Coleman Bedrock 2

£70.00

Coleman are best-known for their family tents but they also make a range of low-priced backpacking tents that prove you don’t need to spend a fortune to be able to enjoy camping. The Bedrock 2 weighs in at a very respectable 2.5kg and benefits from two porches, two entrances and a window on the world outside. The inner can also ...

Coleman Rigel X2 tent (2008)

£80.00

ReviewA very lightweight tent that saves a few grams by incorporating the stuffsack into the groundsheet. Also the pegs are very short, but mainly it is the single-skin design that reduces weight. Pitching is very fast as there are just two poles, which slip through mesh sleeves on the outer. There is a mesh vent in the roof that can ...

Optimus Nova+

£130.00

This stove weighs 302g burner, 216g fuel bottle, 38g windshield (+ fuel); 3 min 22 sec boil time; ingenious flame control at fuel bottle end; 16cm diameter pan supports; low profile for stability; burns refined and unleaded petrol, paraffin, diesel.

Keen Newport

£70.00

This Keen sandal has shaken up the shoe market since it appeared in 2006 with its unique enclosed toe, where the sole unit moulding is extended around the toe to provide extra protection where it’s needed. The idea has now been copied by many other brands of course. The upper allows your feet plenty of airflow, while offering good protection ...

Brasher Calusa XCR

£80.00

This is a tougher multi-activity shoe than you might expect from Brasher, which is perhaps better known for producing ‘softer’ footwear. The Calusa XCR has a mesh and leather upper with a waterproof lining to provide good protection for the foot. But what sets it apart is the tougher-than-average toe box coupled with a very supportive upper that provides good ...

Snugpak Sleeka Jacket

£80.00

This insulated jacket has a drawstring adjustment for the hem and the collar; one internal and two external pockets all with zips; good-sized stormflaps over the pockets; packs into its own stuffsack; manufactured in the UK; really warm. But it’s bulky when packed and heavy at 596g; add the unisex cut and basic functional design, and you get a pretty ...

Premac Travel Well Trekker

£70.00

This 180g water purifier is extremely compact, being smaller than a water bottle. The filter will remove viruses too without the addition of extra tablets of iodine, making it ideal if you’re drinking from a source where waterborne bugs are likely to be a problem. You get a very simple design with a pre-filter on the inflow pipe and an ...

Salomon Elios XCR

£85.00

This multi-activity shoe features a Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining; lots of suede on the upper for durability; solid toe box provides good protection; very supportive heel; very aggressive sole lug pattern is ideal for mud. But you can feel stones through the sole, which lets this otherwise excellent shoe down.

Merrell Moab Ventilator

£55.00

This multi-activity shoe features a very breathable mesh upper; rubber and suede leather reinforcement; very supportive heel; excellent cushioning; typical great Merrell comfort; aggressive lug pattern on Vibram sole. But sole flex is little squishy, so not ideal for rocky paths; toe box could be a little stiffer; mesh upper extends low down so water will get in easily.

Salomon Revo SCS GTX

£125.00

A 3-season boot that features a stitchless construction so durability should be very good; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; solid toe box; very aggressive Contagrip sole lug pattern; good underfoot cushioning due to PU heel section; rubber toe bumper for extra durability; women’s  sizes up to 10.5. But very flexible sole lets down an otherwise promising mountain boot.

A 3-season boot that features eVent waterproof lining; rubber toe bumper for extra durability; solid toe box for foot protection; Vibram sole unit; good stiffness and cushioning for rocky mountain paths; synthetic and suede upper keeps price down.

Alt-Berg Fremington

£120.00

These three-season leather boots from Alt-Berg are available in various widths and volumes, as well as half sizes, so most people should be able to get a good fit. That said, the ‘wide’ section of the boot can still feel too far forward for your feet. With a medium-stiff midsole and reasonably high, supportive, full-grain leather upper, the Fremington makes ...

Peter Storm Malvern Ultra

£50.00

These boots from Peter Storm are roomy at the heel and wide across the foot, but narrow at the toe. They were also too long. The ankle cuffs are well padded but a little low. They could offer more support, but perform well enough for low-level walks, with good rubber bumpers at the toe and heel and Vibram soles, which ...

The North Face Terra 25

£60.00

This daysack from The North Face  has a long back, stacks of padding, adjustment at the shoulders and hips, and a very breathable, deep, channelled back system, making it a delight to carry. It’s very heavy though, even when empty. It’s over-elaborate and more clunky to use than many, though, and heavy for 25 litres. The huge lid pocket and ...

Rab Vapour-Rise Trail Pants

£65.00

These winter trousers from Rab are very baggy, but belt loops and elastic panels still make them wearable. The fleece lining is wonderfully soft, almost luxurious. Fantastic in cold weather and capable of coping with a bit of rain too – feeling warm even when they do wet out, as long as you keep moving. Very light and good breathability.
