Tatonka Crest/Luna 50 2008

£100.00

This rucksack has an adjustable back system; very well-padded back, airflow chimney; very wide padded hipbelt; base compartment with external access; mesh wand pocket; side compression straps; front pocket; lid with internal and external pockets; men’s and women’s fit.

The North Face Rock 22

£150.00

For two campers there is nothing better than a 2-person tent with lots of space in both the inner and the porch areas, and that is exactly what the Rock 22 provides.

Mountain Hardwear Viperine 2

£200.00

The problem with most tunnel tents is that the shape is so tapered that there is limited usable space. The Viperine gets around this problem by using a unique pole configuration, which provides incredible inner space far exceeding that of similar designs. Pitching is easy, thanks to the clear instructions and the hand-friendly pegs. It is inner-pitched-first with the flysheet ...

Blacks Octane 2

£150.00

For unpredictable UK weather an outer-pitched-first design is my preferred choice of tent as you can pitch (erect) and strike (take down) it in any weather and stay reasonably dry, so full marks to Blacks straight away with the Octane 2. The poles slip through colour-coded sleeves to make pitching easy, and ladder-lock adjustment around the base ensures the flysheet ...
