Deuter Act Trail SL20 rucksack

£65.00

It doesn’t get much better than this. Nicely padded shoulder straps make load carrying comfortable, and although the hip fins aren’t padded, the flexible mesh design is incredibly comfortable. The hip belt adjusts by pulling the straps forward, a system which makes it really easy to get a secure, snug fit, while the back system uses an effective channelling system ...

Tatonka Breva 20 rucksack

£60.00

The Breva is a traditionally styled pack with an adjustable back length system – ideal for petite women. The harness carries loads well, but the broad shoulder straps won’t suit women with narrow shoulders. Conversely, the chest strap is quite short, which won’t suit women with large busts. There’s a rain cover in the lid, although it hasn’t got a ...

Gregory Jade 25 rucksack

£80.00

The Jade feels much bigger than its stated 25L capacity, and the zipped main compartment will comfortably swallow everything you’ll need for a typical day-walk. The hip belt and shoulder straps are soft, padded and flexible, making even heavy loads feel comfortable.

With a  nice, simple design and unfussy exterior, the Freeflow features Berghaus’ improved Freeflow IV back system that allows a decent flow of air across your back and feels pretty stable, too.

The North Face Angstrom 25 rucksack

£75.00

A compact and comfortable pack, the Angstrom’s lightweight harness has enough padding for small loads, and although the back system is quite basic, it does keep the load close to the wearer’s back where it feels most stable. There’s a useful array of pockets, including one on the hip belt, which is perfect for small items like keys; and a ...

Haglöfs Lite Split Pant 2010

£80.00

The Haglöfs Lite Split Pants are very practical trousers. Firstly they have the essential feature of a convertible trouser that is going to be used when backpacking and hill-walking – and that is lower leg zips. These zips extend almost to the knee so you can whip off the lower legs without removing your boots. You can nip in the ...

Craghoppers Nosilife Convertibles 2010

£60.00

Craghoppers is well-known for its range of trousers, but the Nosilife Convertibles boasts the addition of NosiLife, the world’s first permanent insect-repellent fabric, according to the manufacturers. The material feels like cotton and is very comfortable, and of course it should help keep away those insects in summer when you bare your legs most. There are two seat patch pockets ...

Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pant 2010

£60.00

The Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pants have a broad range of great features. The fabric is a mini-ripstop so, if torn, at least the tear won’t extend too far across the trouser due to the ripstop design. The fabric is fast-drying like other fabrics here too. The trousers also have double stitching to increase durability in the long term. To ...

The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible 2010

£59.00

The Tekware fabric is relatively heavy, which gives the The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible trousers a much more durable and hard-wearing feel. There’s also double stitching throughout, to again enhance durability. A crotch gusset improves comfort too while an elasticated waist with a belt means this should fit most people. The trousers feature calf zips so the lower legs ...

Mountain Hardwear Mesa Convertible Pant 2010

£55.00

My favourite convertible trousers are the now discontinued Mountain Hardwear Convertible Pack Pant. The new Mountain Hardwear Mesa Convertible Pant does retain one feature from these old classics, though – the smooth micro-chamois waist lining, which makes the waist area extremely comfortable under a pack hipbelt. The Mesa also has an elasticated waist with an integrated belt, which is ideal ...

Royal Robbins Zip N Go Pant 2010

£50.00

Royal Robbins makes a wide range of travel clothing and much of it is extremely practical, but more significantly some of the range extends into sizes not catered for by other brands. Their Zip N Go Pants go from size 6 to 22 for women for example! The fabric is quick-drying nylon like most others here. But you also get ...

The Outdoor Research range of outdoor clothing is relatively new to the UK, but the brand is well-established in the USA and has an excellent reputation for practical backpacking gear.

Keela Paraguay/Rio Zip Off Trouser 2010

£40.00

It would be easy to assume that for £40 you would not get very good trousers. But the Keela Paraguay/Rio Zip Off Trousers are superb, and far more impressive than their price suggests. The big advantage is the fabric, which is a lightweight stretch nylon. This makes the trousers incredibly comfortable while retaining a conventional style. The waist is elasticated ...

Regatta Geo Extol Zip-Off 2010

£30.00

At under half the price of some comparable trousers, the Regatta Geo Extol Zip-Off is clearly going to be a favourite in terms of cost. But this is more than a low-priced product, as it also has plenty of practical features that allow it to compete with the best here. The fabric is quick-drying nylon as with higher-priced trousers. The ...

The North Face Vindicator GTX

£89.00

Soft, suede uppers, and a fairly wide last make these feel like old friends straight from the box. An excellent lacing system makes it easy to achieve a great fit across the whole foot, and a locking eyelet by the tongue makes them incredibly easy to whip on and off. The Vibram sole has quite an aggressive tread pattern, which ...

A snug fit means the Tosca are a good choice for women with narrow feet. The smart looking nubuck suede uppers are cut low around the ankles and most walkers will love the feel of the shock absorption underfoot, making them an ideal choice for walking on hard surfaces. The midsole is rather stiff for a shoe, and while this ...
