get a full rubber rand to add extra durability. The ...

Scarpa SL Activ 2011

£220.00

The SL Activ is the latest version of the multi-award-winning and quintessential 3-4 season boot, the Scarpa SL. This new version holds true to the heritage of this boot by having a good stiff sole with an aggressive lug pattern, so you can kick the edges into the snow or crunch through scree with stability and comfort. But now you ...

Mammut Appalachian GTX 2011

£185.00

The Mammut Appalachian GTX weighs in a little lighter than some other comparable boots we looked at, and it also gets a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, which makes the price very impressive compared to alternative options. You don’t get a full leather upper; however the textile is only around the tongue so it should not detract too much from the performance. ...

Alt-Berg Mallerstang 2011

£180.00

If there is one manufacturer that is able to make boots fit everyone then it has to be Alt-Berg. Thanks to their five width fittings it should be easier to get an Alt-Berg boot to fit than any other brand I know. The Mallerstang is only available in a men’s version, however, so half the population will have to miss ...

Wild Country Zephyros 1 2011

£150.00

The Terra Nova Laser Competition has won multiple awards for being one of the best lightweight one-person backpacking tents around. But while its weight of just 930g is appealing, its price tag of £320 is far less enticing. So Terra Nova has released the Zephyros 1 under its Wild Country brand, promising the same living space as the Laser Competition, ...

Mountain Equipment Seraph

£240.00

A really technical-looking jacket with all the features of a top-quality waterproof. It’s comfortable to wear, with adjustment at the cuffs, waist and hem to fine-tune the fit, and soft fabric at the chin to prevent chafing. The hood is fantastic – deep enough for the biggest heads of hair, with adjustment side and back to lock it down tightly ...

Mountain Equipment Kongur 2011

£290.00

A frequent winner of Trail tests, the Mountain Equipment Kongur is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric like many others; but what I particularly like is that you get a little extra length in the body. You can still wear a harness and climb in this jacket, but you just don’t get as wet compared to shorter options. Also the ...

Rab Latock 2011

£280.00

The Rab Latock is made from eVent fabric, and this version feels particularly robust and hard-wearing. It does make the jacket heavier than some others (762g, men’s L), but it’s likely that it will also stand up to abuse far better as well. The feature set is ideal for wet or wintry mountain days, thanks to the four large chest ...

Rab Mountain Dru 2011

New for this winter, the Rab Mountain Dru is a more durable and longer version of the Rab Super Dru. So it is made of a tougher version of eVent fabric with further extra reinforcement on the shoulders, sleeves and hem. The jacket is not incredibly long, but it’s longer than some others here such as the very similar Mountain ...

Mountain Equipment Morpheus/Seraph 2011

A well-proven jacket that has frequently been highly rated in Trail tests. The Mountain Equipment Morpheus for men and Seraph for women boast a great set of features that Mountain Equipment is well-known for providing. So you get three large chest pockets that can be easily accessed while wearing a rucksack hipbelt. The pockets are not mesh-lined, so they don’t ...

Asolo Imperial

£150.00

These are a well-styled boot, perfect for walking in most terrain. The stiff sole unit and thick leather build give them great support and foot protection. The high ankle also helps with support on loose ground, while also providing just enough cushioning without becoming too bulky or warm. Comfort is also helped by laces which reach far down the boot, ...

Rab Vapour-rise Guide Jacket 2011

£150.00

The Rab Vapour-rise Guide Jacket is a new winter version of Rab’s popular Vapour-rise range. The Pertex Equilibrium fabric doesn’t have a membrane sandwiched between its layers, meaning it’s more breathable than many soft shell fabrics so you’re less likely to get condensation while wearing it. This Guide version is also warmer than the standard Vapour-rise jackets, thanks to a ...

Montane Sabretooth 2011

The Montane Sabretooth has been a Trail favourite for a couple of years; it still offers an excellent range of features. The Polartec Powershield fabric has a membrane with tiny holes, which makes it very windproof while being pretty breathable. The fabric offers the right degree of insulation, so it feels reasonably warm and can be combined with a thinner ...

OMM Cypher Jacket 2011

The OMM Cypher Jacket is similar to the brand’s Cypher Smock model, but with the addition of a full-length front zip and two massive chest pockets, which for me at least make a more desirable piece of kit for hill-walking. Of course adding a front zip and pockets increases the weight, but at 304g for a men’s size L this ...

Rab Demand Pull-On

Uniquely, this top is designed in a smock-style, which harks back to the uncluttered designs of climbing kit. The result is a top with minimal stitching and fuss to impede its technical ability to shed water and breathe. As an emergency waterproof to throw on in a sudden downpour it’s great. The 3-layer eVENT waterproofing does make it more substantial ...

It’s also soft, doesn’t rustle badly when you walk, and is surprisingly breathable, too. The ...
