Trailwise Snolock Gaiter (2012)

£25.00

With a price tag that’s half that of some other options, the Trailwise Snolock Gaiter is clearly good value. It is made from cotton duck (better known as canvas), a woven cotton fabric. As it is not as breathable as some other fabrics it can get a bit clammy, but so do most gaiters, so this is arguably not a ...

Rohan Snowgaiters (2012)

£40.00

The Snowgaiter is made from Rohan’s Barricade waterproof and breathable fabric, which the brand also features in its popular range of travel clothing. The fabric has some stretch to allow a closer fit and there is some reinforcement at the ankle area to improve durability too, but others are more robust in this area. The gaiter comes in just one ...

Berghaus GTX Gaiter (2012)

£35.00

As the name suggests, the Berghaus GTX Gaiter is made from Gore-Tex, and it benefits from a nice large area of tougher material around the ankle cuff. It also comes in two leg lengths so there is more chance it will fit you. At the back of the leg is a stretch panel, which should improve the fit further. When ...

Trekmates Dry Softshell (2012)

£30.00

In the case of the Trekmates Dry Softshell, ‘Softshell’ means waterproof and breathable fabric that is soft and stretchy. This softness makes these gaiters extremely comfy to wear from a fabric perspective. The gaiter is shorter than most, and this will be a benefit or a drawback depending on how long your legs are (I’d prefer an extra 5cm on ...

Vango Deluxe Cork (2012)

£40.00

A decent enough pair of poles that give solid performance for not a huge amount of money. They have an anti-shock system that adds a bounce on the hardest ground, but it’s a little softer than some of the other anti-shocks and bit noisier too. Cork grips offer a nice feel in the hand, with good traction in the wet ...

Trekmates Peak Walker (2012)

£30.00

The spring system on these anti-shock poles is a little stiffer than many others to begin with, but will soften up a little after prolonged use. The stiffer spring does make them quieter than some other, softer anti-shocks. The handgrips aren’t the best, using a hard plastic that can be a little uncomfortable after prolonged use, becoming a little sweaty. ...

Vango Deluxe Cork Walking Poles (2012)

£40.00

The handle is one of the most important areas of a trekking pole, as if this is not right then sore hands are almost guaranteed. To improve comfort, the Vango Deluxe Cork Walking Pole has a cork handle, which is not quite as comfy as a softer padded handle, but it is better than a rubber or plastic handle. The ...

Finisterre Brisa (2012)

£35.00

A straightforward, lightweight polyester base-layer with a lightish fabric and excellent wicking properties. Dimples in the material draw moisture away from the skin and allow the garment to dry very quickly too. The cut is slightly fitted without being overly tight or restrictive in any way. Added anti-microbial functionality does manage to keep the worst odours at bay for a ...

Paramo Cambia (2012)

£36.00

This simple looking base-layer has a neat trick up its sleeve – it’s reversible. That’s not just useful for extending times between wash days: one side of the top is built for use in cooler conditions, one is better suited to warmer weather. The stitching on one side has a series of dimples that either traps heat when against the ...

Peter Storm Merino Base Layer Top (2012)

£30.00

A lightweight, unfussy top that combines merino and polyester fibres to help keep the costs down whilst benefiting from the properties of both materials. It does wick away sweat well, and it dries fast, however it is thin, and is better-suited to warmer conditions or with more layers on top. Against the skin there is enough merino in contact to ...

Peter Storm Merino Base Layer Crew (2012)

£30.00

A really lightweight merino base-layer, with a bit of added polyester. It feels great next to the skin – soft, itch-free and not too tight – and even though the fabric is quite thin, it does a great job of trapping warmth. As you’d expect from a combination of polyester and merino, it’s very breathable and wicks away sweat really ...

Sprayway Solstice (2012)

£35.00

This base-layer is made from eco-friendly Cocona fabric, made from the activated carbon of recycled coconut shells. It’s really soft to the touch, and the activated carbon wicks away sweat very quickly indeed. It makes the fabric very breathable too. The carbon doesn’t do a lot to prevent bad odours, though – so unless you’re one of those women that ...

