Trailwise Snolock Gaiter (2012)

£25.00

With a price tag that’s half that of some other options, the Trailwise Snolock Gaiter is clearly good value. It is made from cotton duck (better known as canvas), a woven cotton fabric. As it is not as breathable as some other fabrics it can get a bit clammy, but so do most gaiters, so this is arguably not a ...

Extremities Nova Gaiter(2012)

£45.00

The Extremities Nova Gaiter is a well-proven design made of Gore-Tex fabric with extra reinforcement around the ankle for added durability. Unlike many gaiters featured here, on this one you get a front zip and Velcro closure with press studs at the top and bottom. For me I find this slightly easier to fit than the Velcro-only designs, but I ...

Rohan Snowgaiters (2012)

£40.00

The Snowgaiter is made from Rohan’s Barricade waterproof and breathable fabric, which the brand also features in its popular range of travel clothing. The fabric has some stretch to allow a closer fit and there is some reinforcement at the ankle area to improve durability too, but others are more robust in this area. The gaiter comes in just one ...

Rab Latok Alpine (2012)

£35.00

Designed for mountain walking and alpine climbing, Rab Latok Alpine gaiters feature a 3-layer stretch eVent fabric. The stretch element allows them to provide a snug fit, which is comfortable while not restricting calf muscle flex. The use of eVent limits condensation build-up well. There’s also a nice big chunk of Cordura on the ankle to prevent wear and tear ...

Berghaus GTX Gaiter (2012)

£35.00

As the name suggests, the Berghaus GTX Gaiter is made from Gore-Tex, and it benefits from a nice large area of tougher material around the ankle cuff. It also comes in two leg lengths so there is more chance it will fit you. At the back of the leg is a stretch panel, which should improve the fit further. When ...

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 ...

Trekmates Dry Softshell (2012)

£30.00

In the case of the Trekmates Dry Softshell, ‘Softshell’ means waterproof and breathable fabric that is soft and stretchy. This softness makes these gaiters extremely comfy to wear from a fabric perspective. The gaiter is shorter than most, and this will be a benefit or a drawback depending on how long your legs are (I’d prefer an extra 5cm on ...

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 ...

Trekmates Peak Walker (2012)

£30.00

The spring system on these anti-shock poles is a little stiffer than many others to begin with, but will soften up a little after prolonged use. The stiffer spring does make them quieter than some other, softer anti-shocks. The handgrips aren’t the best, using a hard plastic that can be a little uncomfortable after prolonged use, becoming a little sweaty. ...
