Vango Vacuum Flask

£10.00

This flask kept its contents warm enough. It’s the lightest 1000ml flask in the test with an easy-to-use, glove-friendly pourer that won’t become clogged. The cup also gets a wide plastic liner to stop scalded lips. But you don’t get the best insulating performance, nor are there any instructions for cleaning and pre-heating.   Capacity: 1000mlMaterials: stainless steel flask and ...

Result Performance Waterproof 2000 Pro Coach

This lightweight waterproof weighs 468g (size L); polyester mesh lining adds comfort; reflective piping; chest pockets are accessible while wearing a rucksack.But the hood fit and movement is unbelievably bad; higher price will mean more breathable fabric, lighter designs and more features.

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 ...

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 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 ...

Regatta Oki 2008

The Regatta Oki is a simple, functional kids’ jacket made from good material.

Wynnster Braemar

£35.00

These waterproof trousers from Wynnster feel tailor-made, and the soft, lined fabric doesn’t feel like it should be waterproof at all. Elasticated/drawcord waist, but pull tabs on the pocket zips would be good. Copes admirably in bad weather, but fiddlier to pull on than some.   Colours: Navy blue, blackSizes: S-XLFabric: Aquastop (polyester)/nylon taffeta liningWeight: 405gWomen’s version: YesContact: 01372 377713, ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Berghaus Monsoon 2008

Berghaus Deluge Overtrouser

£40.00

These are definitely the best waterproof overtrousers for £40 that we tested. In particular they get a long leg zip, making them very easy to fit over boots. That zip also has a double stormflap with press studs, so it will keep out far more water than an exposed water-resistant zip for example. An even nicer addition is the ability ...

Timberland Youth Eurohiker

£40.00

A full leather upper makes the Timberland Youth Eurohiker children’s boot durable if looked after. The ankle cuff is high enough to keep the worst of the water, mud and grit out, while the supportive heel and toe box are well suited to rougher terrain. The outsole is reasonably aggressive and stiff too, again ideal for rougher terrain. But there ...

Big Agnes Clearview Air Pad

£41.00

This is the most compact alternative to the traditional self-inflating mattress. The Air Pad packs down incredibly small, but inflates to a respectable 200x50x5cm. There is no foam filling, and it’s clear to look through as the name suggests DesignThe Clearview comes packed in a tiny mesh stuffsack that can be easily slipped into a pocket of a rucksack, unlike ...

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 ...

Highlander Himalayan

£44.00

These trekking poles from Highlander have a good handle. The carbon fibre makes for a more flexible pole than the aluminium usually used. The four sections suffer from frequent slippage – markings on the lower two sections would help identify the slipped section. The lowest section is so thin it is very hard to grip tight enough – and as ...

Regatta Mantle

£48.00

The Mantle is quite a short jacket, yet it’s heavy and quite bulky too. This is mainly down to a mesh lining, which is comfortable but unnecessary in this type of jacket, and a stuff-sack pocket that comes with an elastic belt attached. It has a good selection of pockets (none that will take a map) but packaway hood is ...
