Asolo Flame GTX

£120.00

Well padded at the ankle cuff and tongue, without being over the top, and the speed lacing system is effective and easy to use, producing a stable fit every time. On the heavy side, but easy to move in, and nimble, too. The stiff midsole excels on rougher ground, yet the boots are just as pleasant to wear around local ...

Rab Belay Jacket

This insulated jacket is filled with Primaloft Sport, the currently popular fast-drying, lightweight and efficient synthetic insulator. A water-resistant Pertex Endurance outer fends off the damp. Weighing in at just 642g (including a16g stuffsack) for a size large, this is the sort of garment that you won’t mind carrying from autumn through winter and into spring, which is essential as ...

Raichle Mount Trail GTX

£140.00

This 3-season boot took 4th place back in TrailApril 06. It benefits from a Gore-Tex waterproof lining to guarantee dry feet, and that higher level of waterproofness makes this ideal for those walking day after day in very wet conditions. Like all the top-end Raichle boots this offers much of what most walkers will want. So you get a very ...

Salomon Quest 4D GTX

£145.00

A great looking boot with decent rubber bumpers at the toe and heel to keep them looking fresh. The narrow heel and comparatively wide forefoot gives them an incredibly secure feel, and this, coupled with an excellent lacing system, means your feet stay comfortably in place, even on steep descents. Out in the hills, they performed impeccably – the sole ...

Raichle/Mammut Mtn. Trail GTX 2009

£150.00

There is actually very little between this and the Scarpa Trek, but for the same price the Mountain Trail also gets a Gore-Tex lining. This was a Raichle boot, but the brand has been absorbed by Mammut so you may see it badged as either. The boot is based around a simple nubuck leather upper without lots of stitching to ...

Mountain Equipment Lightline

£150.00

This is a very warm duvet jacket, and it’s warmer than most others. It incorporates 250g of down insulation, and the shell is very water-resistant. The collar is also fleeced-lined. There is a little extra reinforcement on the sleeves and shoulders for extra durability. You get a removable hood too, which fitted well and had plenty of insulation. The two ...

Asolo Powermatic 500 GTX

£155.00

The cuff of the Asolo Powermatic 500 GTX may rub slightly on your lower shin at first, but this soon softens, making them very comfortable indeed. They are quite narrow at the toe, but lace up easily, so eliminating any toe banging. They out-perform the competition with a crampon on, but lose out by a whisker for general high-level walking. ...

Terra Nova Laser Competition 2009

£260.00

The Terra Nova Laser Competition is the lightest tent in the test, with a packed size so small that you hardly notice it in your rucksack. Internal space is very good, enough length for my six foot frame (or two skinny adventure racers) to lie down and sit up straight as well. The porch is huge, and all my gear ...

Mountain Equipment Kongur

£260.00

The Kongur has won Trail’s winter jacket test for the past two years and for me it is still the best, particularly as it now comes with new Pro Shell fabric and as a consequence less weight. The jacket has a little more length than many here, making it ideal for remaining protected from a winter storm. The front zip ...

Satmap Active 10

£300.00

If you like design you’ll love this GPS receiver. Even the box oozes quality, with a clever retractable housing that instantly sets a new standard of packaging. Grab the Active 10, insert the supplied batteries and in minutes the screen illuminates with an impressive colour map with your location clearly marked. I dabbled with the six buttons and toggle before ...

Vaude Power Lizard UL 2010

£350.00

Is light always right? It’s easy to make a tent lighter after all. Just make it smaller, ditch the porch and use a single layer of material rather than an inner and an outer. But how light can a tent be if it offers two-person space, a double wall and retains a porch? According to Vaude, the Power Lizard holds ...
