The Kishtwar is part of The North Face’s Summit Series and it’s designed for highly aerobic endeavours in foul weather.

Lowe Alpine Quantum 2010

£160.00

The Lowe Alpine Quantum is the least wind-resistant garment here, which means it allows air to pass through easily so it’s ideal when wearing a soft shell under a waterproof hard shell. DesignThe green fabric used in the Lowe Alpine Quantum is Polartec Powershield, but compared to other jackets that use this fabric it is far less wind-resistant, which means ...

Mountain Equipment Shield 2010

£200.00

Arguably, soft shells work best in winter and alpine conditions, which is exactly what the Mountain Equipment Shield is designed for. Unlike most soft shells it makes use of a Gore Windstopper fabric as well as a Polartec Powershield fabric in combination to provide optimum performance in one jacket. DesignThe body of the Mountain Equipment Shield is made from the ...

Montane New Sabretooth 2010

£150.00

What’s in a name? The original Montane Sabretooth soft shell jacket was made from Polartec Windpro until July 2010, but from autumn 2010 there is a new version that uses Polartec Powershield. This new fabric has a membrane, which leads to a lower weight plus an increase in water resistance and wind resistance. What’s not to like? DesignThe old Sabretooth ...

Deuter Spectro AC24 rucksack

£80.00

An almost perfect compromise between weight and comfort, the Spectro is difficult to fault. The Aircomfort concave back system is cool, and the shoulder straps and waist straps are well-padded yet extremely breathable. The main compartment can be accessed via the traditional lid and drawcord or by a zip on the front, making it easy to get to stuff stowed ...

Vaude Triset 25+4 rucksack

£50.00

This latest Triset incarnation features narrower shoulder straps and a web of shock cord on the front that’s ideal for carrying a wet waterproof. It’s a tall, slim pack, with excellent compression straps that will hold just about any size load securely. And as such it’s best-suited to more energetic walking or even scrambling. It offers incredibly good value for ...

Osprey Stratos 24 rucksack

£75.00

A modern-looking, lightweight pack, the Stratos pushed the best rucksacks hard. The main compartment is accessed via a long zip that offers easy access, but at 22L, it’s one of the smaller packs in this category. The harness is wonderfully comfortable with mesh straps that always felt cool and supportive and an effective concave back system that enabled a good ...

Karrimor Airspace 25 rucksack

£55.00

The Airspace is a neat, good-looking pack with a great back system that feels both cool and very stable. It also has an excellent harness, with well-shaped, breathable mesh straps. Zip-access makes it easy to get kit in and out of the main compartment and the large front pocket is just about big enough for a hat and gloves. Side ...

Lowe Alpine Airzone 25 rucksack

£55.00

A great-looking pack, the Airzone is about the perfect size for summer walking and is built from materials that will certainly last.

Vango Airtek 25 rucksack

£40.00

With an efficient concave, airflow back system and a comfortable, breathable and very adjustable harness, the Airtrek offers superb value for money. It’s not the largest pack, and the split main compartment doesn’t help either, but it has useful pockets in the lid and on the front, and another on the hip belt that’s ideal for a GPS or small ...

Outwell Hiker rucksack

£27.00

An inexpensive pack and therefore understandably quite basic, but the Hiker still does the job, and is ideal if you tend to stick to shorter, easier walks where all you need is some water and a few snacks. The back system is flimsy and offers limited ventilation, but the harness does a reasonable job with plenty of adjustment where needed. ...

Regatta X-Ert 25L rucksack

£50.00

Quite a big, heavy pack but the X-ert is exceedingly comfortable, courtesy of a well-padded, adjustable harness. It’s well-featured, with useful bellowed side pockets, walking pole attachments, a single pocket in the lid and an easy-to-use single buckle for the main compartment. It has a concealed key pocket and a useful rain cover stowed beneath the main compartment. The back ...

Eurohike Hydra 25+5 rucksack

£30.00

The Hydra features a totally waterproof main compartment which seals with a roll-top in a similar way to a dry bag. This is obviously useful in bad weather, but it’s a bit over the top for general use, adding weight and also making the main compartment fiddly to access. It’s a fairly comfortable pack, with a good channelled back system ...

Golite VO24 rucksack

£70.00

The VO24 is one of the lightest packs tested, but it achieves this by compromising on comfort, making it less functional than most of the packs tested and therefore definitely best-suited to walkers who put weight first. The back system is very flimsy, necessitating careful packing if you’re carrying a flask or any other hard, bulky object, and whilst the ...

Haglöfs Lite Split Pant 2010

£80.00

The Haglöfs Lite Split Pants are very practical trousers. Firstly they have the essential feature of a convertible trouser that is going to be used when backpacking and hill-walking – and that is lower leg zips. These zips extend almost to the knee so you can whip off the lower legs without removing your boots. You can nip in the ...

Montane Terra Converts 2010

£75.00

While pretty much any trousers can be used for hill-walking, some are better than others – and the Montane Terra Converts are feature-packed to lift them above the opposition. They are reasonably light, so they’re good for backpackers. The material is a fast-drying nylon as used by many brands, but it benefits from reinforcement panels on the knees and seat ...

Rohan Essential DC Trousers 2010

£65.00

It was not long ago that zip-offs were definitely uncool. Now the coolest trousers have multi-length zip-offs! The Rohan Essential DC Trousers can be zipped off to calf length or to knee length. This is practical and fashionable, so Rohan is onto a winner in my view. Like all Rohan gear these trousers are perhaps better suited to travel than ...

Craghoppers Nosilife Convertibles 2010

£60.00

Craghoppers is well-known for its range of trousers, but the Nosilife Convertibles boasts the addition of NosiLife, the world’s first permanent insect-repellent fabric, according to the manufacturers. The material feels like cotton and is very comfortable, and of course it should help keep away those insects in summer when you bare your legs most. There are two seat patch pockets ...

Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pant 2010

£60.00

The Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pants have a broad range of great features. The fabric is a mini-ripstop so, if torn, at least the tear won’t extend too far across the trouser due to the ripstop design. The fabric is fast-drying like other fabrics here too. The trousers also have double stitching to increase durability in the long term. To ...

The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible 2010

£59.00

The Tekware fabric is relatively heavy, which gives the The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible trousers a much more durable and hard-wearing feel. There’s also double stitching throughout, to again enhance durability. A crotch gusset improves comfort too while an elasticated waist with a belt means this should fit most people. The trousers feature calf zips so the lower legs ...

Mountain Hardwear Mesa Convertible Pant 2010

£55.00

My favourite convertible trousers are the now discontinued Mountain Hardwear Convertible Pack Pant. The new Mountain Hardwear Mesa Convertible Pant does retain one feature from these old classics, though – the smooth micro-chamois waist lining, which makes the waist area extremely comfortable under a pack hipbelt. The Mesa also has an elasticated waist with an integrated belt, which is ideal ...

Merrell Bison Convertible 2010

Merrell is best-known for its footwear, but they do also produce clothing – and the Bison Convertibles proves they can do a good job of it.

Royal Robbins makes a wide range of travel clothing and much of it is extremely practical, but more significantly some of the range extends into sizes not catered for by other brands.
