This is the final stage of the awards process, following 120 entries being received across ten categories. All products entered were on display and shortlisted by a panel of expert judges (including specialist outdoor retailers, journalists and gear testers) in July at the Outdoor Trade Show (OTS), the UK's largest outdoor trade exhibition.

The 2020 judging panel includes the following retailers, journalists and gear testers; Robert Brigham (Managing Director, Ellis Brigham Mountain Sports), Adrian Plumb (Senior Buyer, Tiso), Chris Townsend (Gear Tester, TGO), Iain Duff (Editor, Camping), Alan James (Director, UK Climbing & UK Hillwalking) and Graham Thompson (Gear Tester, Trail).
