Rab Latok Glove (2013)

£70.00

One of the most important requirements for a glove is that it provides a good grip for holding trekking poles and ice axes or when scrambling, and to that end the Rab Latok Glove benefits from a silicone-treated palm.

Camp Magix (2013)

£85.00

To get a good grip on snow and ice in almost any situation a pair of Camp Magix crampons is ideal, and it’s a good-value option too at £85. One problem with any traction device is that they tend to clog with snow and ice, known as ‘balling up’, but the Magix come fitted with a pair of anti-balling plates ...

Climbing Technology Alpin Tour (2013)

£60.00

The Alpin Tour is a ‘technical’-rated ice axe, so its shaft is strong enough to withstand belaying – and that makes it suitable for mountaineering. But it’s also ideally designed for more general use if you wish to take advantage of its great price tag. The axe has a precurved shaft, which makes it far easier to plant the shaft ...

Camp Neve (2013)

£55.00

The Camp Neve is a relatively lightweight ice axe that comes in a wide range of sizes, which makes it ideal for general hillwalking. The axe has a straight alloy shaft, rather than the precurved design provided by higher-priced tools; but for general walking this is all you need so it is no drawback.

Black Diamond Contact Clip (2013)

£100.00

The Black Diamond Contact Clip is made from stainless steel, which means it does not rust like most other crampons, and snow and ice do not stick to the crampon so readily. Stainless steel is also more durable than carbon steel so the points of the spikes are more likely to stay sharp even if you spend some of the ...

Ice Trekkers Diamond Grip (2013)

£40.00

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 ...

The Petzl Sum’Tec is available with a hammer head or an adze head to allow this model to be used as a pair for climbing steep snow and ice.

Stubai Twin Peaks Universal (2013)

£82.00

The Stubai Twin Peaks Universal crampon is designed for novice hillwalkers who are walking over easier frozen terrain. There are no front points, which means these are very much intended for paths and level ground rather than steeper slopes where the absence of front points will enable wearers to safely walk over the hills without tripping up, as can happen ...

Inside, the fleece and pile lining does not snag when you slip your wet hand inside, which makes it really easy to put on. As the glove is precurved and the lining is not too thick, ...

The Marmot Work Glove is a well-established piece of kit that has been used by Glenmore Lodge instructors when battling against Cairngorm storms.

Hillsound Trail Crampon (2012)

£50.00

On more uneven ground with harder ice you need more spikes that are longer, and these spikes need to be more firmly held in place to create a stable foothold. The Hillsound Trail Crampon has 11 spikes that are each 1 cm long and quite sharp. These are located on three metal frames, so they cannot move around and therefore ...

Rab Latok Glove (2012)

While most gloves are designed to be warm, waterproof and hardwearing, there is another important requirement that many users would benefit from – and that is a good grip.
