Marmot Midweight Zip Neck IS (2012)

£45.00

A midweight top that seems best-suited to slightly cooler conditions. The inside of the fabric is lined with a waffle-effect finish to the Polartec Power Dry fabric, which not only helps trap a bit of heat but also helps draw moisture up and away from the skin. The fabric also has a decent amount of built-in stretch that gives it ...

Regatta Geo Extol II TRS

£46.00

These were quite a nice surprise – a pair of trousers with a technical climbing/walking look befitting of more expensive models. The off-coloured knee patches may not be to everybody’s taste, but they do add more movement to the legs, helping with bending and hill-climbs. They could do with being a little more reinforced however, as they do seem to ...

You cannot beat a massive, practical pocket in a pair of shorts, and the Páramo Maui Cargo Shorts get two of them! On each leg there is a cavernous pocket that allows you to easily stash an OS map and a small guidebook with space to spare. There is a dedicated mobile phone pocket too. You also get a pair ...

Craghoppers Nosilife Cargo Shorts 2011

£46.00

The Craghoppers Nosilife Cargo Shorts’ nylon fabric feels tough and durable, and it is fast-drying, making it excellent for those who want to wear shorts during rain showers. But the real benefit of this fabric is that it is treated with Nosilife to keep the biting bugs away. This is a permanent insect repellent so it won’t wash out over ...

Columbia Silver Ridge Cargo Short 2011

£40.00

Columbia Silver Ridge Cargo Shorts are made from ripstop nylon, so they won’t soak up too much water when ghyll scrambling or walking in the rain, and they won’t tear easily when scrambling on rock.

Gelert Venture Short 2011

£35.00

The Gelert Venture Short is made from four-way stretch fabric, rather than just two-way stretch. This makes these incredibly comfy when scrambling about outdoors. They also have a high-rise back, which is ideal for hot days with a rucksack as it prevents this area becoming sore due to sweat from a lumbar pad even when you bend over. The waist ...

Technicals Travel Short 2011

£30.00

For £30 I wasn’t expecting much, but the reality is that not only is the price great, but so is the product. The Technicals Travel Short is made from ripstop nylon, so it doesn’t soak up water when you sit on a wet bit of grass and they doesn’t tear when you sit on rock. They’ve antibacterial and antimosquito treatments ...

A new sandal for this spring, the Regatta Ad-Trek is a very practical design coupled with some modern styling. So you get an upper that is water-resistant to ensure it is fast-drying. The straps are Velcro, making them quick and easy to use, and there are three adjustment points so a reasonable fit should be easily achieved. The straps are ...

Patagonia Capilene 3 Midweight

£45.00

A true turtle neck top, for a change, the neck shape really helping to keep the heat in with its double layer of fabric without being constrictive. The 100% polyester material is surprisingly soft against the skin with a softer inside and harder-wearing face on the outside. The dimpled construction on the inside really helps to trap warm air close ...

Gelert Timor 2010

£45.00

The Gelert Timor is the lowest-priced waterproof jacket featured in our 2010 general-purpose jackets test, and lower-priced jackets are often poorly designed – but like so many other Gelert products this is actually very well-designed. The fabric is waterproof and breathable of course, and there is a mesh lining inside to improve comfort. But it is the jacket’s design that ...

Extremities Novagaiter 2010

£45.00

This Extremities Novagaiter is a durable gaiter that feels suitably robust for hill and mountain use. The front closure features a zip, a narrow strip of Velcro and two press studs to help align it neatly and easily. The drawcord, as with the Lowe Alpine design, sits at the side of the leg to stop any discomfort when kneeling, but ...

Lowe Alpine Mtn Gaiter 2010

£30.00

Much like the Berghaus GTX Gaiters, the Lowe Alpine Mtn Gaiters have the more modern tapered design to give as close a fit as possible – however these are cut slightly more generously. The Velcro front fastening with a press stud keeps them firmly in place once fitted, and securing the lace hook to my boots presented no problems. I ...

Trekmates Cairngorm Gaiter 2010

£30.00

The Trekmates Cairngorm Gaiter is a classic, no-fuss gaiter with a traditional elasticated cuff fit. The double press stud, Velcro and zip front closure are easy to use and ensure that once fitted these gaiters stay in place. I found that the lace hooks were easy to latch on with minimal fuss.

Outdoor Designs Wmns Perma Gaiter 2010

£20.00

The Outdoor Designs Wmns Perma Gaiter is a great price considering it’s made of eVent – one of the most breathable fabrics around. I liked the fact that the drawcord sits at the back of the leg, meaning it won’t be uncomfortable when kneeling or scrambling. A front closure consisting of a combination of a zip, Velcro and press studs ...

Keela Paraguay/Rio Zip Off Trouser 2010

£40.00

It would be easy to assume that for £40 you would not get very good trousers. But the Keela Paraguay/Rio Zip Off Trousers are superb, and far more impressive than their price suggests. The big advantage is the fabric, which is a lightweight stretch nylon. This makes the trousers incredibly comfortable while retaining a conventional style. The waist is elasticated ...

Karrimor Aruba 2010

£30.00

The Karrimor Aruba costs a fiver less than last year, when it was already an excellent-value product, so now it is hard to beat on price. It is a synthetic sandal, so it is fast-drying and potentially ideal for more active users who will use it for river crossings when trekking for example. The straps have Velcro adjustment at the ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Diablo 2010

£40.00

The Hi-Tec V-Lite Diablo was a superb price last year and it has not had a price increase, so now it is even more remarkable value. It offers more protection than some thanks to a rubber toe box and stretch material over the top of the foot. This makes this a much better option for walking in the countryside than ...

Lowe Alpine Lightweight Dryflo Zipneck base layer

£30.00

This light to midweight top offers a fairly comfortable fit and superb moisture management. The polyester fabric is just about warm enough to wear on its own in less demanding conditions and it offers excellent wicking. It also dries quickly, so clamminess is never a problem, even when resting after a long ascent. It feels nice against the skin, but ...

Patagonia Capilene 3 zip-neck base layer

£37.00

One of the heavier and warmer tops on the market and also quite expensive for a polyester top. It’s made from 64% recycled fabric and is itself recyclable. It works well as a base-layer, wicking well and drying reasonably quickly, but it’s also warm enough and weather-resistant enough to cope on its own in milder conditions, where the high collar ...

Rab LS AEON Tee base layer

A lightweight top and therefore not as warm as most, but as a dedicated base-layer it’s absolutely superb, being easy to move in, courtesy of ultra-stretchy fabric, and lovely and soft against the skin. It wicked brilliantly and dried in seconds, but it did pong after a couple of wears. An excellent component of a layering system and at a ...

Terramar Thermalator II base layer

£30.00

This absolutely excels as a base-layer in a multi-layer system, but lacks the versatility of some if the outer layers are stripped off. The polyester/spandex fabric feels fantastic, dries fast and wicks well, and the lengthy neck zip helps with ventilation. The cuffs are snug and come with thumb loops, always welcome on a cold winter’s morning when you need ...
