This headtorch weighs just 112g (including batteries); exceptionally low price; 2 or 4 LED power output; tilting head with screw adjustment; max burn time 80 hours.

Wynnster 3 LED + 1 Krypton Headtorch

£8.00

This headtorch weighs just 132g (including batteries); three power settings plus flash; ratchet head tilt with adjustable screws; 3 x AAA included; max burn time 100 hours. But very low battery life unless on almost useless 1 LED setting; not very stable on head due to design; others are lighter for similar or better performance.

£10.00

The Highlander Capella 12 LED Headlamp weighs 134g; 10 x white LED, 2x red LED; 3 white LED power modes plus red strobe; uses 3 x AAA batteries (not supplied). But the front black rubber housing on head rotates and falls off too easily; too easy to fit batteries incorrectly; poor amount of instructions and information provided.

Outdoor Designs Boojum Bladder 2 litre

£10.00

This hydration system is made from a double layer of PU and crackproof-tested down to -20 deg C. The screw cap is compatible with Nalgene water bottles and therefore also many water purification systems. The large cog grip screw cap can be easily opened wearing gloves too. The system did not leak and the water tasted okay, although it wasn’t ...

Silverpoint Ozone

£10.00

This headtorch weighs just 112g; 3 x LED; windup power supply; two power settings plus flash; superb price. But not as bright as others; relatively unstable due to size of unit on forehead; mounting of torch to headstrap is not as slick as other parts of the design; heavier than some others with batteries; max burn is 90 minutes with ...

Alpkit Gamma (2012)

£13.00

Alpkit is well-known for providing great kit at incredible prices, although the drawback is that you can only buy the gear direct from the brand, so you won’t find this headtorch in your local outdoor store. The Gamma has a main LED that punches out a good beam of light, but it is not as clean or as wide as ...

Wynnster 12 LED Head Torch

£13.00

This headtorch weighs just 120g (including batteries); 4, 8 or 12 LED power settings plus flash; ratchet head tilt system; superb price for the performance; 3 x AAA included; max burn time 30 hours. But battery case not quite as easy to open with cold and wet hands as some; low burn time; quite a large unit on the forehead.

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 ...

GoSystem Trek Mate

£18.00

This is a dead simple, practical camping stove; curved pan supports offer good stability; small packed size; piezo ignition; exceptional value; light. But the carry box is too big. Boil time 3min 13sec Weight 188g

Highlander Bamboo Base Layer 2009

£18.00

The Highlander Bamboo Base Layer weighs 174g (men’s S); closer fit; superb price; excellent wicking abilities; very comfy; soft fabric with a generous cut at rear and plenty of stretch; bamboo fabric has natural antibacterial properties to reduce odour. But its simple styling won’t appeal to everyone; no zip; black colour (blue for women) not ideal in the sun. (01506) ...

Markill Aquarius Trinksystem 2.5litre

£18.00

This hydration system comes with a cleaning brush and excellent instructions printed on the bladder. The bladder has a rolltop closure making filling and cleaning very easy, but you can also fill it through the screw joint between feeder pipe and bladder. No leakage developed during the weighted test. The taste of the water was also top quality. I also ...

£20.00

This headtorch weighs 160g (including batteries); 1 x 0.5 watt LED; red light on back of head; 1 power setting plus flash; excellent ratcheted head tilt; 3 x AAA included. But limited choice of light; low burn time of max 11 hours; relatively weak light compared to higher-priced options; battery pack not very comfortable.

Keela ADS Long Sleeve Zip Top 2009

£20.00

The Keela ADS Long Sleeve Zip Top base layer is a steal at the price; if it was a tenner more it would still be a bargain. Keela is very good at backing up its fine reputation for affordable quality, and this base layer is a great example of a basic yet does-the-job piece of kit which outperforms many comparable ...

Yaktrax Pro (2012)

£22.00

The Yaktrax Pros have steel coils that wrap around a rubber cradle along the base, and it is these coils that provide the grip. Fitting is very easy as you simply stretch them over your footwear from toe to heel. They benefit from a Velcro strap across the top, which helps to keep them in place on more uneven ground ...

Markill Hot Shot

£25.00

This stove weighs 140g (+ gas); boil time 2 min 50 sec to 4 min 50 sec; folding design makes it compact when packed; 11cm diameter pan support; piezo electric ignition; excellent price. But not as stable as lower-profile stoves; best boil time is only available with fresh gas canister; heavy compared to other options.

Lifesystems Intensity 80 (2012)

£25.00

On first appearances the Lifesystems Intensity 80 looks very much like the Alpkit Gamma, but it has some important differences. Primarily the Intensity 80 has a motion sensor that allows you to wave your hand across the front of the headtorch to turn it on and off. The benefit of this is that it makes it extremely easy to operate ...

Petzl Spiky (2012)

£26.00

The Petzl Spiky is the most basic option when it comes to providing grip on snow or ice. There are six carbon steel spikes attached to a rubber sock. Fitting them is a doddle as you just dip the toe of the shoe into the front and then stretch them over the heel of the shoe. There are cutouts in ...

Coleman Multi-Colour LED Headlamp (2012)

£30.00

I particularly liked the rotating control knob on the Coleman Multi-colour LED Headlamp as it made switching between settings a doddle. You get three power settings from the main white LED; however this provides a very narrow beam of light, which is not as useful when hillwalking or camping as the broader beams provided by other torches. There’s also a ...

Peter Storm Merino Base Layer Crew (2012)

£30.00

A really lightweight merino base-layer, with a bit of added polyester. It feels great next to the skin – soft, itch-free and not too tight – and even though the fabric is quite thin, it does a great job of trapping warmth. As you’d expect from a combination of polyester and merino, it’s very breathable and wicks away sweat really ...

Tibetan Titanium 700 Mug/Pot 2009

£30.00

With a capacity of 700ml the Tibetan Titanium 700 Mug/Pot is a one-person option. The stuffsack weighs 18g while the pan and lid come in at 106g, making it the lightest here. The lid has steam holes and a wire handle while the pot has folding wire handles. But the handles are not protected with plastic, and there are no ...

Lowe Alpine Lightweight DryFlo Zipneck 2009

£30.00

Lowe Alpine has excelled at producing base layers for many years, and the Lightweight Dryflo Zipneck is a fine exponent of this high quality. It’s exceptionally good at wicking away sweat, utilising different grades of polyester weave on the inside and outside of the fabric to draw moisture to the outside surface. The garment has an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) ...

Grivel Spider (2012)

£30.00

The instep crampon has been the traditional solution to walking on frozen ground without using full crampons, and the Grivel Spider has been available for many years. It comes in one size and fits most footwear due to its simple frame, which is strapped to the instep of the shoe. Screwed into the frame are 10 spikes that are 1cm ...

But diagonal neck zip is not ideal for use with a rucksack and does not aid venting; only comes ...

Peter Storm Merino Base Layer Top (2012)

£30.00

A lightweight, unfussy top that combines merino and polyester fibres to help keep the costs down whilst benefiting from the properties of both materials. It does wick away sweat well, and it dries fast, however it is thin, and is better-suited to warmer conditions or with more layers on top. Against the skin there is enough merino in contact to ...
