Craghoppers Kiwi Cargo & Kiwi Makino

£40.00

These are classic walking trousers that are well-proven winners on and off the fell. Made from polycotton, so they are fast-drying, lightweight and reasonably durable, the Kiwi Cargo is a more stylish version of the standard Kiwi. The women’s version is the Kiwi Makino, which has a lower waistline than most. You get loads of pockets including two map-sized hip ...

Craghoppers Kiwi Winter Lined

£40.00

These Craghoppers’ Kiwi Winter Lined pants offer a superb fit and a good length; the elasticated waist is backed up with a webbing belt. The fleecy lining is very soft and feels great against the skin. The Kiwis are basically a lined version of a year-round trouser and although they provide plenty of insulation and keep the wind out, they’re ...

Coleman Rigel X2 tent (2008)

£80.00

ReviewA very lightweight tent that saves a few grams by incorporating the stuffsack into the groundsheet. Also the pegs are very short, but mainly it is the single-skin design that reduces weight. Pitching is very fast as there are just two poles, which slip through mesh sleeves on the outer. There is a mesh vent in the roof that can ...

The North Face Hedgehog XCR

£80.00

Good midsole support, which will be appreciated on rougher ground. Fitwise, they are made around an average last, and they have plenty of padding. There is an odd ridge running down the centre of the footbed, though, and this felt very disconcerting. In action, the very low ankle encourages fast movement but doesn’t offer as much support as most shoes ...

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 ...

Berghaus Cornice/Glissade

£160.00

This is a well-proven general purpose waterproof that is good for hill-walking as well as general travel and walking the dog. It is made from the new Gore-Tex Performance Shell fabric, which has good performance for the price. A wide brushed polyester collar lining adds valuable comfort, as does a mesh lining. This is a longer jacket than most, and ...

Paramo Cascada

£180.00

A great fit with well-designed sleeves and a good combination of Velcro and elastic at the cuffs. Hem and waist drawcords help fine-tune fit and hood was easy to adjust. Comfort-wise, it’s hard to knock the Cascada, which is cut from a wonderfully soft and rustle-free fabric making it a real pleasure to wear. Good breathability, making it really pleasant ...

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 ...
