Outwell Steel Vacuum Flask

£12.00

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 ...

Lowe Alpine Kit Bag 70

£40.00

This kit bag has a simple layout comprising of a central lockable zip entry to the main compartment and a pair of oversized handles to allow this to be worn as a backpack. At only 930g it is a very light bag, yet it offers excellent puncture resistance. You don’t get a shoulder strap, though, or any internal compartments.   ...

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 ...

Pacerpole

£78.00

These trekking poles have been around a few years now and developed a select following among those lucky enough to have experienced their unique handles. The handle is a moulded rubber design that sits perfectly in the hand and allows a very natural walking action with less shoulder and elbow movement. Compare this to any other pole, and it is ...

Black Diamond Spire

£80.00

The Black Diamond Spire trekking pole is unique in having elliptical pole shaft sections. This means you can handle the pole far more easily than a conventional round-shafted design. Furthermore, you get greater stiffness in the pole – which is useful when on steep descents where you are applying extra twist and stress on the poles as you negotiate rough ...

Pacerpole Carbon 2010

£87.00

Pacerpoles have been around a few years now but this carbon version shaves some of the weight off. The Pacerpole has developed a strong following due to its unique handle. The moulding is designed to sit perfectly in the hand and allow a very natural walking action with less shoulder and elbow movement. Compare the Pacerpole to any other option ...

Exped Downmat 7 Pump

£110.00

Sleeping mats are essential to reduce heat loss through the ground. According to Exped, heat loss through convection through the ground can be greatly reduced by adding down to the air chambers inside the sleeping mat – and since down compresses so well, this form of insulation allows a tiny packed size too. DesignThe more air pockets trapped inside the ...

Flexcell Sunpak 7 Watt

£177.00

You can tell real depth of thought went into this solar panel’s design. Roll it open and the words ‘solar power’ suddenly take on a whole new meaning. This looks like it could power the Space Shuttle – and survive a trip to Mars! It’s made for serious users who want loads of power, so you get a 35x150cm solar ...

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 ...
