Rab Vapour Rise (2012)

£90.00

The Pertex Equilibrium fabric used in this jacket doesn’t have that stretchy, almost wetsuit-like feel of some soft shells. Instead it uses a looser weave of material. This means the fabric is a little less windproof than some, but a lot more breathable. When walking hard uphill, the fabric is a dream. The inner fleecy layer helps to trap heat ...

Regatta Gravitator (2012)

£65.00

One of the lightest tops out there and good for warmer conditions, with thin fabric and great stretch. A lack of membrane technology, coupled with the relatively open fabric weave, creates great levels of breathability, although at the expense of some windproofing. If the weather turns very cold or windy, you may need to slip a shell over the top. ...

Osprey Aura 50 (2012)

£120.00

At first glance the Osprey Aura 50 appears to be crammed with clips, straps and attachment loops – and it is! There is an impressive six external pockets and Osprey’s patented Stow on the Go trekking pole attachment system, which allows you to keep your poles slotted to your left side for easy access. This is useful in theory when ...

Kathmandu Voltai (2012)

£100.00

As the lightest and cheapest of the rucksacks in our test, compromises have had to be made. In the case of the Kathmandu Voltai it’s that there’s only one back length available and it isn’t adjustable – so it will either fit you or it won’t! Also there is only one main compartment, rather than two found on others, and ...

Kathmandu Monrovia (2012)

£85.00

Put on a Kathmandu jacket and people may assume you’ve just come back from New Zealand, because down under everyone’s wearing this popular Kiwi/Aussie brand. Well, it’s now in the UK! The Monrovia is designed to be lightweight and easy to pack when walking or travelling. The jacket is made from a 2.5-layer fabric with a print on the inside, ...

The North Face Venture (2012)

£110.00

To increase its green credentials, the main fabric in the The North Face Venture uses 50 per cent castor oil rather than 100 per cent petroleum in its membrane, thus reducing its environmental impact. The fabric does not control condensation quite as well as higher-priced jackets, though. The jacket weighs little and packs down into one of its pockets. The ...

Mammut Hera Element 40+ (2012)

£125.00

The Mammut Hera Element 40+ (as you might imagine) boasts a capacity of 40+ litres, but accommodates a generous amount of kit with room to spare, so it’s good for trips of several days. The rucksack has two compartments, one of which can be zipped away to create a single space, and large tags on the lower zips are perfect ...

Columbia Talus Ridge Mid (2012)

£130.00

These feel more like a high-ankled running shoe than a walking boot. They are incredibly light, with great cushioning underfoot, but they lack much protection in and around the upper section. For a walker, the design makes them a great option for warmer days on easier ground – the lack of solid toe protection in particular can be a bit ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Buxton Mid WP (2012)

£75.00

This is a sub-£100 boot built for paths and trails, and best-suited to lower-level walking away from rocky mountain tops. The medium-soft sole provides reasonable amounts of support and cushioning, giving good padding on harder terrain such as roads and stone paths. The uppers are very soft, making breaking-in easy. Grip-wise, their reasonably wide-spaced lugs give some traction, although they ...

Keen Siskiyou Mid WP (2012)

£85.00

Here’s another in the breed of lightweight, flexible mid-height boots that have more in common with multi-activity shoes than traditional stiff and heavy walking boots. As a result, they’re at their best when used in a range of low-level terrain, without too many challenging features to get in the way. Grip levels are good for drier conditions and some mud, ...

Peter Storm Dalmore (2012)

£60.00

These may feel harsh at first because the ankle cuff is quite stiff, but they’ll soon soften up. The fit is wide and forgiving, and while they’re a little short in the toe for the size, they lace up well to provide a fairly secure fit. The ankle cuff is on the low side, while the uppers are quite soft ...

Trezeta Juliette Mid WS (2012)

£100.00

These are the lightest boots in the test at only 470g per foot. The fit is snug for the size – it will especially suit women with narrow feet – and the lacing system easily spreads tension across the foot. The ankle cuff is fairly low, so doesn’t offer much support, and it’s also cut at an odd angle that ...

Merrell Moab Mid Gore-Tex (2012)

£110.00

These are more like a mid-cut version of a multi-activity shoe than a traditional boot. This means they lack the protection and support of a sturdier model. Of course, in return they do offer great comfort levels, with the combination of a soft sole unit and flexible mesh and mixed-material uppers providing great comfort right out of the box. Although ...

