Trekmates Stainless Steel Vacuum Flask

£8.00

The stylish, coloured finish adds extra grip when handling this flask, while the simple screw-top design is easy to use and will not easily clog. The cup also gets a good plastic lining that extends around the lip to prevent burns. But others provided better insulation for the drinks, and there are no instructions to advise on cleaning or preheating. ...

Thorlo KX Hiking

£10.00

Gripped the foot well and didn’t ruck when pulling on boots. Slightly rougher material than some, but no problems in action. With heavier padding and thicker fibres than most, these were very warm but dealt with sweat well and provided plenty of protection.Contact: 01539 740840, www.thorlo.com

Outdoor Designs Boojum Bladder 2 litre

£10.00

This hydration system is made from a double layer of PU and crackproof-tested down to -20 deg C. The screw cap is compatible with Nalgene water bottles and therefore also many water purification systems. The large cog grip screw cap can be easily opened wearing gloves too. The system did not leak and the water tasted okay, although it wasn’t ...

Keen Boulder Canyon

£12.00

A superbly soft and comfortable sock with specific left and right fit and good grip. Less padded than most. The high wool content dealt well with sweat and meant little odour, but perhaps a little lightweight for cooler weather/tougher walking.Contact: 01572 772500, www.keeneurope.eu

X Socks Hill Walking Short

£12.50

With dedicated left and right and a very ‘elastic’ feel, these held their position perfectly. One of the warmer socks tested with good padding underfoot but may be too much insulation on the shin and ankle for some. Contact: 01250 873863, www.x-socks.com

Wigwam Merino Comfort Hiker

£13.00

Superbly soft against the skin but not as elasticated as some, so care is needed when pulling boots on. The high wool content dealt well with sweat and remained fairly odour-free – a big bonus. Thicker and warmer than most. Contact: 01462 685890, www.wigwam.com

Extremeties Hiker

£13.00

These have a high wool content, lovely soft feel and there was no slip or rucking at all. Thick, warm socks, which will suit some but not all. Great moisture management and no smell problems. They lose out on versatility for warmer weather use. Contact: 01773 837373, www.terra-nova.co.uk

£15.00

The Blacks Night Vision LED Headtorch weighs 34g; 1 x LED; 1 x red diffuser for night vision; 2 x CR2032 batteries; swivel head; one power mode plus strobe. But very limited information provided; single power setting limits efficiency of battery use.

inov-8 H20rizontal 2010

£15.00

There’s more going on here than just hydration. This system is designed specifically to work with inov-8’s range of packs, and it wraps around the waist, which helps keep your centre of gravity low and evenly distributed. The top closure is made by Source, as are all the components, so you get the same antimicrobial properties here. As with the ...

Jack Wolfskin Thermo Bottle

£16.00

A rubberised coating provides a more secure grip than most others. Better still the insulating properties are good. You get a press-button closure plus a cup. But others offer better insulating performance for their weight and not everyone is a fan of button-operated pourers, as they tend to clog. Capacity: 1000mlMaterials: stainless steel flask and cup, plastic stopper Sizes ...

Ring CybaLite Duo 2010

£17.00

The Ring CybaLite Duo weighs 53g; 1x white LED, 1x red LED for night vision; power output 26 lumens; compact unit; uses 1 x AA battery; similar design as Kathmandu Coupled 0.5W but with a lower price. But white light has only one setting; only 6.5 hours of white light output; head tilt mechanism not very secure.

Vango Anti-shock Walker

£17.00

Vango’s Anti-shock Walker is a bargain pole offering great value for money. The alloy design is quite heavy, though, and the nifty little compasses in the handles don’t always work. Even so, they’re nice poles, with all the essential features and at a reasonable price. Adequate performance on the hill.

Lifeventure TIV Vacuum Flask

£17.00

This flask comes in a metal case, while its black, grippy, anodised coating makes it almost too sexy to use! Inside there is a copper coating to improve insulation. Performance was okay and you get clear instructions. But the plastic lining of the cup does not extend as far as some around the lip to prevent burns. The screw-top pourer ...

Nalgene Encapsul Reservoir 2010

£19.00

The Nalgene Encapsul Reservoir features a decent-sized screw lid (63mm to be precise) – which is wide enough to make refilling easy – and a rugged bite valve that can be twisted to lock the flow of water. There’s a magnetic clip that slides onto your pack that will hold the bite valve in place, making it easier to locate ...

Champion Sports Strap

£20.00

This underwired sports bra has a simple preformed cup, and wide, chafe-free straps; between-breast and side venting mesh for breathability; quick-drying moisture-wicking fabric. But underwires sometime conflict with backpack use, so test it out.

Primus Stainless Steel Vacuum Flask

£20.00

A beautiful black, grippy, anodised flask with a good performance in the temperature test. The cup has a good plastic lining to prevent sore lips. The stopper has a press-down pourer and can also be easily unscrewed. You also get very good instructions and a spare stopper. But the price kills an otherwise good flask, while some may prefer simpler ...

Markill Aquarius Trinksystem 2010

£20.00

The clever closing system on the Markill Aquarius Trinksystem means you can adapt its capacity from 2.5 litres down to 0.5 litres and open the top right up to clean thoroughly inside. The pack also comes with a dedicated tube brush so the perennial problem of bladder gunk can be easily dealt with. And when you get to your camp ...

The North Face Seamless Bra

£20.00

This racer back sports bra is an ultra-lightweight, mesh-cooled bra base layer; comfortable; stretchy and supportive; wicking; odour-resistant. Reduced seams and no labels lessen abrasion. But although the bra is called seamless, shoulder seams still prominent with potential to create backpack strap rub.

Raidlight Neverdry 2.5 litre

£23.00

This hydration system’s feedpipe is insulated with a sleeve to prevent freezing in cold weather. I also like the locking bite valve that prevents drips from when the valve is inadvertently squeezed. The taste test was good too. The bladder is filled through a relatively small screw cap, and a small valve allows the bladder to drip dry when inverted. ...

Shock Absorber Crop Top Impact level 3

£24.00

This racer back sports bra has vertical seamed cup support for medium boobs; crop-top style, unique anti-bounce over-boob design; adjustable chest strap eases dressing; CoolMax fabric wicks sweat effectively. But there’s a strange cleavage-revealing gap between the over-boob support and the bra cup support.

Princeton Tec Fuel

£25.00

This is a very lightweight headtorch with a long battery life on minimal power. The simple design uses a barrel-shaped unit to hold batteries and bulbs, with a switch on the top. There are three power settings plus flash. The manufacturer claims a 26m maximum distance of beam – and this is very broad, which is ideal for camping and ...
