Vango Apex 200 (2013)

£200.00

The Vango Apex 200 is intended as a lightweight, compact option for the adventurer looking for an open and easily accessible tent, so it tips the scales at 1722g, which is instantly impressive. The inner and fly pitch in one with a single pole sliding through a sleeve around the outside of the fly, and then a second transverse pole ...

Crux Torpedo 900 (2013)

£800.00

Made for ‘Himalayan climbing from 6000 to high-7000 metre peaks’, the Crux Torpedo 900 is a truly high-spec piece of kit. Not that it’s exclusively for use just below the death zone; its high level of waterproofing (via a tough 2-layer eVent outer) makes it ideal for more extreme British activities, such as snowholing or bivvying where high levels of ...

Mountain Equipment Glacier 1000 (2013)

£380.00

New for 2013, this is Mountain Equipment’s prime bag for the winter hillwalker. In previous years this accolade has gone to the Snowline from the firm’s ‘Extreme’ range, but after years of service it has been rewarded with a waterproof shell and upgraded to a top-end expedition bag. Luckily, much like the Snowline, the new Glacier is an excellent all-rounder ...

Cumulus Prime 700 (2013)

£345.00

Lightweight fans note: the Cumulus Prime 700 offers an extremely impressive weight rating of 1210g and an equally attractive lower comfort rating of -18 deg C. If these numbers leave you cold, then holding the Prime 700 in your hands certainly won’t. It’s a staggeringly light piece of kit, yet it hasn’t sacrificed noticeable levels of comfort or performance to ...

Rab Ascent 900 (2013)

£250.00

Rab is a brand that commands great customer loyalty, and the Ascent 900 is a perfect example of its quality. Using efficient down insulation it offers an excellent lower comfort rating of -19 deg C (outperforming other similarly priced bags), and all at a decent weight of 1700g: very impressive when you consider the price tag. Comfort levels are excellent, ...

Alpkit SkyeHigh 1000 (2013)

£180.00

Given the level of insulation it offers, the price tag of the Alpkit SkyeHigh 1000 is very impressive – this is a great-value bag. Alpkit is a UK-based firm that keeps its costs down by selling directly to the consumer via its website. This also means you can choose the length and zip-side of your bag as you order it online. ...

Kathmandu Altai Pack V2 (2012)

£120.00

The Kathmandu Altai Pack V2 is a nice, clutter-free pack with a narrow profile to make it ideal for scrambling or mountaineering, but it is also comfortable enough for more general hill and mountain walks and lightweight overnight trips. The back system is a padded design with raised areas to allow a little more airflow across the back. This is ...

Berghaus Bioflex 45 (2012)

£140.00

Berghaus has been developing the Bioflex back system for a few years now and for 2012 the system has been revamped to be lighter, but this sack is still on the heavy side at 1620g. However, according to Berghaus the Bioflex system reduces stress, strain and fatigue – so it is possible that this will compensate for the extra weight. ...

Lightwave Fastpack 50 (2012)

£115.00

Lightwave’s Fastpack range of rucksacks is designed for winter trips or lightweight weekend backpacking trips, and they benefit from being much lighter than the average 50 litre rucksack (this is 1162g). Also when compared to other 50 litre packs they are larger too, so you may actually feel the Fastpack 40 is big enough for your needs at just £100 ...

Osprey Talon 44 (2012)

£100.00

Osprey’s Talon range has become extremely popular in recent years. The Talon 44 has a moulded back panel with a mesh covering to provide good airflow, and the hipbelt and shoulder straps are also perforated to reduce weight and condensation build-up. This all adds up to a very stable and comfortable carry. The body of the sack has one main ...

Fjällräven Funas 45 (2012)

£120.00

The Fjällräven Funas 45 has a simplified design that is at home when hillwalking or packing for lighter overnight trips. It has a padded back system with moulded channels to increase airflow across the back, and this makes this sack better suited to walking than more mountaineering-orientated designs. The back system is very comfortable against the body, although the higher-priced ...

Karrimor Alpinist 45+10 (2012)

£110.00

The Karrimor Alpinist has been a classic pack since the 1980s, but not all incarnations of the model have been as good as the original. However this 2012 version is superb. At 1404g the Alpinist 45+10 is slightly heavier than some sacks, but it is a more durable design with a nice set of tough features that make it ideal ...

Lowe Alpine Alpine Attack 45:55 (2012)

£140.00

As the name suggests, the Lowe Alpine Alpine Attack 45:55 is very much directed toward the mountaineering end of the spectrum, but it is also great for more technical hillwalks, scrambles and winter mountain walking. It uses a new material that is more durable than previous Lowe Alpine fabrics and so it should withstand scrapes on rock better than most. ...

Gregory Savant 48 (2012)

£110.00

Forming part of Gregory’s All Mountain series, the Savant 48 is designed for overnight trips, trekking and general mountain use. The back system is a moulded panel with a mesh covering to allow some airflow across the back, and it is arguably the most comfortable back system here. On the back it feels stable too, although it does not provide ...

First test: Hilleberg Anjan 3 (2012)

£525.00

‘Considered quality’ is the phrase that perhaps best summarises Hilleberg. In its 40 years the Swedish tentmaker has produced a relatively small run of designs, but few have failed to become the most desirable examples of their kind. The Nallo and Akto models in particular have become classics –products effortlessly right, light and built to last for life. Designs over ...

Nordisk Pasch PU (2012)

£170.00

The Pasch PU is described as a one-person tent by Nordisk, but it is marketed in the UK as a lightweight two-person tent for events such as the Original Mountain Marathon (OMM). So it is pretty lightweight at 1930g, but there is a nylon version – the Pasch Si – that is only 1740g, if your priority is weight. It ...

Wild Country Zephyros 2 (2012)

The Wild Country Zephyros 2 is the big brother to the one-person Zephyros 1, which is a superb little tent for solo backpacking. The two-person version is the same design but the inner is wider and longer. It pitches easily by slipping the single pole through a sleeve around the outside of the flysheet, and there are two vertical poles ...

Osprey Stratos 34 (2012)

£85.00

Osprey packs are best known for their incredible levels of comfort, and the Stratos is no exception. Throw this pack on and you get great airflow from the AirSpeed back system, which means you don’t feel too sweaty. But the pack also fits closely and really hugs the body, making this a very stable carry too. In terms of comfort ...

Berghaus Freeflow 30+6 (2012)

£85.00

The Freeflow has been a Berghaus classic for many years, but for 2012 it has a new adjustable back system. This features a sprung mesh layer that holds the pack away from the wearer but unlike the older version, which had an excessively curved back panel, this new system does not impact on the shape of the main compartment, so ...

Vaude Brenta 30 (2012)

£85.00

The Vaude Brenta 30 has an Aeroflex back system, which holds the pack away from the wearer to increase airflow and thereby reduce that horrible clammy feeling. But what’s particularly interesting is that the back system can be adjusted to increase the curvature of the pack, thus increasing the airflow, or decrease the curvature of the back to reduce airflow ...

Snugpak Ionosphere (2012)

£130.00

There are fewer differences today between small tents and poled bivvy bags, but the Snugpak Ionosphere sits at the tent end of the scale, thanks to its use of a two-pole design that requires that the inner is pitched first before the outer is draped over the top. Its low profile and robust design rebuff wind and rain well, but ...

The F10 Helium 100 has won ‘Best Value’ awards from Trail in the past, but the 2012 version is even better. The tent is based around a single precurved transverse pole that slips through a sleeve in the outer, to create a side entry tunnel. There’s an additional vertical pole at each end to add extra headroom. There are now ...
