Regatta Baxter (2012)

£30.00

This is a lighter-weight fleece than many out there, using a thinner grade of material that also makes it one of the least expensive too. The downside is a lack of insulation. This really only provides warmth as part of a layering system. It is designed to zip into a corresponding shell jacket. A drawcord around the hem helps to ...

Regatta Adventure Tech 35 (2011)

£50.00

A basic-looking pack with all the usual features you would hope to find on a 35-litre pack, but at a more reasonable price. You get a suspended mesh back system, hydration pack-compatibility, a rain cover and somewhere to store your poles. What does suffer, however, is a little reassurance in the quality stakes. The fabric used does feel noticeably thinner ...

Blacks Alpine 30+5 (2011)

£35.00

No award-winner but a fairly capable pack for the price. There are a few technical features that you’d expect to find in a decent walking pack, albeit not quite as well executed as on more expensive bags. A padded back system does boost comfort and keep the load tight to your back, but has no venting at all which does ...

Euro Hike Hydro 35+5 (2011)

£40.00

One of the cheaper models and as a result doesn’t have the technical features of others. The back system uses simple padding that does keep the load close to your centre of gravity, but doesn’t allow air to circulate and so quickly leads to a sweaty and uncomfortable back. Also it isn’t very well protected and you have to be ...

Golite Malpais Trinity

£180.00

An incredibly lightweight jacket and something that’s better suited to warmer weather use, with its incredible packability and great windproofing. The Trinity membrane which provides waterproofing and breathability works well enough in most conditions and does have a bit of a ruffled scrim layer on the inside to help draw moisture away. It works reasonably well, although the very thin ...

Patagonia Torrentshell Parka

£140.00

A lighter weight, and therefore more reasonably priced jacket here. Although lighter, the face fabric does have Ripstop properties to boost resilience, and it coped well enough with a few scrapes and bumps. The lower price point also means that there is no membrane waterproofing. Instead the H2No coating does the breathable/waterproof job, and as a result it can get ...

Regatta Cordite 3-in-1

£170.00

Two jackets for the price of one with this – a shell jacket outer and a removable insulated liner. The removable liner makes it a good bet for casual walks on colder days, when you don’t want to be weighed down by a lot of kit. In use the jacket is fine for general walking use, albeit pretty warm when ...

Rohan Cloudcover

£145.00

A roomy and comfortable jacket that’s cut long to keep your hips dry, although the arms are rather short. It’s quite a smart-looking jacket, made from soft polyester fabric that’s easy to move around in. There’s plenty of space in the hood to bury your head into, with adjustment at the side and back and a large stiffened peak. You ...

Dare2B Trilight

£70.00

A fairly lightweight jacket that’s long enough to cover the hips. It’s nicely styled for walking in, with fabric that flexes easily and arms that don’t ride up when you reach forward. Disappointingly, the hood is rather small, and won’t keep your face dry in heavy rain. However, elastic adjusters at the sides and back allow you to cinch it ...

Peter Storm Trail

£75.00

A comfortable jacket with a long hem that covers the hips easily. It has got a decent-sized hood – great if you’ve got long hair – with baffle adjustment at the sides and back. You can also roll it away in the collar if you want a smarter look. It’s made from Peter Storm’s Stormshield fabric, which is waterproof and ...

Peter Storm Skiddaw II

£65.00

Very soft, full-grain leather boots that will only really suit women with wide feet as they are very wide across the toes. They’ve got a soft yet supportive ankle cuff, and although the tongue may feel harsh at first, it soon softens with wear. Disappointingly, the lacing system is a bit fiddly, making it difficult to get enough tension across ...

Montane Slipstream Gilet 2011

£45.00

At a minuscule 80g (size M), the Montane Slipstream Gilet packs down to the size of a golf ball and claims to be the world’s lightest core body protection. It feels almost weightless – but the Pertex Quantum fabric that makes up most of the gilet is windproof and water-repellent, making this a useful extra layer in blowy conditions. Dryactive ...

Eurohike Pathfinder 20

£24.00

This is a pack designed in a classical way. It’s not exactly NASA in its technicality, more straightforward and dependable, and as such not particularly exciting. The fabric used is fairly hard-wearing and will survive a few scrapes without any discernable damage. In wet weather you will need to make sure your kit is waterproofed inside. There is a rain ...

