661 661 Dirt Lid

Advantages: it protect your head
Disadvantages: you get a sweaty head

...im on a tight budget so i got a cheap full face hellmet rrp £75 got it from cyclesuk for £50!! it very comfy and looks great with a pair of goggles, doing biking alot more now i have more time, being at college for only 3 days a week, get in. this leaves me friday and saturday to go biking and work sunay monday, but any way. the front mouth vent pous air into your mouth, the interier is not removable like some 661 models. But the decals on the outside are large bell logos and faint drawings of mechanics with what seems like dimensions on, dont ask why. the visor is exeptionaly use full as it protects your eyes from 8 oclock onwards untill about 4 0clock depending on the sunlight hours but you get my drift. anyway I would just like to say how sweaty you get in it it needs a couple more vents in it. other than that it makes me feel totaly...

Advantages: Super tough, military specification daysack with internal frame
Disadvantages: Not a lot of pockets!

...Made of 1000 denier textured nylon which is as tough as old boots, with synthetic fabric used on body contact areas. It is fast drying, durable and very comfortable on the back. The alluminium alloy frame gives excellent support and harness rigidity to the pack. The two buckle lid closure ensures maximum weatherproofing, plus gear can be held under the lid in good weather. Dual density foam ensures comfort and prevents items in the pack from digging into the back, and there is a waist belt with 25mm webbing which holds the pack snugly onto the back when crossing rough terrain. There are four accessory attatchment points from which 3 bar buckles can be used to attach straps additional to the elastic strapping. Ideal for use as a civilain or in the military!... Read review

Disadvantages: Bombproof fabrics and construction mean its a bit heavy

...Pod ruscacs are probably an unknown to many people, which is a shame because they are so very very good. A lot of climbers use them as they are comfy (with lots of heavy climbing gear in) and tough enough to haul up rock faces without too much harm (sharp limestone or gritstone will still leave its mark mind). Oh, and they dont cost a fortune The company isnt a big multinational wholesaler who imports or rebadges fashionable walking stuff. These guys and girls make and use the stuff (rumour has it they wreck the stuff too on meat hooks in the garage, to see how it breaks and make it better) and if you are after a tough slim profile rucsac with an extending lid this is one to seek out. The slightly smaller Cragsac has a fixed lid and is a few quid cheaper if that better suits your needs. For proper winter walking with crampons and axes... Read review
