Teko Light Hiking

£12.00

Cool, incredibly soft and held their position perfectly when pulling boots on and off. Kept feet at an even temperature, drier than most and didn’t smell at all. Tough enough.Contact: 08000 323505, www.anatom.co.uk

Tatonka Hot and Cold

£13.00

This flask offers superb performance, relatively light weight and a great price for what you get. The screw top has a slot down the side to allow easy pouring, while the lid can be used as a cup and has a plastic lining to prevent sore lips. You get instructions on the box too. This is a great flask that ...

Vango Non Stick Cook Kit One Person 2009

£13.00

If you cook real food rather than heat up water to hydrate a packet meal then the Vango Non Stick Cook Kit One Person pan set is ideal. You get two pots, 0.7 and 0.9 litres, and two lids, plus a frying pan and plastic cup. The steel pans have non-stick surfaces too. There is no pan grip, but the ...

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 ...

Lowe Alpine Lightweight DryFlo Bra

£20.00

The most simple designs are often the best. The closed seam darts of this racer back sports bra, which cup the breasts, and a wide stretchy chest strap, provide comfortable shaped support for walking and more. The front is opaque and the design is definitely crop-top rather than bra, allowing it to be worn as a top, plus it has ...

Source Widepac 2010

£20.00

Source makes similar bladders for at least two other outdoor companies (Deuter and Kathmandu) but keeps the best design features for itself. The Widepac offers an upgraded bite valve that twists easily to allow or prevent the flow of water. It has a brilliant sliding closure that is exceptionally easy to use and very secure. You can remove the hose ...

Vango Stainless Steel Cook Kit 2 Person 2009

£23.00

Designed for two who like to cook proper food, the Vango Stainless Steel Cook Kit 2 Person cook set has one frying pan, two pots (0.9 and 1.4 litres with lids) and two plastic cups. The pans are made from stainless steel but the bases are copper to improve heat conduction and use less fuel. They pack together neatly inside ...

Pure Lime Support Bra

£29.00

This is the comfiest sports bra I’ve used. It uses super-soft fabric to create a seamless, moulded-cup sports bra that provides the right amount of support for walking and more. The mesh panel between the breasts provides ventilation without being transparent, and the Tactel Aquator fabric wicks sweat efficiently and dries quickly. The fully adjustable straps are wider over the ...

Salomon Vertigo Shorts

£30.00

Made from actiLITE Tech nylon, these were noticeably the lightest shorts we reviewed, making them an ideal extra to throw in your sack if the weather looks promising. They have a sun protection factor of UPF 50 and benefit from draw-string adjustment at the waist (ideal if you shed a few pounds on a long distance path). Simple, but all ...

Berghaus GTX Gaiter 2010

£30.00

Unlike the more traditional elasticated cuff design, Berghaus has opted for a tapered fit with its GTX Gaiter, which means no bunching of excess fabric when you tighten the easy-to-use drawcord. For me these were the best fit of all the gaiters we tested. The design makes for a close fit that I found was perfect, despite the gaiters not ...

MSR Pocket Rocket

£30.00

The Pocket Rocket is ridiculously small and impossibly light, making it an extremely attractive camping stove for anyone who likes to travel with a minimal pack. It is very similar in this respect to some other stoves, but it beats these mainly because of the excellent price. Performance wise it is excellent, bringing a pan to the boil in just ...

Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket

£33.00

This waterproof jacket is a former winner of the children’s waterproofs reviews in Trail, and it’s still a modern classic that is very hard to beat. Firstly check the price and then look at the features you get. There is a waterproof and breathable fabric with a mesh lining, so it should be comfy. You get a chest pocket as ...

Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket 2008

£33.00

A regular winner of Trail reviews of kids’ jackets, the Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket is still very hard to beat. It’s made from a good waterproof and breathable fabric with a mesh lining, so it should be comfy. The chest pocket and lower pockets are all zipped, with stormflaps to keep the rain out. The front zip gets a large, ...

ICEBREAKER ATLAS HALF-ZIP

£40.00

Review: The midweight merino wool feels soft and comfortable against the skin and offers plenty of stretch for easy movement. Collar feels snug, warm and very cosy. However, while the body is ideal for moisture management and warmth, it’s a little too figure-hugging for casual use. Couldn’t fault the Atlas on the hill. It seemed to have a wider temperature ...

Divide and Conker Men’s T-shirt

£40.00

Natural fibre base layers are increasingly popular because of their ability to deal with moisture and help control temperature, their antimicrobial properties and their downright comfort. Made by newcomers Divide and Conker, this is a heavier merino wool T-shirt than the two others we looked at, but for sheer comfort it was our favourite T-shirt  and we rated it ‘Best ...

Lowe Alpine Hot Grip

£40.00

This winter glove offers everything most hill-walkers will want if they prefer a built-in liner rather than a removable liner. The Hot Grip benefits from a very durable palm made from leather that looks ideal for withstanding the rigours of scrambling and roped climbing. The back of the hand and fingers is protected with cushioning to resist knocks when ice ...

GoSystem Thermo Pro

£40.00

For the price you get a fair whack of camping stove with the Thermo Pro, and the speed at which it will bring a pan of water to the boil is right up there with the best. It’s extremely straightforward (apart from that windshield – see below), with three wide pan supports that click out into place with ease. That ...

Montane Dragonfly Shirt 2009

£40.00

Some base layers we looked at were designed to cover a number of activities – including skiing and yachting. But the Montane Dragonfly Shirt has obviously been designed for UK walking. Utilising two grades of Polartec Powerdry fabric, the back and arms get high-wicking fabric while the chest and underarms get a stretchier weave, which is tough and enables excellent ...

Keela Simpson 2010

£40.00

The Keela Simpson is a frequent winner of this category and there is a special limited edition colour available this year: Tyrian Purple (in this colour the Simpson comes with a matching scarf). The price remains the same as last year though, as do the basic features. The full-length zip gets external stormflaps to keep the rain out and there ...

Finisterre Eddy

£40.00

The Eddy base-layer is amazing because it just won’t smell. Even after a few long days in the hills, there was barely a whiff – a feature that will be fairly high on the agenda for many women in the outdoors! The fabric is luxuriously soft, clinging to the body like a glove to trap warmth and wick away sweat. ...

There is a full-length zip, and the chest pocket and lower pockets are all get zipped ...

Outdoor Designs Summit Mitt Pro

£40.00

This mitt one its first award from Trail magazine back in November 2002, and for many walkers it's been their favourite mitt ever since. Firstly, it costs £20 some competitors and for your cash you are getting a good waterproof and breathable shell that benefits from a leather palm for extra durability. The fingers and thumb are well-shaped to provide a good fit. ...

Jack Wolfskin Hoggar Shorts

These rugged trekking shorts offer an excellent compromise between light weight and durability, with lots of useful features for the hill: a waistbelt, side pockets, UPF 40 sun protection and an extra comfort zone around the waist. With a slightly longer cut these were among our favourites on the hill and are definitely at the top of our, ahem, short-list, ...
