I’ve used Mountain Warehouse gear for a good few years now, both for hiking and camping, and I’ve found their stuff to be solid for the price. They’re not trying to compete with high-end brands like Patagonia or Arc’teryx, but for the average outdoor enthusiast, they offer pretty decent value.
For jackets, I’ve got a waterproof one that’s been through some pretty rough weather, and it’s held up fine. It’s not the most breathable, so if you’re doing a really intense hike, you might get a bit warm, but for general use, it’s great. Their boots can be a bit hit or miss, though. I’ve had a pair that lasted a couple of years with moderate use, but they might not be as durable if you’re really tough on your gear. The fit is super important, so make sure you try them on in-store if you can.

When it comes to camping gear, it’s decent, especially if you’re just getting into it or going on shorter trips. I wouldn’t rely on it for extreme conditions, but for a weekend in the woods, it’ll do the job.

Hope this helped.