Berghaus Explorer Light GTX (2012)

£100.00

This is a great boot for lower-level walking, offering great comfort levels. The sole unit is fairly soft, and so works well on less challenging terrain. The middling levels of ankle support also make for good comfort levels, but it’s not so great on rougher terrain, especially with the softer upper construction. The fit is fairly relaxed and best-suited to ...

Contour Trail (2012)

£90.00

These are really comfortable boots that will feel great straight from the box. The fit is supportive yet easy enough to accommodate a variety of foot shapes. They’ve got a nice contemporary look, with metal lacing eyelets and reassuringly tough fabric. The laces are rather short, though – one to watch if you’ve got wide feet and need more room. ...

Outdoor Research Crocodiles (2012)

£55.00

Outdoor Research Crocodiles are very tough gaiters that are longer and have a higher volume around the ankle cuff than others, which makes them more suitable for fitting over mountaineering boots but baggy when fitted over smaller, lightweight walking boots. They are made from Gore-Tex with particularly robust reinforcement at the ankle cuff, making them more suitable than other gaiters ...

Blacks Carbon Lite (2012)

£50.00

Made from carbon, which makes them incredibly light and a good option for travelling or those not keen on an upper body workout. They do have quite a bit of flex, which isn’t necessarily great for when you’re putting a lot of weight on them. In addition, the twist-lock system isn’t particularly effective. The tested pair did slip after prolonged ...

Leki Makalu Trail AS (2012)

£55.00

A fairly standard pair of poles from market-leader Leki. They feature an anti-shock system that does provide a decent amount of spring on all terrains (not just road) although it may be a little too soft for some. The poles aren’t the stiffest in the world but they work fine, without any slipping from the twist-lock grips. The real selling ...

Cotswold Outdoor Explorer UL (2012)

£54.00

These are actually made by Italian manufacturer Fizan and offer a decent budget option. Lightweight with decent strength under loading, they don’t flex too much. The lack of an anti-shock system may not suit everyone, but wasn’t a problem in use. Handgrips are fine and straps do the job with minimal amounts of fuss and reasonable comfort. The twist-lock system ...

Fizan Prestige (2012))

£50.00

Some of the lightest poles in the test but it hasn’t impacted on their strength in use. When loaded with weight, the pole doesn’t really wobble or flex too much. The anti-shock system is decent enough too, with a good amount of spring, without being too noisy on harder terrain. It can be a little tricky to get the knack ...

Marmot Dena Jacket (2012)

£130.00

Not only can you lighten your backpack with the Marmot Dena Jacket (at 325g, size women’s S, it’s the second lightest jacket in our test) but you can also boost your green credentials as the synthetic insulation is made from 100 per cent recycled fabric. Despite its light weight it does keep you relatively warm, and it can pack down ...

Blacks Compact Pole (2012)

£50.00

The Blacks Compact Pole is very well-priced, and it also benefits from a reasonable set of features that are also well designed for its price. So you get a three-section pole that weighs in at 470g, which is very reasonable. It packs down to a good size too, so it sits neatly on a rucksack. The length adjustment is the ...

Marmot Baffin Half-Zip (2012)

£110.00

This is a kind of hybrid style of jacket that offers more warmth than a fleece with a bit of extra waterproofing thrown in. As a pullover style it won’t be to everyone’s taste, and it isn’t the easiest to take off in a hurry. But the thinking is that you shouldn’t need to take it off so often because ...

Helly Hansen Cross Insulator (2012)

£120.00

A classic mid-layer insulator jacket, in a bit of a 1970s ski jacket style. The synthetic fill allows it to work even in the wet and it’s not too thick so it fits under a shell easily enough. The relatively short cut of the body also helps with mid-layer performance. When used as a mid-layer, it can be a bit ...

Craghoppers Risor Half-Zip (2012)

£60.00

A fleece for walkers who don’t want to be seen in a fleece. Has the feel of a comfy pullover, but is still highly practical. The outer fabric feels a bit more like thick wool than fleece, which makes it a little more resilient to abrasion and resists the dreading pilling of the fabric over time. The inner fabric retains ...
