A roomy, versatile integrated cooking system with a pleasantly quiet burner and the option to use your own pan. It isn’t the quickest boiler, and the regulator only goes so far.
Excellent wind and rain protection, long ventilation zips and a hood built to take a helmet, put through its paces on Dartmoor and the South West Coast Path.
Stretchy, fast-drying and encouraging in the wind, with a concealed lace clip that turns the hem into a neat gaiter. The concealed lace clip is the clever bit. The one thing we’d change is the lack of reinforcement where trousers tend to wear first.
Exceptionally comfortable, properly warm and packed with useful details, with no overheating on autumn hikes or a trail run. The catch: it’s bulkier than a lightweight base layer, and we haven’t yet tested it in sub-zero conditions.
Inflates and deflates in seconds, doubles as a proper tent light and weighs just 160g. The catch is that it’s a touch bulkier than the ultralight pumps.
A comfortable, well-built pack with a smart feature set and a distinctive military-inspired look. The catch is capacity: 42 litres suits compact camping kit and not much bulkier.
Stretchy, quiet and breathable enough to leave on all day, with proper waterproof protection underneath. The catch is a £450 price tag, no pit zips and a hood that isn’t built for a ski helmet.

Comfortable under real loads, tough enough to shrug off years of granite and genuinely hard to fault for a couple of nights out.
Superb grip on dry rock, all-day comfort and durability that shrugs off years of Snowdonia. Just keep it out of the wet.
Sub-2kg, genuinely four-season, and under £320 — quite possibly the only UK tent you need.
Everything you need to camp wild in the UK — and actually enjoy it.
