Paramo Alta II
Paramo Alta II £245 This jacket is the heaviest of the group and therefore the warmest of them and is particularly effective in windy weather. The styling is not fitted and because of this it feels quite old fashioned. The hood stows away completely which is ideal for windy British weather. The styling is not [...]
RAB NeoShell Stretch Shell jacket
RAB NeoShell Stretch Shell jacket RRP £270 This jacket uses Polartec’s new fabric NeoShell. In this women’s specific version the fabric offers a stretch to it, which was slightly lost on me as the jacket tested is in size medium and quite a generous fit (I’m a size 10). It has a really soft feel [...]
Montane Superfly Shell Jacket
Montane Superfly £270 I had an idea of what I was in for when I tested this jacket as I already have an older Montane jacket of my own. On first impressions it’s very light with it’s eVent fabric. Built for the British mountains, from the Lake District to the Cairngorms, the Super-Fly was developed to [...]

Gregory Freia backpack review
Gregory Freia rucksack – RRP £80 Designed specifically for women, this includes Gregory’s flexible Kinetic FTS Suspension system. The padded split-channel shoulder straps offer great comfort and there are two small elasticated mesh pockets that are useful for gels, etc. The padded waistband has two pockets – one mesh and one rainproof. For its light weight this [...]
Jansport Catalyst Rucksack review
