EDZ All Season Zip Neck Top 2009

£30.00

The EDZ All Season Zip Neck Top base layer weighs 190g (men’s S); looser fit in body; close fit in sleeves; light; good freedom of movement; economical use of seams and none of them problematic; good wicking abilities; comfortable; thermally versatile. But diagonal neck zip is not ideal for use with a rucksack and does not aid venting; only comes ...

Blackberry Bold 9000

£500.00

The Bold is a great gadget that combines office/telephone functionality with a GPS receiver, but it isn’t compatible with any Ordnance Survey mapping software so doesn’t really cut it as a GPS receiver. There is a link-up with a partner website www.trimble-outdoors.com which for a small subscription makes it possible to review walk statistics as well as to exchange route ...

Lowrance Ifinder GO2

£90.00

Has limited PC compatibility via a serial port cable (not supplied). Routes can be planned on Memory-Map, but only the waypoints can be downloaded, which means the route has to be constructed manually on the GPS before it can be followed – quicker than doing the whole job by hand, but very clunky compared to some units. Outdoors, it’s nice ...

Led Lenser Head Fire Digital Power Chip Camo

£35.00

This headtorch weighs 140g (including batteries); 1 x1.25 watt LED; very bright for the weight; battery pack at back of head for stability and comfort; max burn time 50 hours; 3 x AAA included. But head tilt cannot be tightened if it loosens as it is riveted rather than bolted in place; only one power setting.

Wynnster 12 LED Head Torch

£13.00

This headtorch weighs just 120g (including batteries); 4, 8 or 12 LED power settings plus flash; ratchet head tilt system; superb price for the performance; 3 x AAA included; max burn time 30 hours. But battery case not quite as easy to open with cold and wet hands as some; low burn time; quite a large unit on the forehead.

Wynnster 3 LED + 1 Krypton Headtorch

£8.00

This headtorch weighs just 132g (including batteries); three power settings plus flash; ratchet head tilt with adjustable screws; 3 x AAA included; max burn time 100 hours. But very low battery life unless on almost useless 1 LED setting; not very stable on head due to design; others are lighter for similar or better performance.

EFX Portable Solar Charger

£35.00

At just 148g, this is the lightest solar panel we looked at, but it is also the one with the least features, so does it boast enough to make it a worthwhile purchase? It comes with a USB output slot and a small removable fold-down stand at the back. Just plug in your USB lead and the juice from this ...

Lowrance iFinder Go

£90.00

The low price tag of this GPS receiver makes it very appealing to the walker who just needs to find a location. You get a 16 channel receiver which should in theory get you a fix and hold the fix better than a 12 or 14 channel receiver used in some other units. The 48 hour battery life makes it ...

Mio Digiwalker P350

£200.00

This PDA (pocket PC) from Mio runs typical PC software, but also has a built-in GPS antenna. Teamed with digital mapping software, such as Memory-Map, the P350 can be used as a walking GPS unit that shows full detail Ordnance Survey mapping. There’s no doubting the appeal of a GPS receiver that shows your exact position on 1:25,000 OS mapping ...
