Impact level 4 (this bra) in particular is for large boobs during walking and much more vigorous activities.  Its racer back design provides cast iron-support with dual-action inner layers using Lycra and CoolMax fabrics and between-breast mesh vents for efficient breathability, wicking and ...

Trail Designs Caldera Cone Stove

£27.00

This is a remarkable product,  based around a tiny meths stove that weighs only 16g. In the past I’ve tried these and they’re rubbish, but the addition of the Caldera Cone transforms the performance by acting as a windshield, supporting the pan and funnelling the heat to the base of it. The Caldera Cone is designed to be used with ...

Falke Ergonomic Full Support Bra

£33.00

This sports bra looks trendy but it is the ultimate in underwired comfort for medium-impact activities.  Its totally seamless design makes it brilliantly backpack-compatible and a lack of labels virtually eliminates rub (the product info is printed inside the wide chest band instead). The straps are wide and adjust at the front with ease.  From Falke’s sports range, the fabric ...

Black Diamond Spot

£35.00

This is an exceptionally lightweight headtorch that is also very compact. The battery case is pure genius as it opens just by tilting the head further than normally required. One button provides six power levels plus flash, and these offer a good level of light for camping and walking. The head tilt is held in place with a moulded ratchet. ...

Petzl Tikka Plus 2 2010

£37.00

The Petzl Tikka Plus 2 is a well-established classic with a great weight of just 83g, yet it provides 50 lumens of light and can stretch a beam to 35m. The housing has been reshaped too and unlike most battery houses this is incredibly easy to open, fit batteries and close in the dark. Also you get a power remaining ...

Optimus Crux Lite

£40.00

At 74g this stove is extremely lightweight, and it’s also extremely compact. There are a few stoves that weigh almost the same as this one, but the Crux Lite just about has the edge when everything else is taken into account. Firstly it’s easy to assemble and use the stove – you just have to fold out the pan supports. ...

Black Diamond Spot 2010

£43.00

A popular headtorch for many years, the Black Diamond Spot offers exceptionally lightweight performance. The battery case is pure genius as it opens just by tilting the head further than normally required. This makes fitting batteries in the dark easier than on any other headtorch I know of. Closure of the battery case is equally easy. One button provides six ...

Primus Micron Ti

£45.00

This stove weighs 70g (+ gas); boil time 2 min 25 sec to 4 min 12sec; 13cm diameter pan supports; folding pan supports for compact packing; superb price for performance. But not as stable as lower-profile stoves; best boil time is only available with fresh gas canister; only a 35mm diameter burner, so hot spots more likely than some heavier ...

Stormshield Latitude

£60.00

Like all the best mountain watches, this has a bearable weight (72g). The strap is synthetic, so it is fast-drying and there’s a chunky metal buckle that looks capable of taking lots of abuse. The face is ringed with a metal on the front and it has a steel backplate too, making it highly durable. The screen is sunk into ...

Primus Eta Express

£60.00

The Eta Express is the one-person version of the Eta Power stove, and both are superbly efficient thanks to their use of a heat exchanger on the base of the pan. In fact, the burner on the Eta Express is identical to the Primus Express with ignition unit, so it’s the pans that are key and they manage to deliver ...

SOTO Micro Regulator Stove 2011

£75.00

Clicking the ignition on the SOTO Micro Regulator Stove in the dark of our bothy, the first thing that struck us was the width of the flame that it generates, when running at full throttle. Canister stoves are light and deliver fast boil times but they don’t always sustain power output, because the gas in the canister cools as it’s ...

Timex e Compass 2009

£95.00

While most of the analogue mountain watches we looked at do little more than tell the time and possibly offer a stopwatch facility, the Timex e Compass also features a built-in compass. It requires careful calibration but it proved to be pretty accurate as long as it was away from electronic equipment. It’s comfortable on the wrist, waterproof to 100m ...

Barigo 52 2009

£120.00

The Barigo 52 is smaller than the 45SB, but just as easy to read. On the main Time Mode screen you can select from a range of additional data: altitude, barometric pressure or weather conditions. The combination of time and altitude works very well for navigation. The compass offers scrolling compass points rather like the Momentum VS-1, which I quite ...

Luminox EVO Navy SEAL Colormark 2009

£175.00

Luminox trades on its association with America’s elite Navy SEALs: its website is full of pictures of stealth bombers, camouflaged dudes and big biceps. Its Swiss-made watches have their own illumination technology. The Luminox EVO Navy SEAL Colormark is a sleek model that is lightweight, and features a unidirectional bezel and tough rubber strap. These are impressive watches with a ...

Suunto Core 2009

£216.00

The Suunto Core’s manual brilliantly explains how to get the most out of it on the hill. Aside from time functions, it’s the altimeter and barometer that make it so good. You can track your ascent, and set warnings when you hit certain altitudes, and it has a weather trend and storm warning function. You can lock and follow bearings ...
