reviews of the best equipment for outdoor, active, adventure, travel, camping
Independent gear reviews of the best equipment and kit for camping, whether with the family, wild camping, lightweight camping or on expeditions including tents, stoves, sleeping mats, sleeping bags, lanterns, seating, cool boxes and more.
We put Vaude's latest update to the Terra range of tents to the test, the Terrahogan 2p.
We put the behemoth that is the MSR Rendevous Wingtarp 200 to the test to see if it can provide worthy shelter for group camping trips.
Packing small and light we were keen to test whether the Thermarest NeoAir XLite comes up to standard for comfort too.
Finding a drybag that doesn't add to the pack size is ideal for bikepacking, so we test if the Sealline Blockerlite still cuts the mustard and keeps our gear dry.
You need to cover your head for a comfortable night, so we test if the feathery light Rab Siltarp2 will keep us dry despite its astonishing pack size.
Lightweight and packable, the Rab Alpine Bivvy didn't take up a lot of room in our pack. But would it stand the test of a bikepacking trip?
We step into the dark to test the latest in high-tech head torches from Petzl, the Reactik Plus.
There is only one way to test a sleeping bag, and that is under the stars. So that is exactly where we took the Alpkit Pipedream 400.
We never need much of an excuse to stop for a brew on the trail, so testing this stove, pot and spork kit from Alpkit needed little persuasion.
We take the Fyrestorm stove from Coleman wild camping on Waun Fach to test its performance.
We review Griffin's Survivor Slim protective case for the iPhone 5 to see if it can cope with the rough and tumble of an active lifestyle
We put the Coleman Excursion 36QT cool box to the test at the height of the British summer.
The North Face is synonymous with the great outdoors, which is where we put its Gold Kazoo sleeping bag to the test.
We test the Softie 9 Hawk sleeping bag to see if its straightforward no-frills approach is all you need for 3-season camping comfort.
We test UST's Base Bug Tent shelter and BASE all-weather tarp for minimalist bite-free bivvying under the stars
