Alpina Adventure CRV 11

Advantages: Great for sking, many pockets
Disadvantages: Can't think of any, such a good bag

...This is the perfect rucksack for any adventurers out there, with many pockets for specific uses, like a soft pocket for goggles or glasses, a pocket for avalanche probes, and a pocket and hole for mp3 player and head phones, also great for biking due to the 2 litre hydration pack that is neatly stored haning from the bag, the tube has a lock so no water can dribble out. Very thin and extremely compfortable. the fabric is very durable and has two buckles to hold ski's blades or a snowboard vertically or horizontally, paded waist strap and many loops and clips to hold ice axes spades and keys. An overall great adventure rucksack for any skiers, snowboarders bikers or climbers.... Read review

Advantages: Good Value for money with 11 functions
Disadvantages: Slightly too thick for a wallet

...by 5cm wide and is exactly the same size as a credit card. It is obviously thicker (4mm) than a credit card in order to be able to hold all of its functions. The card is plastic and comes in matt grey or three ‘just jelly’ colours – transparent red, green and blue which are very funky indeed. The one I have is blue.

...The Tactical Series undergear from 5.11 is designed to be worn under body armour, to keep the wearer cool, dry and comfortable. I purchased a top to use as a base layer when wearing a rucksack. Most of the 5.11 Tactical Series undergear comes in what they call 'muscle mapping' style i.e. tight. As I don't really want a t-shirt 'mapping' my beer-belly, I went for the crew loose fit version, to leave a bit more to the imagination. # 5.11 claim these will keep you cool when it is hot and warm when it is cold - I have found this t-shirt to keep me warm when it is cold and roasting hot when it is warm! In warm or hot weather, I just have to take it off as it is too hot, but in cool/cold weather, it is a brilliant warm base layer. I often just use this top with another loose normal t-shirt over it instead of taking a coat. # 5.11 claim... Read review
