Coleman Exponent Mini Cook Kit 2009

£23.00

The Coleman Exponent Mini Cook Kit is a solo pan set that all packs down neatly into a compact kit that fits inside a mesh stuffsack. You get a 940ml and 590ml pot plus 470ml and 350ml pans that can be used as lids to the pots. The pots and pans all have fold-out handles. But the pan grips are ...

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 ...

Craghoppers Corey

£30.00

Unlike most outdoor companies, Craghoppers has a policy of being carbon-neutral and so with many of the features of this fleece mid layer being similar to many others’, those more ethical credentials give it the edge. At 410g this is reasonably light and the close-knit fabric also makes it a little more windproof than some others, without reducing breathability noticeably. ...

Regatta Chandler II

£30.00

These waterproof trousers from Regatta are a good fit, with a functional drawcord/elastic waist and an easily adjustable Velcro tab at the ankle. The Isotex fabric is lovely and soft and they have a comfy lining, too. Not the best to pack, but offer good waterproofness and breathability. The Isotex fabric is tough.   Colours: Midnight, blackSizes: S-XXLFabric: Isotex (polyester)/polyamide ...

Regatta Invent

£35.00

This windproof fleece from Regatta is a good fit, with just the right amount of room in the arms and body. The high collar is nice, but the cuffs are loose and the lining feels a bit scratchy against the skin. Performs remarkably well for the price. Not as warm and wind-resistant as some, so not suited to really cold ...

Craghoppers Napier

£40.00

These waterproof overtrousers feel quite tough and durable, and they are a reasonable weight too. There’s a choice of leg lengths, which many people will appreciate. They are made from Craghoppers’ own breathable and waterproof fabric. The 45cm long side zip is enough to allow them to fit over boots, and the zip gets an external stormflap to keep the ...

Outdoor Scene Journey

£40.00

These zip-off trousers from Outdoor Scene are on the big and baggy side - luckily they come with an elasticated waist and belt. The poly/cotton fabric feels great. Reasonably shower-proof, wind resistant, and very durable, they’re good all-rounders. There’s a good choice of pockets, including one that can take a map. The zip-off legs increase their versatility.

Technicals Tech Lite 2008

£40.00

The Technicals Tech Lite general-purpose jacket weighs just 450g (women’s 10); low-priced; waterproof/ breathable HydroTec fabric; mesh adds comfort; two large chest pockets can be accessed with a rucksack; fixed hood has reasonable fit and movement; comes with stuffsack; additional chest pocket. But more money brings more waterproof and more breathable materials, features; very short.

Alpkit Carbonlite

£43.00

At just £43 for a pair, this trekking pole is an absolute bargain. But it offers more than just a low price tag, as it also only weighs in at 400g, which is exceptionally lightweight. The low weight comes from the carbon pole shafts, which are intrinsically lightweight as well as being very stiff compared to other poles. They pack ...

Camp Trail Pro 20 rucksack (2008)

£45.00

At 425g this ultralight rucksack is extremely light; external bottle cages; external bungee gear attachment also acts as compression system; padded back system with some stiffness; air-vented shoulder straps; hydration system-compatible; lid pocket; reflective piping. But its capacity is only 20 litres; fabric doesn’t feel very durable; no energy bar pockets on shoulders straps or hipbelt.

Berghaus Injection Pant

£50.00

These general walking trousers from Berghaus are very comfortable to wear, with a relaxed, flattering cut. Unfortunately, the baggy hems pick up lots of dirt on muddy walks, and they also become quite heavy when wet. The tough fabric protects your legs from the wind and keeps you warm in dry conditions. They are comfortable in both warm and cold ...

Blacks Compact Pole (2012)

£50.00

The Blacks Compact Pole is very well-priced, and it also benefits from a reasonable set of features that are also well designed for its price. So you get a three-section pole that weighs in at 470g, which is very reasonable. It packs down to a good size too, so it sits neatly on a rucksack. The length adjustment is the ...

CAMP Neve 2009

£50.00

The CAMP Neve is a simple, stripped-down walking ice axe. The functional adze and pick are well-shaped for chopping steps, daggering and even a bit of front pointing. The pick has a particularly fine profile with a good selection of teeth that will penetrate snow and ice well. The shaft, although lacking a rubber grip, does have a roughened surface ...

Sprayway Hydrolite

£50.00

These waterproof trousers from Sprayway are baggy, but still a decent fit. Good length with elastic/drawcord waist adjustment. The soft, rustle-free Hydrolite fabric stretches slightly, making for easy movement. Excellent waterproofness and breathability. The rugged fabric will also take a few scrapes. The long two-way zips are good, but trousers are a little heavy and bulky.   Colour: BlackSizes: S-XXL ...

Jack Wolfskin Nakina

£50.00

This midweight women’s fleece from Jack Wolfskin has quite a long body, but the soft fabric ensures a fairly good, comfortable fit. The arms might be a little too long, but the high, cosy collar and soft fleece cuffs are impressive. It’s warm, and the handwarmer pockets are a good size, but they’re positioned quite low, so are not that ...

Petzl Charlet Snowalker 2009

£54.00

The Petzl Charlet Snowalker is a beautifully made axe and, as the name suggests, it is ideal for the walker heading to the snow, and therefore great for most British hill-walkers. The shaft is a straight design and the head offers a gentle curve to make it perfect for using as a walking stick in the snow. The balance is ...

Mountain King Super Trekker

£60.00

The Mountain King Super Trekker pole is a good, lightweight pole for the price. Powder-coated lower sections aid grip on rough terrain and there’s a comfy handle and good strap tension. They’re a nice bright colour too, so you won’t lose them in the grass. Lighter than most with good twist-lock mechanism and straps, but you may find them a ...

Lowe Alpine Paradigm Pant

£65.00

These women’s walking trousers are, first and foremost, technical trousers. The waist is elasticated, extra adjustment is provided by a drawcord and there is also a button fly. The pockets are all zipped and a really good size – two hip and one back. The ankle cuff can also be expanded using a zip which will give some adjustment. The ...

Rab Vapour rise Trail Pants

£65.00

These Rab Vapour Rise Trail Pants are so light and soft against the skin it’s easy to forget you’re wearing any! We like the elastic waist, backed up with belt loops, but the Large size is a little too baggy.  These are warm trousers that will keep a short shower or a bit of drizzle at bay and remain comfortable ...

Thaw Treka

£69.00

This midweight women’s fleece from Thaw has a lovely plush feel and relaxed, roomy fit. The non-elasticated fleece cuffs can feel a little baggy and the collar rather tight, though. It’s a very warm fleece otherwise, and the handwarmer pockets are well placed for easy access when wearing a rucksack.

Lowe Alpine Sierra Lite

£70.00

The Sierra Lite does an excellent job of keeping wind and mild rain off, while providing some insulation and great breathability. Unfortunately the jacket is let down by a non-adjustable, very tight cuff which cuts down its versatility, especially when you’re climbing a hill and feel that rolling sleeves up would be enough to cool you down. It’s a shame ...

This soft shell jacket from Karrimor has a collar that’s a little loose, but otherwise fits well, with good-length sleeves, Lycra adjustable cuffs and a drawcord hem. It doesn’t stretch as well as most, though. An impressive fabric, which breathes well and does a good job in snow and showers, but there’s no venting, which makes it a little steamy ...
