The North Face Hybrid Long Sleeve Zip Neck (2012)

£50.00

A tight fitting, athletic top built for high-energy activities, and as such may frighten off more casual users. The tight fit ensures that moisture is lifted quickly away from the skin and sent to the outside. Body-mapping has also been used to provide a little extra insulation in key areas. Best of all is the seamless construction, which means a ...

Montane Bionic Long Sleeve Crew Neck (2012)

£60.00

A really lightweight base-layer made from Sportwool – a unique fabric that blends the best properties of merino wool on the inside, and polyester on the outside. Merino wool excels at trapping water vapour perspiring from the skin, whilst polyester transports moisture to the outside, spreading it out so the fabric dries extremely fast. So this base-layer works just as ...

Ring Cyba-Lite Sensor (2012)

£31.00

As the Ring Cyba-Lite Sensor’s name suggests, this headtorch has a motion control sensor built into it so you simply need to sweep your hand across the front of it to turn it on or off. This sounds like a good idea, but in use I found it rather irritating as you need to move your hand in just the ...

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 ...

Rab Latok Glove (2012)

£62.00

While most gloves are designed to be warm, waterproof and hardwearing, there is another important requirement that many users would benefit from – and that is a good grip. The Rab Latok Glove is special in that it has a silicone print on the palm that is incredibly sticky, which makes gripping rock when scrambling, trekking poles or ice axes ...

Sealskinz Performance Activity Glove (2012)

£45.00

Sealskinz is best known for its superb range of waterproof socks. The company has used the same technology to develop an extremely wide range of gloves too, and these benefit from that same close-fitting style that made the socks so popular. The Performance Activity Glove benefits from Primaloft insulation for extra warmth yet the glove still manages to fit very ...

Garmin eTrex 10 (2012)

£110.00

Recent developments in Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers have focused on developing colour touch screens that put digital Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping at your fingertips. But while the latest high-tech GPS receivers offer almost everything a hillwalker wants, they carry high price tags and perhaps offer more than most hillwalkers actually need. The yellow Garmin eTrex first appeared in outdoor ...

Extremities Corbett Glove (2012)

£45.00

The Extremities Corbett Glove has been around for many years and it is a well-proven glove for hillwalking. Surprisingly for the price, you are getting a Gore-Tex waterproof lining inside, which is insulated with a brushed polyester liner and this is precisely fitted to the shell so that nothing snags and you can easily get your hands in and out ...

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 ...

Mountain Equipment Guide Glove (2012)

£40.00

This glove is a well-established and decent all-rounder. It benefits from Mountain Equipment’s own DriLite Extreme waterproof insert, which helps keeps the price down. Inside, the fleece and pile lining does not snag when you slip your wet hand inside, which makes it really easy to put on. As the glove is precurved and the lining is not too thick, ...

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 ...

Mammut X-Shot (2012)

£85.00

The Mammut X-Shot benefits from a good range of white light outputs, from a full-power beam that is very clean, bright and wide to a more expansive flood for short-range use. You can buy an additional ambient light diffuser, which transforms the headtorch into a source of good general light when camping. The excellent quality of the light should make ...