Regatta Magnitude III

£40.00

An inexpensive jacket, the Magnitude III is as classic an example of a cagoule as you’re likely to see. In use, perhaps not surprisingly, it’s not the most technical, although it is one of the few to come with a mesh-lined inner to help the outer fabric absorb condensed moisture. The face fabric is not that effective when it comes ...

Craghoppers Endurance Lite

£78.00

Quite heavy at 350g, and the Endurance Lite fabric is also very noisy to walk in, with an old-school plastic mac feel. It keeps rain out, although the fabric doesn’t breathe well, so watch out for condensation build up on the inside. However, it’s got a great storm flap, with a wide strip of fabric covering the main zip, secured ...

Tog24 Halo

£75.00

The Halo is rather heavy for a lightweight waterproof, but very reasonably priced at £75. Most of the added weight comes from the heavy nylon fabric, which is lined with polyester throughout to help it breathe. It does a good job of keeping out a shower, but will wet-out eventually so it’s not ideal for long, rainy days in the ...

GoSystem Apollo Ti 2011

£100.00

The GoSystem Apollo Ti weighs 194g (+ gas); boil time 2min 55sec to 6min 15sec; 12cm diameter pan supports ideal for bigger pans. But best boil time only available with fresh gas canister; elaborate folding design does not seem to offer benefit over lower-priced stoves with wider supports and lower profile.

Coleman Exponent F1 Lite 2011

£20.00

The Coleman Exponent F1 Lite weighs 76g (+ gas); boil time 2min 9sec to 4min 34sec; packs very small; 12cm diameter pan supports; unique pan supports for more compact packing. But fiddly to position and lock pan supports; best boil time is only available with a fresh gas canister.

The Campingaz Twister Plus PZ weighs 214g (+ gas); boil time 2min 25sec to 5min 10sec; small packed size; 14cm diameter pan supports; includes piezo ignition; unique Easy Clic connection to Campingaz canisters. But the best boil time is only available with a fresh gas canister; not the lightest or most compact gas burner; only fits dedicated Campingaz canisters.

Pure Hydration Aquasak Inline Filter 2011

£40.00

Many walkers use a hydration bladder stashed in a rucksack with a feeder pipe that they drink from while on the move. You could just filter the water before putting it into the bladder, but a more practical alternative is to fit this inline filter to the bladder’s feedpipe so the water is filtered as you suck it through the ...

MSR Miox Purifier 2011

£135.00

The MSR Miox Purifier is a very compact and lightweight system that applies an electric current to a small portion of rock salt solution, that’s in turn added to the water requiring purification. To operate the system, fit two lithium batteries into the red purifier unit, fill the salt chamber with rock salt (supplied) and add a few drops of ...

Drinksafe Systems Waterstraw 2011

£20.00

The Drinksafe Systems Waterstraw is about as simple and light and low-priced as it gets. It’s a water straw by name and by nature: all you have to do is remove the caps from each end, place one end in the liquid and suck through the filter at the other. When you’ve quenched your thirst, just shake the Waterstraw dry ...

Snugpak Elite Proximity

£70.00

Relatively new to the world of outdoor clothing, this is a brand new model for Snugpak. It’s a fairly standard looking jacket and the cut isn’t quite so athletic as some tested, so you could wear it to the pub – if you’re the sort of person happy to sup a pint in an orange jacket. The brushed, slightly fleecy ...

Regatta Airbrake

£56.00

The Airbrake doesn’t immediately feel like a standard soft shell, with a face fabric that, although plenty stretchy enough, has a hardness to it and is quite noisy when you move. The shiny surface did give it a little extra waterproofing, at least for the test duration over a few damp, misty mornings, and it also makes it a little ...

Eurohike Compact X

£40.00

The Compact X is one of the most compact poles out there, with its four-section design, but this does mean it is also heavy. The poles are pleasantly sturdy in use, considering the price, and you can buy them individually if you want a low-cost trial or need to replace a damaged pole. But the grips are disappointing, made from ...
