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 ...

Alpkit Gamma 2010

£15.00

Alpkit is well-known for providing incredible value for money, and so it is perhaps no surprise that the Gamma’s performance matches that of many headtorches costing twice the price. You get a battery pack at the back of the head and the red LED is fitted here. This can be set on strobe or as a red light. The front ...

Gelert Ascent

£15.00

These Gelert Ascent trekking poles have only two sections, which makes for a longer (more bulky) pack-down size. But this also means they’re less prone to slipping than some. With a comfortable handle and reasonable weight, this is a bargain pole for all but the very serious hillwalker. Two-section design makes them easier to adjust and tighten. Adequate performance and ...

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 ...

Source Widepac hydration system

£17.00

This Source Widepac hydration system opens at the top, making it easy to fill and clean, and closes securely with an excellent, easy-to-use slider. Nice detachable hose, too. This Source Widepac delivers big gulps of taste-free water and the cap on the mouthpiece keeps it clean. Needs a shut-off valve for full marks.Contact: 015395 60214, www.bramwell-int.com

Platypus Big Zip Hoser

£21.00

One of the original hydration system brands, the Platypus Big Zip Hoser uses three-layer laminate to add extra durability, while the taste was among the best. The bite valve can be locked closed to prevent drips. The zip opening allows easy cleaning and filling, and it survived our 20kg test. But there are no suspension loops, so the hydration system ...

Markill Hotshot

£22.00

Review: This camping stove is good value; one of fastest boil times on test; piezo ignition; very small. But very heavy for its size. Boil time: 2min 25sec Weight: 210g

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.

Eurohike Revolution Aqua 25

£25.00

The Eurohike Revolution Aqua 25 unisex rucksack has a pretty basic padded back system, which feels comfy enough, but the shallow grooves don’t really encourage much airflow, so it does get warm. The Eurohike Revolution Aqua 25 has well-padded hip and shoulder straps and comes with a waterproof-lined main compartment and lid, and a rain cover. Great in a downpour, ...

Coleman F1 Lite

£25.00

This camping stove is excellent value; lightest stove we tested; fantastic boil time; packs very small. But arms very flimsy and bend easily; very fiddly to put together. Boil time: 2min 37sec Weight: 76g

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 ...

Eurohike Hydra 25+5 rucksack

£30.00

The Hydra features a totally waterproof main compartment which seals with a roll-top in a similar way to a dry bag. This is obviously useful in bad weather, but it’s a bit over the top for general use, adding weight and also making the main compartment fiddly to access. It’s a fairly comfortable pack, with a good channelled back system ...

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 ...

Camelbak Classic hydration bladder

£30.00

The Camelbak Classic hydration system is housed inside a mini backpack, making it convenient to carry. The Camelbak Classic bladder is easy to clean and fill up, but the screw thread is a little awkward. The reservoir itself is tough and provides taste-free water. A bite-valve dispenses huge satisfying gulps. However, you can’t buy the bladder separately from the pack. ...

Regatta Geo III Zip-Off

£30.00

These zip-off trousers from Regatta were comfy to wear and had a good elastic waistband, although the legs are a little short. They have quite a relaxed cut, which is a little loose, but the soft, lightweight fabric is excellent. The Geos are great to walk in, with plenty of useful pockets. The fabric is fairly water-resistant and quick drying, ...

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 ...

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 Classic Kiwi Zip-Offs

£40.00

Quite a traditional fit with a high waist and wide hips, the Kiwi comes with belt loops and a part-elasticated waist for comfort. The polycotton fabric is soft, yet tough and hard-wearing, repelled water well and offered lots of wind resistance. They took longer than some to dry, though. There is a huge array of pockets, including a large cargo ...

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 ...

Lowe Alpine Micro Grid

£40.00

This lightweight fleece from Lowe Alpine was a snug fit next to the skin, but a little tight when worn over a lighter base- layer. The collar is a good height and fit, and the elasticated cuffs were easy to pull up and didn’t go baggy. This is a basic top with a medium-length zip and no pockets. The Aleutian ...

Optimus Terra Pan Set 2009

£40.00

The Optimus Terra Pan Set’s neoprene casing can be used to keep cooked food warm while one pot is on the burner. The 1.65 litre pot and frying pan/lid are Teflon-coated and have circular grooves on the base so they grip a stove support better. The 1.70 litre pot is plain aluminium. The plastic pan grip fits and handles all ...
