Alpkit Indigo

£5.00

This headtorch weighs just 112g (including batteries); exceptionally low price; 2 or 4 LED power output; tilting head with screw adjustment; max burn time 80 hours. But battery case cover does not fit as well as others; no flash facility; minimal power output; only available direct from manufacturer; 3 x AAA batteries not included.

Wynnster 3 LED + 1 Krypton Headtorch

£8.00

This headtorch weighs just 132g (including batteries); three power settings plus flash; ratchet head tilt with adjustable screws; 3 x AAA included; max burn time 100 hours. But very low battery life unless on almost useless 1 LED setting; not very stable on head due to design; others are lighter for similar or better performance.

Regatta Hydration Bladder 2 litre

£9.00

At less than a tenner, this hydration system is a mouth-watering proposition. It has a lockable bite valve to prevent drips, and the unit did not leak under our 20kg load test. There is a simple screw opening and it all looks like a workable design. But the screw cap is small, so filling and cleaning is not easy. Also ...

Highlander Capella 12 LED Headlamp 2010

£10.00

The Highlander Capella 12 LED Headlamp weighs 134g; 10 x white LED, 2x red LED; 3 white LED power modes plus red strobe; uses 3 x AAA batteries (not supplied). But the front black rubber housing on head rotates and falls off too easily; too easy to fit batteries incorrectly; poor amount of instructions and information provided.

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 ...

Silverpoint Ozone

£10.00

This headtorch weighs just 112g; 3 x LED; windup power supply; two power settings plus flash; superb price. But not as bright as others; relatively unstable due to size of unit on forehead; mounting of torch to headstrap is not as slick as other parts of the design; heavier than some others with batteries; max burn is 90 minutes with ...

Alpkit Gamma (2012)

£13.00

Alpkit is well-known for providing great kit at incredible prices, although the drawback is that you can only buy the gear direct from the brand, so you won’t find this headtorch in your local outdoor store. The Gamma has a main LED that punches out a good beam of light, but it is not as clean or as wide as ...

Wynnster 12 LED Head Torch

£13.00

This headtorch weighs just 120g (including batteries); 4, 8 or 12 LED power settings plus flash; ratchet head tilt system; superb price for the performance; 3 x AAA included; max burn time 30 hours. But battery case not quite as easy to open with cold and wet hands as some; low burn time; quite a large unit on the forehead.

Alpkit Gamma 2010

£15.00

Alpkit is well-known for providing incredible value for money, and so it is perhaps no surprise that the Gamma’s performance matches that of many headtorches costing twice the price. You get a battery pack at the back of the head and the red LED is fitted here. This can be set on strobe or as a red light. The front ...

Deuter Widepac MEC 2 litre

£17.00

This hydration system is made by Source and so it is identical to the Source Widepac 2 Litre in many ways, but the valve-to-bladder attachment is less sophisticated. Under 20kg of weight, there was no leak either, while the bag-within-bag technology should mean this is durable. The bite valve seals itself to prevent drips, though the hood is required to ...

Source Widepac 2 Litre

£17.00

Note the price, then note the feature of a rolltop end opening, which makes filling and cleaning this hydration system super-easy. Furthermore you get an autoseal link between the feeder pipe and bladder, and the bite valve has a cap to prevent accidental squeezing. This all means that there were no leaks in our test. Better still, the water taste ...

Markill Aquarius Trinksystem 2.5litre

£18.00

This hydration system comes with a cleaning brush and excellent instructions printed on the bladder. The bladder has a rolltop closure making filling and cleaning very easy, but you can also fill it through the screw joint between feeder pipe and bladder. No leakage developed during the weighted test. The taste of the water was also top quality. I also ...

Cyba-lite Trek

£20.00

This headtorch weighs 160g (including batteries); 1 x 0.5 watt LED; red light on back of head; 1 power setting plus flash; excellent ratcheted head tilt; 3 x AAA included. But limited choice of light; low burn time of max 11 hours; relatively weak light compared to higher-priced options; battery pack not very comfortable.