Rohan Basis T (2012)

£35.00

A super-soft base-layer with a loose fit and a scoop neck. The fabric is so soft to the touch that you’d swear it has merino in it, although actually it's made from a blend of polyester and elastane. It’s been treated with Rohan’s Dynamic Moisture Control finish, so it wicks sweat away quickly and keeps you dry in warm, humid ...

EDZ Merino Wool (2012)

£40.00

A warm, thick, 100% merino wool base-layer, which for the first few wears will probably feel a little itchy. It won’t win any prizes for style, but definitely scores high for practicality. The fit is super-tight to trap warm air, and allows the fabric to wick away sweat easily too. Also, the body and arm lengths are long enough so ...

Trekmates Dry Classic Glove 2012

£25.00

There are a lot of gloves around the £25 to £30 price range, but the Trekmates Dry Classic Glove has a slight edge over some of them. It benefits from a waterproof lining and a good fit, which makes it reasonably dexterous. The palm is also a little more grippy than some, thanks to a textured finish. When you put ...

Royal Robbins Bivvy

£45.00

These are much more of a travel-trouser than others tested. They feel very casual; there is no stretch in the fabric, although it is made with a Ripstop knit, which makes it extra-tough and harder-wearing. Of course, that understated design does mean that these will be fine to wear when not on a hillside. The fabric is fine against the ...

Sprayway Rio

£40.00

Classically designed trousers made from a polycotton fabric with a soft outer finish. The waist is semi-elasticated and comes with a belt so you can fine-tune things if needed. The fabric feels reassuringly tough, although there’s no stretch in it, so they’re less comfortable to walk in than some. They’ve got some nice features, though, including drawcords at the ankles ...

Peter Storm Hopeful Stretch

£40.00

Very lightweight trousers with a bit of added stretch for comfort. There are toggle adjusters at the waist to fine-tune the fit, and belt loops if you wear a belt. They’ve got a flattering straight-leg cut, and the fabric glides easily across the skin, making them feel comfortable to walk in. They’ve got a decent water-repellent finish so they won’t ...

Blacks Charge 20+5

£20.00

Features like the headphone collar for your mp3 player make this more of a general use pack, suitable for the daily commute as well as the great outdoors. Some other bits such as the mesh side pockets don’t feel as useful as they could be, not being large enough to hold a water bottle of any kind. There is a ...

Lowe Alpine Edge 22XL

£40.00

This lower-priced pack from Lowe Alpine may not have a fancy back system or ribbons of straps dangling from the back, but what it does have is a solid build construction along with a clean enough design, making it practical for day-to-day use as well as more outdoor activities. On a recent recent trip to Turkey is was at home ...

Regatta X-Cert Lightweight 20L

£30.00

It’s certainly stripped back, with no waist strap, and only a flimsy padded back system for strength and comfort. You have to be careful when loading it to keep soft kit towards your back and you can’t overfill it (which is all too easy to do) otherwise it will sit uncomfortably. There are a couple of mesh side pockets, normally ...

Sprayway Stella

£20.00

A tall, slim and lightweight pack that only costs an unbelievable £20. Features are kept to a minimum, although it boasts two pockets in the lid, a zipped pocket inside, and two side mesh pockets that will take a water bottle. The main compartment is long and narrow, with a single-buckle lid and drawcord closure. It’s a nicely styled pack ...

Royal Robbins Mountain Performance 2011

£40.00

The Royal Robbins Mountain Performance shorts feel like they’re made from tough cotton, but they are actually made from an even tougher nylon, which also has the benefit of being fast-drying. For yet more durability they have double seams throughout and generally they just feel like you could live in them for years without them wearing out. They get a ...

Sprayway Compass (male)/Escape (female) 2011

The fabric used in the Sprayway Compass / Escape shorts is two-way stretch so they are great if you struggle with getting a good fit. There is also stretch in the waist so again these can expand around a tubby tum or hug a neater waistline. There is no belt provided but you get belt loops in case you want ...
