EACH YEAR, our team does hundreds of hours of field testing in all weathers and seasons, across Britain and further afield. From this, we draw up a shortlist, which leads to more discussion and deliberation. Trust is key to the entire process: we only award in categories where we identify a clear candidate, and all our tests are conducted 100% independently. So, without further ado, we present The Great Outdoors’ pick of the crop for 2024.
We’ve narrowed it down to a selection of over 30 superb products in 16 categories. These awards recognise the best outdoor equipment available, all thoroughly tested by our team of expert gear testers in the hills and wild places from the Scottish Highlands to Dartmoor. We’ve also awarded brands pushing innovation and sustainability, brands that are driving the outdoor industry forward to better and more environmentally friendly products.
