Silva Expedition 4 - 360 2011

£25.00

The Expedition 4 compass is available in a regular version with a 360 degree bezel, and two military versions marked in mils and degrees. The NATO option sports Betalight illumination for night visibility, and this distinguishes it from the standard military and civilian versions, which use luminous markings. The Expedition 4 sits well in the hand and the comprehensive baseplate ...

Recta DT420 2011

£27.00

The DT420 occupies some solid middle ground in Recta’s range of compasses, and with a declination adjuster for offsetting the local magnetic variation, plus a clinometer for assessing how steep that slope really is, it’s packed with features. The declination is adjusted by undoing a grub screw on the underside of the bezel, and because Recta has thought of everything, ...

Vango Cargo 65 (2012)

£38.00

Although the Vango Cargo 65 is the most affordable duffel in the line-up it’s not short of features. Its simple design comes with two solid grab handles at each end, two mid handles with a clasp and – most inventively – two stowable shoulder straps that allow you to carry the bag in the style of a rucksack. It’s nowhere ...

Lifeventure Expedition Duffel 120 (2012)

£50.00

The Lifeventure Expedition Duffel 120 is a wheeled duffel that’s new for 2012, although 70 litre and 100 litre non-wheeled versions are already established on the market. The wheels are treaded and rugged enough to deal with more than just smooth airport flooring, while the base is reinforced to prevent damage to the underside while it is in motion. There ...

Berghaus Mule 40+20 (2012)

£60.00

The Berghaus Mule 40+20 Expandable Kit Bag is the least technical-looking of the bags on test, yet it is able to expand in capacity by 20 litres, making it a particularly versatile choice. It could comfortably function as a hillwalking tool or as a general-purpose bag for travel, gym clothes or work use. The Ardura fabric construction is more supple ...

Suunto MC-2 Global 2011

£70.00

If you’re after a fully-featured mirror sighting compass that’ll work anywhere in the world, then the Suunto MC-2 Global is a sound investment. Most ‘normal’ compasses run into problems if you take them into the wrong hemisphere (ie a northern hemisphere compass won’t function properly if you go too far south of the equator), but a global needle has enough ...

£75.00

Also sporting a global needle for worldwide use, but offering a radical and appealing design, is Recta’s DP 6G. This matchbox-style compass offers a protective case that slides open to reveal a beautifully made bezel with a smooth action, luminous markings in all the right places for efficient night navigation, adjustable declination to get your magnetic north behaving the same ...

The North Face Base Camp Duffel M (2012)

£90.00

The North Face Base Camp Duffel is one of the most established models on the market, and it has long been regarded as an industry standard product. It offers many of the same features displayed on the Vango Cargo, but with a tougher, sturdier design that is reflected in the price tag. The ballistic nylon construction – reinforced by double ...

Ortlieb Duffel Bag 60 (2012)

£140.00

The Ortlieb Duffel Bag is an inventively designed waterproof duffel that comes in 85 litre and 110 litre versions, but the 60 litre example should be big enough for the average hillwalker. The main benefit of the waterproof construction is that it can be used for kayaking expeditions – particularly popular on the west coast of Scotland – and could ...

Lowe Alpine Travel Trekker II 70 (2012)

£170.00

While the other duffels in this test are relatively straightforward affairs, this multi-function bag is a combined rucksack / carryall with enough hidden compartments, nets and storage spaces to house Jason Bourne’s passport collection. This versatility – combined with a total 70 litres of space available – makes the Lowe Alpine Travel Trekker II 70 a viable option for a ...
