AND RACHEL LOVED...

Rachel Broomhead is away on a big adventure at the mo, but here’s the at-a-glance guide to her big wins from 2021.

FINISTERRE Vela baselayer £45

A sumptuous and vegan-friendly blend of bamboo viscose and organic cotton with brilliantly thermostatic powers. Luxurious, sustainable, delightful. finisterre.com

FJÄLLRÄVEN Expedition Pack down jacket £255

Most down jackets feature a trade-off between warmth and breathability, but this manages both. And it’s bleedin’ brilliant. fjallraven.co.uk

OSPREY Tempest 20 £120

Designed for women, this terrific day-pack fits my body with a degree of comfort I rarely find with any unisex backpack, and offers superb freedom of movement. The men’s equivalent is the Talon 22. ospreyeurope.com

ANATOM V2 Suilven boot £130

Walking in these is a little like having a trampoline under your feet – boy are they bouncy. They’re also a holy-grail blend of comfort, support, grip and stability. anatomfootwear.co.uk
