GoSystem Trail Classic

£10.00

This is a basic camping stove that just gets on with the job and doesn’t bother with the frills… and I love it. Its clean, simple design is easy to fathom, you get a decent burner that kicks out plenty of heat, it’s small and light and comes with a carry box containing a ‘stove first aid kit’ (O rings ...

CamelBak Omega Hydrotanium Reservoir

£22.00

CamelBak is a well-proven hydration system brand, so not surprisingly this unit breezed through our taste test and leak test without any problems. There’s an antimicrobial Hydroguard treatment that eliminates up to 99% of bacteria and fungus, with a taste-free PureFlow liner to keep the water drinkable. The large screw cap allows easy filling, and you get strong suspension holes ...

The North Face Toat Q4 (M FLS S/S Crew Neck)

£23.00

This is a super-light, 68g (men’s size L)  top that delivers a close fit, relatively long length and flatlocked seams to keep comfort levels high. It’s ideal for lightweight enthusiasts and as it packs down small it makes for a good back-up layer in your rucksack.

Icebreaker Bodyfit 150 Atlas

£30.00

Merino wool is a great natural fibre, and if you like fitted, lightweight T-shirts then this is a great buy. Icebreaker makes some excellent, easier-fitting tops that require a less athletic build. But this is an excellent top that’s great all year. Made in China, it’s the cheapest merino wool offering here, combining top-quality and excellent value.

Petzl Tikka Plus

£30.00

The Petzl Tikka Plus headtorch is a well-established classic. It is exceptionally lightweight at just 78g, yet it provides a superb level of light that is ideal for camping and walking. The batteries fit directly behind the lights and there is one button to control the three power settings plus flash. The maximum light beam is 32m according to the ...

Gelert X-Treme Lite 800

£35.00

This synthetic sleeping bag from Gelert is only 800g, much less than many competitors, and also rather short. It doesn’t have a shoulder baffle, so is really only warm enough for summer or two-season use, but it has a nice hood with a drawcord closure. The soft feel of the nylon shell is good, too.

PARAMO CAMBIA ZIP-NECK

£35.00

Review: Good length sleeves and hem, and the double-sided fabric feels soft and has plenty of give in it. Cuffs are a bit baggy, though. A reversible top with one side providing more warmth and the other better moisture management. The latter performed better, wicking superbly and drying slightly quicker than the winner. Smellier and not as warm, though. VITAL ...

Trangia Trangia

£40.00

The Trangia is one of the most eternally popular camping stoves on the market, although it’s not to everyone’s taste. It is extremely simple, can’t go wrong and comes complete with a set of two pans, a frying pan that doubles as a lid, plus a perforated handle. It’s nearly impossible to knock over too. The built-in windshield makes it ...

Petzl Tikka XP

£40.00

A classic headtorch that is very lightweight at 106g. It also has three power settings plus flash and boost to 50m. This selection of settings is ideal for walkers and campers, and prevents over-use of battery power as the boost setting is only available while your finger is on the dedicated button. There is also a ‘power remaining’ indicator that ...

Grivel Munro

£40.00

This ice axe has been Trail’s favourite ice axe for the last couple of years and it continues to set the pace on the slopes this winter. It wins as it would be very difficult to equip an ice axe any better for the typical British winter walker. You get the basic set of features that all winter walkers need ...

Páramo Maui Cargo Shorts 2011

£47.00

You cannot beat a massive, practical pocket in a pair of shorts, and the Páramo Maui Cargo Shorts get two of them! On each leg there is a cavernous pocket that allows you to easily stash an OS map and a small guidebook with space to spare. There is a dedicated mobile phone pocket too. You also get a pair ...

Rohan Bags

£49.00

These walking trousers from Rohan don’t have an elasticated waist or a belt., but they do have easily adjustable leg-lengths. The poly/cotton fabric feels comfy on the skin and they are easy to move in. Windproof, durable and amazingly rain-resistant, the Bags are ideal year-round trousers, especially if you prefer plain styles to zip-offs. Good choice of pockets, with room ...

