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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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. ...

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 ...

Jack Wolfskin Hoggar Shorts

£40.00

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket 2009

£40.00

A superb choice for kids heading outdoors, the Keela Simpson Advanced Jacket is a frequent winner of Trail awards. The fabric is waterproof and breathable, and feels robust enough to cope with scuffs and scrapes. The mesh lining adds a little extra comfort too. There is a full-length zip, and the chest pocket and lower pockets are all get zipped ...

Anquet Coast to Coast (Wainwright) 2010

£45.00

Anquet has always stolen a march with its 3D manipulation. So if you prefer to plan your adventures with some realism rather than through the abstract world of 2D then this is the package for you. It might take a bit of time to get to grips with but once you get your head round the interface it proves to ...

Berghaus Women’s Freeflow III

£45.00

This 25-litre daysack from Berghaus uses the Freeflow concave back system, which is very comfortable and keeps you cool, even with a full load. We liked the dedicated women’s harness with its close-fitting, soft and narrow shoulder straps, and padded hip belt. A roomy main compartment and drawcord opening make the Freeflow easy to pack, and there are plenty of ...

Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Stretch

£47.00

Made from a tough polyamide/spandex blend, the Kiwi Pros feel as agile and comfortable as the name suggests. The fabric is lightweight and stretches easily with leg movement for maximum comfort and agility on tough hillwalks. They’ve also been treated with Craghoppers SolaDry sun protection, and a water-repellent finish which will make sure they stay dry in a shower. And ...

Marmot Invincible Pant

£50.00

This is an updated version of a walking trouser that I have been lounging about in since October 2003, when I reviewed the original design. The new version has a wider ankle cuff and generally cooler styling. The fabric is the same bombproof Ironwear N700 with Touch Dry finish, which has proved to be tougher than any jeans without losing ...

The North Face W TKA 200 Full Zip

£50.00

This midweight women’s fleece from The North Face is very, very comfortable – it might even feel like wearing a second skin! It has a streamlined, contoured fit with close-fitting arms and a soft, high collar to bury your chin into. It’s light, too, and warm, and although the cuffs don’t have elastic, they pull up easily. The huge handwarmer ...

Columbia Intrepid PT 200 Full Zip

£50.00

This midweight fleece from Columbia could be made to measure, and when it comes to insulation layers, fit makes a lot of difference. The collar is the perfect height and snug without being tight, while the elasticated cuffs can be pulled up and down without losing their shape. The Classic Polartec 200 fabric is lovely and soft, too. With such ...

Brasher Chichon 2010

The Chichon has won this test for a number of years and I have not heard of anyone having problems with it either. So it appears to be well-proven. It has a waterproof lining and is built to take plenty of use and abuse while offering excellent protection for children heading for rougher terrain.  But a full leather upper would ...

Lowe Alpine Mettle Tech Pant

£55.00

These are very lightweight walking trousers. The fabric is not quite as ‘cottony’ as some, but it is far cooler than some dedicated mountain trousers. The fabric does not stretch, so you get a diamond crotch to increase freedom of movement. The fabric feels reasonably durable, too, for mountain use. An unusual feature is mesh vents inside the articulated knees. ...
