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 ...

Regatta Geo Extol Zip-Off 2010

£30.00

At under half the price of some comparable trousers, the Regatta Geo Extol Zip-Off is clearly going to be a favourite in terms of cost. But this is more than a low-priced product, as it also has plenty of practical features that allow it to compete with the best here. The fabric is quick-drying nylon as with higher-priced trousers. The ...

Freeloader Pico 2010 solar panel

£17.00

The Freeloader Pico is a tiny solar panel with a built-in internal battery. So it needs to be charged from the sun before its power can be discharged to a device.

Keen Targhee 2010

£45.00

The Keen Targhee is a mid-cut boot with a very breathable upper, making it ideal for summer walks. The rubber toe bumper is ideal for extra protection and there is a waterproof lining. Better still the wide forefoot is ideal for broader feet and allows young toes to develop without restriction. But many others have more aggressive lugs for grip ...

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. The upper is very soft, so it will certainly mould to the foot easily and feel comfy straight from the box. Underfoot there is a good lug pattern for keeping a grip in the mud too.  But the upper may not ...

Salomon Elios Mid WP 2010

£45.00

The Salomon Elios Mid WP is a good-looking boot with a good durable upper, a stiff toe box and a heel cup that offers plenty of support on rougher terrain. There is a waterproof lining too and this combined with the ankle cuff should help keep feet dry. The outsole has a good aggressive lug pattern too for grip in ...

The North Face Prophecy 2010

£35.00

The The North Face Prophecy is a low-cut shoe with very open mesh, which affords excellent breathability. The outsole has a good lug pattern too to provide great grip in the mud. As it is very light it is great for running around in, and it looks pretty good too. Great for use in dry locations. But the ankle cuff ...

Hi-Tec Altitude IV JR WP 2010

£35.00

The Hi-Tec Altitude IV JR WP is a great little boot that mirrors a traditional walking boot. A leather upper with a waterproof lining is built onto an excellent sole unit that has plenty of support and deep lugs. The toe box is stiff too. This feels ideal for a wide variety of hill terrain. The price is superb too. ...

Meindl Magic Junior Mid 2010

£40.00

The Meindl Magic Junior Mid feels quite substantial and has good stiffness throughout to provide support and protection on rough terrain. Rubber at the toe box and heel add a little extra durability too. Underfoot there is a reasonably grippy lug pattern for mud.  But this has quite a low ankle cuff, so it’s not ideal for rough terrain. Some ...

Timberland Trailscape 2010

£40.00

The Timberland Trailscape is a low-cut shoe has a breathable mesh upper, making it ideal for walking in warm weather far from any puddles. There is protection around the shoe with suede. The lacing is easy for children thanks to a quick-release drawcord design.  But as this is a low-cut shoe it does not offer the ankle protection of a ...

Peter Storm Harrison 2010

£35.00

Available in boys’ and girls’ colours, the Peter Storm Harrison offers reasonable protection for the foot with a waterproof lining. There is some reasonable stiffness underfoot too. This is a generally well-designed valley walking boot that should be fine for many children. But take this boot onto the hills and the drawbacks may become more evident. The toe box is ...

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 ...

Regatta Ad-Splorer 2010

£25.00

The Regatta Ad-Splorer is an extremely low-priced sandal, which is its main benefit. It is completely made from synthetic materials, which makes it ideal for use in wet conditions as it dries very fast. There are three Velcro straps, which allows good adjustment at the heel, ankle and forefoot. The heel strap can be removed to convert this to a ...

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 ...

Peter Storm Adventure Low 2010

£45.00

The Peter Storm Adventure Low weighs 1040g (pair, size 11); low price; waterproof lining; rubber toe rand; very stiff toe box; stiff outsole ideal for rocky ground; aggressive outsole lug pattern. But it does not feel quite as comfortable or as well-fitting as higher-priced models.

Regatta Geo Extol

£45.00

Flattering and versatile trousers that are a great choice for UK hillwalkers. The slimline, low-rise fit looks great both on and off the hill, and is extremely comfortable too. The fabric feels reassuringly tough, resists water and wind very well, and dries really quickly too. There is a zip-access mesh panel on each thigh – perfect when you want some ...

Mountain Hardwear Mesa Pant

£45.00

Made from a lovely, soft, lightweight fabric that is best-suited to warm conditions. The cut is loose, with a baggy, straight-cut leg and a waistband that sits comfortably on the hips. The fabric proved wonderfully breathable, with a good DWR coating to keep them dry. The fabric also has a fast drying time. As a walking trouser, they are let ...

Hawkshead Walker

£29.50

The waist band is high and rather small for the size stated, while the seat and thighs are much more generous. There is some elastic in the waist, and loops for a belt if you need one. Come in two leg lengths to help you get a good fit, and many will love the simple, uncluttered design. The fabric is ...

Craghoppers Kiwi Stretch

£45.00

The classic Kiwi pant cut from a stretchy nylon fabric. It definitely works as far as movement is concerned and even the most agile walker wouldn’t feel restricted. But they do lose a little of the casual appeal of the classic pant. They resist a little rain well, and they dry quickly after a soaking. And the SolarDry+ fabric is ...

Peter Storm Active

£25.00

Inexpensive but still a useful walking pant, especially if not asking too much from them. The poly/cotton fabric soaks up water more easily than most, and definitely doesn’t dry as quickly, but they do keep the wind off, and the fit is quite neutral, meaning they’re not bad to move in. Good selection of pockets, including two quite sizeable cargo ...

Source Widepac 2010

£20.00

Source makes similar bladders for at least two other outdoor companies (Deuter and Kathmandu) but keeps the best design features for itself. The Widepac offers an upgraded bite valve that twists easily to allow or prevent the flow of water. It has a brilliant sliding closure that is exceptionally easy to use and very secure. You can remove the hose ...

Osprey HydraForm Reservoir 2010

The Osprey HydraForm Reservoir, a newcomer to the market, is designed to go with Osprey’s new range of Manta packs, produced more with the needs of bikers in mind than walkers – but it is available separately. The plastic around the screw lid reinforces the hose attachment and forms a handle that makes filling much easier. The back panel is ...

Platypus Big Zip SL 2010

£25.00

I really like the flexibility of being able to remove the hose from the bladder when you want to refill the Platypus Big Zip SL. It means less time faffing with your pack and makes it easier to refill from streams – which is less of an issue if you’re biking or on short day walks but a real bonus ...

Camelbak Omega Plus Reservoir 2010

£29.00

The Omega Plus is a step up from Camelbak’s standard Omega Reservoir but not quite as posh as its top-end Deluxe model, which is fitted with the flow meter that we reviewed in the April issue (page 9). But this model will more than meet the expectations of most Trail readers: it comes with a removable hose that locks off ...
