Gelert Ascent

£15.00

These Gelert Ascent trekking poles have only two sections, which makes for a longer (more bulky) pack-down size. But this also means they’re less prone to slipping than some. With a comfortable handle and reasonable weight, this is a bargain pole for all but the very serious hillwalker. Two-section design makes them easier to adjust and tighten. Adequate performance and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Optimus Terra Pan Set 2009

£40.00

The Optimus Terra Pan Set’s neoprene casing can be used to keep cooked food warm while one pot is on the burner. The 1.65 litre pot and frying pan/lid are Teflon-coated and have circular grooves on the base so they grip a stove support better. The 1.70 litre pot is plain aluminium.

Trekmates Trail Lite

£50.00

This Trail Lite trekking pole from Trekmates has a comfy handle design, but the buckle-free strap keeps coming loose and the stiff anti-shock tends to lock itself into the ‘off’ position. This is one of the heaviest designs on the market, despite its name. Fairly easy to adjust: the three sections stay in place most of the time. They could ...

£70.00

If you plan on stowing your trekking poles on your rucksack for long periods while scrambling or mountaineering or making winter ascents with ice axe in hand, then this is the best choice by a long way.

Katadyn Pocket Filter

£200.00

For serious travellers this is by far the best water purifier we looked at. You get a 50,000 litre service life which equals unbeatable running costs of just 0.4p per litre. So although the initial costs are high, if you’re a regular user you will soon get your money back. The flow rate is great too at 1 litre per ...
