How would you like to get your hands on the very bast hiking and backpacking kit that money can buy? Well, this could be your lucky day because we're giving away all 8 of the products that have won Trail magazine's prestigious Gear of the Year awards.

Over the past year, we’ve put a huge range of outdoor gear through its paces - on trails, summits, and in the toughest conditions. Some of it has been good, much of it great, but a select few pieces have truly stood out.