Platypus Big Zip Hoser

£21.00

One of the original hydration system brands, the Platypus Big Zip Hoser uses three-layer laminate to add extra durability, while the taste was among the best. The bite valve can be locked closed to prevent drips. The zip opening allows easy cleaning and filling, and it survived our 20kg test. But there are no suspension loops, so the hydration system ...

Lifesystems Intensity 80 (2012)

£25.00

On first appearances the Lifesystems Intensity 80 looks very much like the Alpkit Gamma, but it has some important differences. Primarily the Intensity 80 has a motion sensor that allows you to wave your hand across the front of the headtorch to turn it on and off. The benefit of this is that it makes it extremely easy to operate ...

Kathmandu Dual Headlight 2010

£30.00

The Kathmandu Dual Headlight weighs 118g; 1 x 0.5 watt LED; 3 LEDs; rear red light; max output 26 lumens; swivel head; uses 3 AAA batteries: max burn time 80 hours; 3 power outputs plus strobe; well-balanced with rear-of-head battery pack. But more output is available at a higher price.

Coleman Multi-Colour LED Headlamp (2012)

£30.00

I particularly liked the rotating control knob on the Coleman Multi-colour LED Headlamp as it made switching between settings a doddle. You get three power settings from the main white LED; however this provides a very narrow beam of light, which is not as useful when hillwalking or camping as the broader beams provided by other torches. There’s also a ...

Tibetan Titanium 700 Mug/Pot 2009

£30.00

With a capacity of 700ml the Tibetan Titanium 700 Mug/Pot is a one-person option. The stuffsack weighs 18g while the pan and lid come in at 106g, making it the lightest here. The lid has steam holes and a wire handle while the pot has folding wire handles. But the handles are not protected with plastic, and there are no ...

Freeloader Portable Solar Energy

£30.00

The Freeloader is a pair of solar panels plus a battery unit that is cocooned inside a stylish brushed aluminium casing. Unfold it and you get a slick, space-age design that sits beautifully alongside a mobile phone or iPod and wouldn’t look out of place in Business Class. On the hill it is ideal for those travelling light who just ...

Ring Cyba-Lite Sensor (2012)

£31.00

As the Ring Cyba-Lite Sensor’s name suggests, this headtorch has a motion control sensor built into it so you simply need to sweep your hand across the front of it to turn it on or off. This sounds like a good idea, but in use I found it rather irritating as you need to move your hand in just the ...

Vargo Ti-Lite Mug 2009

£32.00

The Vargo Ti-Lite Mug is a titanium 750ml pot and lid combo that is extremely lightweight and compact provides outstanding performance for the weight and packed size. The pot comes with a mesh stuffsack that weighs 14g if you are counting! But one pot and lid limits use to pretty basic cooking. The lid slips off a bit easily too. ...

EFX Portable Solar Charger

£35.00

At just 148g, this is the lightest solar panel we looked at, but it is also the one with the least features, so does it boast enough to make it a worthwhile purchase? It comes with a USB output slot and a small removable fold-down stand at the back. Just plug in your USB lead and the juice from this ...

Led Lenser Head Fire Digital Power Chip Camo

£35.00

This headtorch weighs 140g (including batteries); 1 x1.25 watt LED; very bright for the weight; battery pack at back of head for stability and comfort; max burn time 50 hours; 3 x AAA included. But head tilt cannot be tightened if it loosens as it is riveted rather than bolted in place; only one power setting.

The lid has steam holes and a wire handle, while the pot has folding wire handles. The pot comes with a 13g orange stuffsack. But the stuffsack is too tight to ...

Led Lenser Headfire Revolution

£40.00

This headtorch is very unusual due to its variable power facility, which allows you to turn a lever rather than simply switching between power settings. I found this very easy to use and it provided a good level of light that was ideal for general walking and camping. It’s also very lightweight at 130g, and beautifully finished. The head tilt ...
