, the UK鈥檚 biggest and best-selling hiking magazine, has announced the winners of its coveted Gear of the Year awards.

Trail has been the leading authority on outdoor kit for more than three decades, with its team of testers reviewing hundreds of products every year, it provides unrivalled buying advice to readers. The 2024 Gear of the Year awards recognise the standout products in eight core hiking gear categories, including best waterproof jacket, hiking boot, backpacking tent, and backpack.

After months of testing and fierce debate, the winners are revealed in the May issue of Trail magazine, which goes on sale today, 11 April. Alongside the 100-page free Gear Guide, this issue of Trail also guides you across Snowdonia鈥檚 8 most exciting mountain ridges, shows you how to bag Ireland鈥檚 3 highest peaks in one walk, and helps you plan a campervan adventure that lets you sleep closer than ever to your favourite hikes.

Oli Reed, Editor of Trail magazine states 鈥淭he early months of the year are always tense in the Trail office, because we spend most of that time arguing over who should win these awards! But, as always, our testers have done their job brilliantly and picked out what we believe to be the eight standout hiking gear releases of 2024.鈥�

鈥淲e take these awards seriously, because we know buying hiking kit is a big investment and that our readers want products that will not only keep them safe and comfortable on their adventures, but also hopefully last them for many years. Outdoor gear has come a long way in recent years, in terms of key factors such as performance, design, sustainability and value, and these awards recognise the brands and products we believe tick every box. Congratulations to all of the winners!鈥�
