£60.00

The Breva is a traditionally styled pack with an adjustable back length system – ideal for petite women. The harness carries loads well, but the broad shoulder straps won’t suit women with narrow shoulders. Conversely, the chest strap is quite short, which won’t suit women with large busts. There’s a rain cover in the lid, although it hasn’t got a ...

Golite VO24 rucksack

£70.00

The VO24 is one of the lightest packs tested, but it achieves this by compromising on comfort, making it less functional than most of the packs tested and therefore definitely best-suited to walkers who put weight first. The back system is very flimsy, necessitating careful packing if you’re carrying a flask or any other hard, bulky object, and whilst the ...

Haglöfs Lite Split Pant 2010

£80.00

The Haglöfs Lite Split Pants are very practical trousers.

Montane Terra Converts 2010

£75.00

While pretty much any trousers can be used for hill-walking, some are better than others – and the Montane Terra Converts are feature-packed to lift them above the opposition. They are reasonably light, so they’re good for backpackers. The material is a fast-drying nylon as used by many brands, but it benefits from reinforcement panels on the knees and seat ...

Rohan Essential DC Trousers 2010

£65.00

It was not long ago that zip-offs were definitely uncool. Now the coolest trousers have multi-length zip-offs! The Rohan Essential DC Trousers can be zipped off to calf length or to knee length. This is practical and fashionable, so Rohan is onto a winner in my view. Like all Rohan gear these trousers are perhaps better suited to travel than ...

Craghoppers Nosilife Convertibles 2010

Craghoppers is well-known for its range of trousers, but the Nosilife Convertibles boasts the addition of NosiLife, the world’s first permanent insect-repellent fabric, according to the manufacturers.

Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pant 2010

The Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pants have a broad range of great features.

The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible 2010

The Tekware fabric is relatively heavy, which gives the The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible trousers a much more durable and hard-wearing feel. There’s also double stitching throughout, to again enhance durability. A crotch gusset improves comfort too while an elasticated waist with a belt means this should fit most people. The trousers feature calf zips so the lower legs ...

Mountain Hardwear Mesa Convertible Pant 2010

My favourite convertible trousers are the now discontinued Mountain Hardwear Convertible Pack Pant. The new Mountain Hardwear Mesa Convertible Pant does retain one feature from these old classics, though – the smooth micro-chamois waist lining, which makes the waist area extremely comfortable under a pack hipbelt. The Mesa also has an elasticated waist with an integrated belt, which is ideal ...
