Merrell Chameleon Strap Mid 2011

£50.00

The Merrell Chameleon Strap Mid’s ankle cuff is lower than conventional boots but very stiff, so although only mid height it is very supportive.

Berghaus Raid Junior 2011

£50.00

The Berghaus Raid Junior is a well-established boot that remains unchanged again this year in terms of design and price. The fabric and suede upper hides a waterproof ling.

Keen Skyline Mid 2011

£60.00

The Keen Skyline Mid is a mid-cut boot with a lower ankle cuff than others in the test. What is striking about it though is the stiffness in the sole and toe box, which means it offers far better protection on rockier ground than others. The forefoot is also wide so it may suit some kids’ feet better than narrower ...

Helly Hansen K Shelter 2010

£70.00

The Helly Hansen K Shelter has two extremely large panels of reflective material on the sleeves, which makes this jacket extremely easy to see at night.

Berghaus Monsoon 2010

£40.00

The Berghaus Monsoon now uses AQ2, which is an updated version of the Aquafoil fabric that this jacket was made from in the past. There is a mesh lining inside for extra comfort.

Vasque Breeze Childrens 2010

£45.00

The Vasque Breeze Childrens is a waterproof fabric boot with lots of mesh on the upper to increase breathability.
