The Drinksafe Waterstraw is the lightest filter system available and is extremely well-priced, so it’s ideal for stashing in your rucksack for emergencies. It’s also extremely easy to use, because you simply remove the caps from each end, place one end in the water, then suck through the filter from the other end with your mouth. Once your thirst is ...

Bridgedale Trekker (2013)

£15.00

The WoolFusion model is in a range that includes MerinoFusion and CoolFusion, and these UK-made socks are designed to give the best of both worlds: the comfort and natural low odour of wool combined with the durability, wickability and affordability of synthetics.

Brasher Hillwalker (2013)

£11.00

The Brasher Hillwalker is a thinner synthetic sock for lighter walking or for those who don’t like the thicker feel of wool. UK-made from Coolmax polyester and nylon, they aren’t as odour-resistant as wool equivalents and can feel on the warm side, but they’re not bad in either respect – especially given the price, which is pretty good for a ...

Point6 Hiking Tech (2013)

£20.00

A company started by experts in yarn, Point6 guarantees the Hiking Tech socks to be ‘the best wool socks ever’– a bold claim that originates from the fine spinning process, which helps avoid bobbling and other signs of micro-wear, making them particularly durable. They’re highly elastic, which improves fit and wicking, and also helps to regulate temperature. www.point6.com Review by ...

SealSkinz Walking Sock (2013)

£28.00

SealSkinz waterproof socks have come a long way. Out is the stiff, slightly latex-y feel, and in is merino wool, an ergonomic fit and a much more agreeable-feeling fabric. The SealSkinz Walking Sock is still very different to the others we looked at, but then it is waterproof, so that’s to be expected. It’s also pretty breathable, and may be ...

1000 Mile Ultimate Heavyweight (2013)

£15.00

So confident is 1000 Mile in its system – two layers: a synthetic inner which moves with your foot and a wool outer which moves with the boot – that the company offers a money-back guarantee if you get blisters or the socks wear out. It’s an impressive idea, and the 1000 Mile Ultimate Heavyweight is certainly different to others ...

Lorpen Midweight Hiker (2013)

£16.00

Robust and supportive while not as finely woven as some options, Lorpen’s use of PrimaLoft Eco polyester (Lorpen is known for its polar socks) and 25 per cent merino wool in its Midweight Hiker sock is a quality combination. The Tri-Layer construction has a sound logic: synthetic next to the skin for wicking, natural in the middle to absorb and ...

Falke TK2 (2013)

£15.00

‘Engineered’ isn’t a word you’d readily associate with socks, but then the Falke TK2s are German. Made of a highly wicking, quick-drying combination of fabrics – featuring 22 per cent wool and integrated silver elements to reduce odour – the TK2 is a thinner sock than many, but it’s warm without being clammy and it’s impressively durable, especially for the ...

Smartwool Outdoor (2013)

£19.00

Nothing feels quite as luxurious as new woolly socks, and no wool feels quite as good as that from merino sheep. Part of SmartWool’s PhD (geddit?) range, these socks are naturally odour-resistant and high-wicking – helped by the looped-thread lining – as well as being warm and supremely comfortable, making them just the job for long, multi-day walks when a ...

Extremities Light Hiker (2013)

£18.00

Extremities are experts in, well, the extremities – so it goes to figure that their socks should be excellent. Probably the most comfortable socks here, the Light Hikers are made from 25 per cent wool and 42 per cent Coolmax polyester among other principally stretchy things, though on inspection you’d be forgiven for thinking they were pure wool. A light, ...

Páramo Cambia Shortsleeved T-shirt (2013)

£29.00

With the Páramo Cambia Shortsleeved T-shirt you’re effectively getting two T-shirts in one. The synthetic fabric is finished differently on either side to provide extra warmth or cooling as required. With the slightly shinier surface on the inside, moisture is effectively dispersed during heavy exercise, allowing the wearer to cool down more efficiently. The reverse side has a softer, almost ...

Berghaus Long-Sleeve Zip-Neck Technical T-Shirt (2013)

£32.00

As far as general-purpose base layers go, the Berghaus Long-Sleeve Zip-Neck Technical T-Shirt ticks all the boxes. It’s a good price, it’s reasonably light and, because it’s synthetic rather than merino wool, it’s relatively low-maintenance. The long sleeves and high collar keep the breeze at bay on a cold day, and the long chest zip allows the wearer to cool ...

Xcelcius Megatherm (2013)

When a base layer comes with a warning not to sleep in it because it’s too warm, you should know what you’re getting; but just to make it crystal-clear, the Xcelcius Megatherm top also comes with a certified -25 deg C rating. Oh yes, it’s a hot one. Looking more like a sweatshirt than a base layer, it has a ...

Ice Trekkers Diamond Grip (2013)

When walking on snowy level tracks and bridleways a full crampon is often more than you really need, but a pair of Ice Trekkers Diamond Grips fitted to your boots works well. These are rather like fitting snow chains to your car tyres in that they just give a small degree of traction to keep you moving. There are many ...
