This flask kept the contents very hot. The lid can be used as a cup and has a plastic liner to protect the lips from scalds. The stopper is the press-down variety, and the outside has a grippy, anodised finish. But the press-down pourer may not be to everyone’s liking as this type can clog up, so it’s not ideal ...

Pennine Fastlock 260 (2012)

£35.00

Probably the most common complaint walkers have with trekking poles is that the internal locking mechanism becomes impossible to lock or unlock and is difficult at the best of times with wet, cold or gloved hands. A popular alternative to the internal expansion lock is an external snaplock, where a lever is flipped closed to lock the pole sections in ...

Trekmates Compact Slim Line 2010

£50.00

The low price of the Trekmates Compact Slim Line pole is instantly attractive, and the weight is very low too compared to some other options. Part of the weight saving may be due to the shorter overall length, as when fully expanded these are only 117cm long. I’m 6ft tall and for me that length was fine. This is a ...

Leki Soft Antishock

£60.00

These Leki Antishock trekking poles are hard to beat. They’re an excellent design with left/right-specific hand straps for comfort. This is one of few designs where the anti-shock works properly. There’s no means of gripping the bottom section, so they may be difficult to undo in winter, although we found the twist-locks easy to adjust and secure under load. That ...

Fujifilm Finepix S100 FS 2008

£400.00

Though it may look like a fully-fledged D-SLR, this Fujifilm FinePix S100 FS is actually an advanced compact camera. It packs in an incredible 14.3x zoom lens that runs from 28mm (ideal for landscapes as you get pretty much everything in the frame), through to 400mm (perfect for filling the frame with distant subjects and isolating detail). The beauty of ...
