For a small savoury snack on a short walk, Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt has a clearly stated reduced-fat comparison and lists 2.8g fat per 22g pack, according to Walkers UK. Tyrrells describes its lentil crisps as having 30% less fat than standard potato crisps on average, but the brands use different comparison bases. For a longer walk, treat crisps as one item in the bag rather than a substitute for other food and water; nidirect advises eating enough for the activity and staying hydrated.
If you want a small savoury pack for a rest stop, look for an explicit fat comparison and check the amount in the pack you will carry. Walkers UK lists 2.8g fat per 22g pack of Oven Baked Sea Salt and states that it has 50% less fat than regular potato crisps.
A crisp pack can be one part of your food for the walk, but plan other food and water separately. For activity lasting more than 1.5 hours, nidirect suggests a high-energy snack such as a banana or dried fruit where practical, alongside enough food for the activity and hydration.
Check the exact flavour rather than assuming every crisp from a brand has the same ingredients. Seabrook labels its Sea Salted crisps vegan and gluten-free; allergy advice and suitability still need checking on the pack you buy.
Start with the labelled serving size: a fat claim, a per-100g figure and the contents of an individual bag answer different questions. Then consider what else you need to carry for the length of the walk.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced-fat claim | Read what the claim compares the crisps with, then compare fat per 100g and per pack. Walkers UK states 50% less fat than regular potato crisps for Oven Baked Sea Salt; Tyrrells states 30% less than standard potato crisps on average for its lentil crisps. | I want a lower-fat crisp, so I need to know what the percentage means and how much fat is in the portion I will eat. |
| Pack size and other food | Check the weight of each bag and plan food and water for the walk separately. Nidirect advises enough food for the activity, hydration and, for activity over 1.5 hours, a high-energy snack such as a banana or dried fruit where practical. | For a longer walk, I would pack crisps as a savoury extra, not rely on one small bag as all my food. |
| Salt | Read the salt figure for the exact flavour and serving size, not just its fat claim. Walkers UK lists 0.19g salt per 22g pack of Oven Baked Sea Salt. | If salt matters to my choice, I want to compare the amount in the bag I am taking. |
| Ingredients and suitability | Check the exact pack’s ingredients, allergy advice and any vegan or gluten-free labelling. These details can differ between flavours. | I need a snack that fits my ingredient or dietary requirements, regardless of whether its front label mentions reduced fat. |
A pack chosen for a walking break does not remove the need to plan food and fluids for a longer outing. Nidirect advises eating enough for the activity and staying hydrated.
Take crisps as an optional savoury item, with other food and water planned around the length of the walk.
Walkers UK compares Oven Baked Sea Salt with regular potato crisps, while Tyrrells compares its lentil crisps with standard potato crisps on average. The percentages are not a direct comparison between the two products.
Check the stated comparator and compare the nutrition figures using the same weight basis, as well as the amount in each bag.
A fat comparison does not tell you the salt content, ingredients or allergy advice for a particular flavour.
Read the exact pack’s nutrition and ingredient information before choosing it for your bag.
These named products illustrate different label claims and nutrition figures; a brand name alone does not establish that every flavour is reduced fat.

Its lentil crisps offer a different manufacturer-stated reduced-fat comparison.
Lightly Salted is a conventional potato-crisp reference when reduced fat is not the deciding requirement.
Sea Salted provides a standard-crisp reference with product-specific dietary labelling.
Salted is another conventional crisp to assess by its nutrition and allergy information rather than by the category name.

Do not rely on a small crisp pack as your only food for a long walk.

No. “Lightly salted” does not establish a reduced-fat comparison: KETTLE Chips lists 29.5g fat per 100g for Lightly Salted, whereas Walkers UK makes an explicit reduced-fat comparison for Oven Baked Sea Salt. Check fat per 100g and per pack on the exact product.
Keep the packet sealed, dry and protected from crushing, and follow its storage instructions. Keep the original packet available if anyone needs to check ingredients or allergy advice, and take the empty wrapper home.