Vango Sherpa

£50.00

This is a 41-50 litre rucksack that is better suited to backpacking rather than day walking. This is not a bad thing, as what it does, it does very well. The back system is not only fully adjustable, but it also lengthens for a more precise fit. The pack can be compressed from both the sides and the base, and ...

Berghaus Arête 45 2008

£50.00

The Arête 45 is a wonderfully simple and functional rucksack, and at only 1045g it deserves to be high on the wants list of anyone heading to the hills. The sack has a simple padded back system, hipbelt and shoulder straps that allow you to throw it on your back and forget about it. The back is stiff enough to ...

These sandals from Merrell are an entirely synthetic offering that soon settle down to give a reassuringly secure ride. Three adjustment points make it easy to get the fit right. Very light, too. Secure, stable and perfect for most summer walking on good trails. Remove the rear strap and you have a top beach shoe. The midsole is just right ...

Vaude Triset Ultralight 35 2009

£55.00

If you want to go lighter, try this slim-fitting rucksack with a well-vented back. At 775g the Vaude Triset Ultralight 35 is almost as light as the OMM Classic Marathon 32, but features a more complex back system and comfy mesh hipbelt that’s useful if you really can’t bear back sweat. The curved mesh back doesn’t eat into the main ...

Vaude Triset 35 + 8

£55.00

This daysack from Vaude has adjustable shoulder straps that help it to mould sweetly around your back, and the Aeroflex concave back system is cool and comfortable. You hardly know you’re carrying it, even when full, and the padded waist belt is excellent. This is a roomy pack, but the compression straps make it easy to tighten everything down when ...

The North Face Terra 35

£60.00

This daysack from The North Face fits well and you’ll enjoy carrying it. But it needed careful packing when very full, as it is easily pushed out of shape so that the actual back of the pack makes contact with you, rather than the foam padding. The Terra is a good size for weekend trips, and the choice of pockets, ...

Marmot Scree 2009

£60.00

The price of these Scree trousers is great. Marmot’s best-selling soft shell pants are very stretchy, light (411g) and arguably serve as well on UK and Alpine walks, scrambles and climbs as the TNF and ME equivalents at £30-40 more. Having said this, Marmot uses its most breathable soft shell material –for high aerobic use in mild conditions – so ...

Berghaus Freeflow 30 + 6

£60.00

The re-designed Freeflow rucksack has a longish back that fits perfectly. The padding is also spot-on for a pack of this size – comfy without being over-elaborate. We loved the ultra-breathable EVA breathe-mesh shoulder straps – they really do feel cool and dry – and there’s plenty of up and down adjustment in the chest strap. Difficult to fault, even ...

Berghaus Freeflow III 35 + 8

£60.00

This daysack from Berghaus is very comfortable. You’ll hardly notice you’re carrying it – even when fully loaded – which says a lot about the Freeflow back system. However, it does carry the load away from the back, which can affect stability. The 35+8-litre capacity sounds huge, and it’s superbly featured, with everything you could wish for, including excellent pockets ...

Osprey Stratos 24

This daysack from Osprey benefits from a long, slim shape, and the Aircore concave back system feels incredibly comfortable, no matter what the load. Excellent padding on the hips and shoulder straps. It seems huge for its claimed 24 litres, and is really easy to pack due to the long main compartment zip. The pockets aren’t quite as good as ...

Páramo Explorer Pull On

Typically of Páramo, this fleece mid layer is dedicated to being functional on the hill. At around 484g it is reasonably lightweight. It can also be worn inside-out if you find it a little too warm. The fabric is very durable and wind-resistant, and will keep light drizzle at bay too. It is a smock design, which allows a large ...

Primus Eta Express

£60.00

The Eta Express is the one-person version of the Eta Power stove, and both are superbly efficient thanks to their use of a heat exchanger on the base of the pan. In fact, the burner on the Eta Express is identical to the Primus Express with ignition unit, so it’s the pans that are key and they manage to deliver ...

Firstly it has a waterproof upper, thanks to its eVent lining. The toe box is very stiff, so it will provide good protection on rocky ground. Underfoot ...
