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 ...

Wynnster Braemar

£35.00

These waterproof trousers from Wynnster feel tailor-made, and the soft, lined fabric doesn’t feel like it should be waterproof at all. Elasticated/drawcord waist, but pull tabs on the pocket zips would be good. Copes admirably in bad weather, but fiddlier to pull on than some.   Colours: Navy blue, blackSizes: S-XLFabric: Aquastop (polyester)/nylon taffeta liningWeight: 405gWomen’s version: YesContact: 01372 377713, ...

Berghaus Deluge Overtrouser

£40.00

These are definitely the best waterproof overtrousers for £40 that we tested. In particular they get a long leg zip, making them very easy to fit over boots. That zip also has a double stormflap with press studs, so it will keep out far more water than an exposed water-resistant zip for example. An even nicer addition is the ability ...

Trangia Trangia

£40.00

The Trangia is one of the most eternally popular camping stoves on the market, although it’s not to everyone’s taste. It is extremely simple, can’t go wrong and comes complete with a set of two pans, a frying pan that doubles as a lid, plus a perforated handle. It’s nearly impossible to knock over too. The built-in windshield makes it ...

Grivel Munro

£40.00

This ice axe has been Trail’s favourite ice axe for the last couple of years and it continues to set the pace on the slopes this winter. It wins as it would be very difficult to equip an ice axe any better for the typical British winter walker. You get the basic set of features that all winter walkers need ...

Timberland Youth Eurohiker

£40.00

A full leather upper makes the Timberland Youth Eurohiker children’s boot durable if looked after. The ankle cuff is high enough to keep the worst of the water, mud and grit out, while the supportive heel and toe box are well suited to rougher terrain. The outsole is reasonably aggressive and stiff too, again ideal for rougher terrain. But there ...

Big Agnes Clearview Air Pad

£41.00

This is the most compact alternative to the traditional self-inflating mattress. The Air Pad packs down incredibly small, but inflates to a respectable 200x50x5cm. There is no foam filling, and it’s clear to look through as the name suggests DesignThe Clearview comes packed in a tiny mesh stuffsack that can be easily slipped into a pocket of a rucksack, unlike ...

Petzl Charlet Snowalker

£50.00

As the name suggests, this ice axe is ideal for the walker heading to the snow, and it’s therefore suitable for most British hill-walkers. The shaft is a straight design and the head offers a gentle curve, making it suitable for walking in snow, where it can be used as a walking stick, while being ideal for hacking the odd ...

North Cape Idaho

£50.00

This midweight women’s fleece  from North Cape is impressively cosy, but the strip of fabric inside the collar is irritatingly itchy. It has a lovely high collar, though, and I the roomy, contoured fit and soft elasticated cuffs are fine too. Made from a very stretchy fabric and exceptionally warm, partly due to a windproof lining at the front, it’s ...

Primus Eta Express 2009

£60.00

The Primus Eta Express is the one-person version of the two-person Eta Power stove, and both are superbly efficient due to the use of heat exchangers on the base of the pans. The burner on the Eta Express is identical to the Primus Express with Ignition burner. So it is the pans and the windshield that are the key features ...

Sprayway Challenger

£60.00

This soft shell jacket from Sprayway is just the right size, with the cosy fleece-lined collar a perfect fit for trapping warm air. It’s let down by Velcro adjustable cuffs, which have no stretch in them and so are difficult to pull up. Great on a cold day with a midweight fleece (200 gsm), the Challenger is light, breathable and ...

Rohan Mountain Pass Overtrousers

£60.00

Rohan is well-known for making great travel gear, but these waterproof overtrousers are good enough for hill-walkers too, particularly as they feel more durable than some of the lighter options. They get 44cm side zips, which were long enough to allow easy fitting over my size 11 boots. The zips are fitted at the back of the calf and get ...

Kohla Evo Ultralite

£60.00

These Kohla Evo Ultralite poles are very light at 430g, with lots of good features, including a plastic grip to undo/tighten the bottom section easily. The straps look good, but aren’t all that comfortable and aren’t left or right-specific, either. There’s no anti-shock – but many walkers prefer this – though the poles could have been a little longer.

These warm trousers from Rab are light and soft against the skin – you’ll almost forgot you’re wearing them! The elasticated waist, which is backed up with belt loops, is great, but they are a little baggy.

Lowe Alpine Sierra Lite

£70.00

This soft shell jacket from Lowe Alpine is a good cut, and the snug, high, fleecy collar is great. However, it’s let down by cuffs that are too tight to pull up – an essential in this kind of jacket. Cut from a light and stretchy wind-resistant fabric, it matches the best in class for performance and handles rain slightly ...
