Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Stretch

£47.00

Made from a tough polyamide/spandex blend, the Kiwi Pros feel as agile and comfortable as the name suggests. The fabric is lightweight and stretches easily with leg movement for maximum comfort and agility on tough hillwalks. They’ve also been treated with Craghoppers SolaDry sun protection, and a water-repellent finish which will make sure they stay dry in a shower. And ...

Berghaus GTX Gaiter 2010

£30.00

Unlike the more traditional elasticated cuff design, Berghaus has opted for a tapered fit with its GTX Gaiter, which means no bunching of excess fabric when you tighten the easy-to-use drawcord. For me these were the best fit of all the gaiters we tested. The design makes for a close fit that I found was perfect, despite the gaiters not ...

Montane Dragonfly Shirt 2009

£40.00

Some base layers we looked at were designed to cover a number of activities – including skiing and yachting. But the Montane Dragonfly Shirt has obviously been designed for UK walking. Utilising two grades of Polartec Powerdry fabric, the back and arms get high-wicking fabric while the chest and underarms get a stretchier weave, which is tough and enables excellent ...

ICEBREAKER ATLAS HALF-ZIP

£40.00

Review: The midweight merino wool feels soft and comfortable against the skin and offers plenty of stretch for easy movement. Collar feels snug, warm and very cosy. However, while the body is ideal for moisture management and warmth, it’s a little too figure-hugging for casual use. Couldn’t fault the Atlas on the hill. It seemed to have a wider temperature ...

Jack Wolfskin Hoggar Shorts

£40.00

These rugged trekking shorts offer an excellent compromise between light weight and durability, with lots of useful features for the hill: a waistbelt, side pockets, UPF 40 sun protection and an extra comfort zone around the waist. With a slightly longer cut these were among our favourites on the hill and are definitely at the top of our, ahem, short-list, ...

Salomon Vertigo Shorts

£30.00

Made from actiLITE Tech nylon, these were noticeably the lightest shorts we reviewed, making them an ideal extra to throw in your sack if the weather looks promising. They have a sun protection factor of UPF 50 and benefit from draw-string adjustment at the waist (ideal if you shed a few pounds on a long distance path). Simple, but all ...

Divide and Conker Men’s T-shirt

£40.00

Natural fibre base layers are increasingly popular because of their ability to deal with moisture and help control temperature, their antimicrobial properties and their downright comfort. Made by newcomers Divide and Conker, this is a heavier merino wool T-shirt than the two others we looked at, but for sheer comfort it was our favourite T-shirt  and we rated it ‘Best ...

The North Face Meridian Convertible

£45.00

A great fit – ticking all the boxes at the waist, with belt loops, elastic panels and a drawcord. The nylon fabric is very comfortable against the skin, and the zips used to remove the legs are so well designed that you don’t really notice them when walking. Wind-resistant and incredibly quick-drying, these are ideal for most UK hillwalking conditions. ...

This mitt one its first award from Trail magazine back in November 2002, and for many walkers it's been their favourite mitt ever since. Firstly, it costs £20 some competitors and for your cash you are getting a good waterproof and breathable shell that benefits from a leather palm for extra durability. The fingers and thumb are well-shaped to provide a good fit. ...

Lowe Alpine Hot Grip

£40.00

This winter glove offers everything most hill-walkers will want if they prefer a built-in liner rather than a removable liner. The Hot Grip benefits from a very durable palm made from leather that looks ideal for withstanding the rigours of scrambling and roped climbing. The back of the hand and fingers is protected with cushioning to resist knocks when ice ...
