Welcome to the Outdoor 100 2022/23. Produced in association with Webtogs, it’s our guide to the latest and greatest outdoor gear and the result of a rigorous selection and testing process by our team of long-distance hikers, trail runners, ski mountaineers and climbers. We’ve been putting this gear to the test in a range of different environments; from the windblown Highlands of Scotland to the fells of the Lake District and even up to the remote alpine slopes of the Accursed Mountains in Albania.
Our selection of the best jackets for 2022/23, including waterproof shells and down and synthetic insulation
From trail running vests for ultra marathons through to 65-litre backpacks for hiking big distances
Everything for a camp set-up; from tents through to stoves
All you need for walking, scrambling, mountaineering, trail running and more
The extra essentials, including head torches, smartwatches, trekking poles and cookware
The all-important layers. Vests, socks, baselayers and trousers we rate above the rest
