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 ...

Vango Deluxe Cork (2012)

£40.00

A decent enough pair of poles that give solid performance for not a huge amount of money. They have an anti-shock system that adds a bounce on the hardest ground, but it’s a little softer than some of the other anti-shocks and bit noisier too. Cork grips offer a nice feel in the hand, with good traction in the wet ...

Vango Deluxe Cork Walking Poles (2012)

£40.00

The handle is one of the most important areas of a trekking pole, as if this is not right then sore hands are almost guaranteed. To improve comfort, the Vango Deluxe Cork Walking Pole has a cork handle, which is not quite as comfy as a softer padded handle, but it is better than a rubber or plastic handle. The ...

Vango Compact Gas Stove 2011

£13.00

There are a lot of very similar direct-mounted gas stoves, but of all of them, the Vango Compact Gas Stove offers the best value for money, while also being reasonably light. The design is fairly standard, with folding pan supports, but you do get a 12cm support diameter, which is a notch better than average. Flame control is good (as ...

Vango Airtek 25 rucksack

£40.00

With an efficient concave, airflow back system and a comfortable, breathable and very adjustable harness, the Airtrek offers superb value for money. It’s not the largest pack, and the split main compartment doesn’t help either, but it has useful pockets in the lid and on the front, and another on the hip belt that’s ideal for a GPS or small ...

Vango Deluxe Cork

£38.00

Good value, budget-end anti-shock poles that perform well on the hill. They have a superb length range from 65cm pack-down to a massive 141cm fully extended and also have some nice features including a comfy cork handles and a small section of grippy foam that extends down the shaft. The anti-shock turns on and off a little too easily and ...

Vango Airvent 25l

£45.00

Comfortable, well-built and bristling with features including a great selection of pockets, a rain cover, and a cool and stable back system. It carried a large load well but struggled a little with smaller ones, as there’s no compression straps to prevent heavier items moving around. Hydration system-compatible, but the port for the hose is so small that it’s necessary ...

Vango Tiree 25 unisex rucksack

£35.00

The Vango Tiree 25 unisex rucksack has a good, channelled back system – comfortable, cool and it holds the load close to your back. The Vango Tiree 25 hip belt is comfy, too, but the shoulder straps feel a little too padded. A good size for day-walks and we like the double lid pocket – useful for separating regularly needed ...

£40.00

ReviewThis ultralight rucksack has a 30 litres capacity; padded back system with well-padded lumbar pad and hipbelt fins; hipbelt pockets; mesh side pockets; compression straps; front elasticated compressor; hydration system-compatible; internal and external lid pockets; excellent value.

Vango Flux 30

£40.00

This 30-40 litre rucksack weighs 900g, which is relatively light; well-padded back system; single lid buckle; mesh side pockets and compression strap; elasticated front compressor; small snow-lock extension; hydration system-compatible; good lid pocket; reinforced base. But the webbing straps are not as smooth-running as pricier options; light fabric not the most durable.

Vango Vacuum Flask

£10.00

This flask kept its contents warm enough. It’s the lightest 1000ml flask in the test with an easy-to-use, glove-friendly pourer that won’t become clogged. The cup also gets a wide plastic liner to stop scalded lips. But you don’t get the best insulating performance, nor are there any instructions for cleaning and pre-heating. Capacity: 1000mlMaterials: stainless steel flask and ...

Vango Airvent 35

£45.00

Unusually, this daysack features a snow lock extension for the mouth of the pack along with a compression strap. This is a really useful, important feature and will prevent rain entering even if you overfill it. The ventilated back system has shoulder straps, a chest strap and hipbelt, which all provide basic adjustment and padding where needed. There are fastenings ...

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.

Vango Airvent 35

£45.00

This daysack from Vango has a nice concave-style back system, and the Airvent is cool and dry to wear and the back-length about ideal. Against it though, the padded hip fins stick up at an odd angle. It’s a robust rucksack that proves tighter on space than some, but is reasonably stable and also has some nice features. A decent ...

Vango Air Ridge

£40.00

This 25-litre daysack from Vango uses the Air Vent back system, which seems quite sparse on padding, but actually feels very comfortable on your back, even when worn over just a base layer, with the broad, well-padded hip belt taking most of the weight. The shoulder straps are contoured and well padded, and the chest strap offers some adjustment. The ...
