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 ...

Pennine Fastlock 260 (2012)

£35.00

Probably the most common complaint walkers have with trekking poles is that the internal locking mechanism becomes impossible to lock or unlock and is difficult at the best of times with wet, cold or gloved hands. A popular alternative to the internal expansion lock is an external snaplock, where a lever is flipped closed to lock the pole sections in ...

£48.00

The Highlander Himalayan Trek has some carbon fibre in the shaft material, which reduces the weight of this pole to a very respectable 516g per pair. Packed length is good too at just 57cm.

Blacks Compact Pole 2010

£40.00

Forty pounds is a very low price for a pair of poles. But it is even more noteworthy when you realise that these poles also include anti-shock springs inside to take the impact out of placing the tips firmly down onto rocky surfaces. This is a longer pole than many too, so it’s better for those who are taller than ...

Vango Deluxe Cork Anti-Shock 2010

Vango set the standard for making products with remarkable performance at low prices. Their Deluxe Cork Anti-Shock are typical of the brand as they offer most of what most people want at a price that most people are prepared to pay.

Gelert Ottowa

£40.00

This is a lot of jacket for £40. It’s quite heavy, and doesn’t pack down that well, which certainly rules it out for lighter weight walking, but it is very warm, and it certainly keeps some light rain out. It’s reasonably breathable, too. The sizing’s quite big, so try before you buy, and this means the collar is a bit ...

The Berghaus Roam 30’s price of £45 is great value for a comfortable rucksack with ample day walk features.

Hi-Tec Altitude Lite IV WP JR

£30.00

The Hi-Tec Altitude Lite IV WP JR children’s boot is an excellent price for what you get.

Hi-Tec V-Lite Diablo 2009

£40.00

For me the Hi-Tec V-Lite Diablo was more comfortable than it looks. There’s a rubber toe box to provide protection and prevent toes creeping beyond the end of the sole. The upper is stretchy and so is the lacing system, so once cranked up it holds the foot comfortably in place while allowing movement. The result is that the foot ...

The North Face Mead 2009

£40.00

The The North Face Mead is a nice stiff sandal, so use it for river crossings and it is going to be ideal. Underfoot there is a reasonably aggressive pattern of lugs that are designed to channel water away, but also there are lugs to give traction on muddy grass, say when crossing a campsite. The footbed is antimicrobial, so ...

Trezeta Idaho Kid

£45.00

An Alpine style with a branded Vibram outsole and waterproof construction make the Trezeta Idaho Kid children’s boot look appealing.

The Karrimor Aruba is a good, robust sandal. The sole unit is well-padded to provide a comfortable ride on hard or rocky surfaces.

The North Face Jinxy Mid

The The North Face Jinxy Mid is a stylish, waterproof children’s shoe with a mid-cut ankle cuff, so it offers a little more protection than a shoe.
