Vango Vacuum Flask

£10.00

This flask kept its contents warm enough. It’s the lightest 1000ml flask in the test with an easy-to-use, glove-friendly pourer that won’t become clogged. The cup also gets a wide plastic liner to stop scalded lips. But you don’t get the best insulating performance, nor are there any instructions for cleaning and pre-heating.   Capacity: 1000mlMaterials: stainless steel flask and ...

Outwell Steel Vacuum Flask

£12.00

This flask kept the contents very hot. The lid can be used as a cup and has a plastic liner to protect the lips from scalds. The stopper is the press-down variety, and the outside has a grippy, anodised finish. But the press-down pourer may not be to everyone’s liking as this type can clog up, so it’s not ideal ...

Vango Compact Gas Stove 2011

£13.00

There are a lot of very similar direct-mounted gas stoves, but of all of them, the Vango Compact Gas Stove offers the best value for money, while also being reasonably light. The design is fairly standard, with folding pan supports, but you do get a 12cm support diameter, which is a notch better than average. Flame control is good (as ...

Alpkit Gamma (2012)

£13.00

Alpkit is well-known for providing great kit at incredible prices, although the drawback is that you can only buy the gear direct from the brand, so you won’t find this headtorch in your local outdoor store. The Gamma has a main LED that punches out a good beam of light, but it is not as clean or as wide as ...

Apple iPhone with ViewRanger 2011

£14.99

The iPhone can be transformed into an outdoor navigational device by loading a range of apps. As an example we’ve chosen the Viewranger app (others are available), and this has been combined with OS mapping also from Viewranger. The iPhone has an incredibly high-quality screen, which makes this by far the best option for reading OS maps in detail. The ...

Inov8 has added a range of rucksacks to its popular trail-running shoe range. The rucksacks are all designed to carry their unique hydration bladder that fits horizontally around the waist for more stability. This hydration system uses Source components, so it benefits from their design features. It was leakproof in our tests, and the water tasted good. But It only ...

Nalgene TPE-Big Bore hydration system

£18.00

Nalgene's TPE-Big Bore delivers taste-free water, has an excellent flow rate and reliable shut-off valve. Great build quality, especially for the price.Contact: : 01629 580484, www.firstascent.co.uk

Lowe Alpine Dryflo Crew

£20.00

This is a great value-for-money T-shirt that has a very easy fit. It comes with an ultra-violet protection factor of 50, which blocks 97.5 per cent of harmful UV rays. And to prevent the dreaded build-up of body stink it features a HealthGuard treatment.  It was rated as ‘Best value’ in our test.

Keela ADS Long Sleeve Zip Top 2009

The Keela ADS Long Sleeve Zip Top base layer is a steal at the price; if it was a tenner more it would still be a bargain.

Outdoor Designs Wmns Perma Gaiter 2010

£20.00

The Outdoor Designs Wmns Perma Gaiter is a great price considering it’s made of eVent – one of the most breathable fabrics around. I liked the fact that the drawcord sits at the back of the leg, meaning it won’t be uncomfortable when kneeling or scrambling. A front closure consisting of a combination of a zip, Velcro and press studs ...

Nalgene CXC Big Bore 2 litre

£20.00

From the makers of one of the most popular water bottles on the market comes an equally good hydration system. The CXC material gives no residual taste or smell, while an Aquaguard antimicrobial hose ensures a good taste, and in our tests the water palatability was excellent. The bite valve has a magnetic clip, which is unusual but useful. But ...

The Platypus Big Zip SL Hoser hydration system opens at the top via a plastic slider making filling and cleaning really easy; there's no way this can leak. Full marks for the detachable hose.

Lifesystems Intensity 80 (2012)

On first appearances the Lifesystems Intensity 80 looks very much like the Alpkit Gamma, but it has some important differences. Primarily the Intensity 80 has a motion sensor that allows you to wave your hand across the front of the headtorch to turn it on and off. The benefit of this is that it makes it extremely easy to operate ...
