All in all a good buy.

Advantages: Lightweight and comfortable
Disadvantages: Inclusive belt isn't the best

If you're looking for some lightweight, comfortable walking trousers but don't want to break the bank then these are a pretty good purchase. With an average retail price of £30 - £35 they are a good few quid cheaper than some of the more fashionable brands but retain the quality of an established company. With more pockets than you would have stuff to put in them these trousers are an excellent choice for the outdoor enthusiast and achieve a successful ...
...you to the Arctic they are warm, comfortable, light and quick drying. These trousers also look pretty' good. Whilst arguably pretty low down on your list of priorities when you're up a mountain, they're actually casual enough that you wouldn't look foolish or too out of place in the pub on your way home. The belt that they come with seems a little suspect and I would probably advise replacing with a more substantial one as far as negatives go I ...

Review of Crag Hoppers Men's Kiwi Trouser

Dry as a dry thing

Advantages: keeps me dry and warm
Disadvantages: None

Regatta Packaway II Womens Waterproof Jacket When the summer holidays wer looming and it became clear that it would be wet, it was imperative that i finally bought myself some kind of light weight waterproof jacket. I don’t know a lot about these things but knew that I wanted something which would keep me reasonably dry and would fit nice and neatly in the boot of the car. In my experience, if I just throw a coat into the boot, it ends up filthy ...
...I could then lose!! WHAT DOES IT PROMISE? So, I have a new outdoor jacket, waht will it do for me? The jacket makes a number of promises: • Isolite 5000 fabric forms a barrier against water droplets, so I won’t be saturated • Permeable to water vapour and so lets perspiration escape • Windproof • Isotex coated polyamide which is a fully waterproof and breathable fabric which is heat taped. So, there we have it, a coat which should allow me ...

Review of Peter Storm Women's Activity Zip Off Trouser

Excellent lightweight rain jacket

Advantages: Lightweight, waterproof and windproof, easily adjustable, big pockets, stuffs down really small
Disadvantages: Some people find they overheat in it after moderate exertion.

Berghaus have been one of the most popular outdoor brands for as many years as I can remember, yet the company seems to provide kit that seems as functional on the High Street as well as up in the high country. Take their Men's Paclite Trek Jacket, for instance - ostensibly a lightweight, waterproof mountain walking jacket but which both looks and acts the part down the local shops. The Paclite Trek is available in two colours: Mazzarine Blue and ...
...are confined to the usual Berghaus label on the left-hand breast and a single "Gore-Tex Paclite Shell" logo on the right hand upper arm. Other than that, the style is subdued yet functional - but it does the job whether you are on the hills or down the High Street. A mountain hood with a slightly stiffened/wired peak is contained within the collar - it rolls away very easily when not in use and is fastened via a flap with velcro fastening that folds ...
