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 ...

Trailwise Snolock Gaiter (2012)

£25.00

With a price tag that’s half that of some other options, the Trailwise Snolock Gaiter is clearly good value. It is made from cotton duck (better known as canvas), a woven cotton fabric. As it is not as breathable as some other fabrics it can get a bit clammy, but so do most gaiters, so this is arguably not a ...

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, ...

Outdoor Scene Journey

£40.00

These zip-off trousers from Outdoor Scene are on the big and baggy side - luckily they come with an elasticated waist and belt. The poly/cotton fabric feels great. Reasonably shower-proof, wind resistant, and very durable, they’re good all-rounders. There’s a good choice of pockets, including one that can take a map. The zip-off legs increase their versatility.

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.

Highlander Himalayan

£44.00

These trekking poles from Highlander have a good handle. The carbon fibre makes for a more flexible pole than the aluminium usually used. The four sections suffer from frequent slippage – markings on the lower two sections would help identify the slipped section. The lowest section is so thin it is very hard to grip tight enough – and as ...

Regatta Mantle

£48.00

The Mantle is quite a short jacket, yet it’s heavy and quite bulky too. This is mainly down to a mesh lining, which is comfortable but unnecessary in this type of jacket, and a stuff-sack pocket that comes with an elastic belt attached. It has a good selection of pockets (none that will take a map) but packaway hood is ...

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 ...

The CAMP Neve is a simple, stripped-down walking ice axe. The functional adze and pick are well-shaped for chopping steps, daggering and even a bit of front pointing.

These trekking poles weigh 488g; 57cm packed length; foam handle and shaft; supplied with snow and summer basket; 125cm max length; anti-shock can be turned on and off.
