I have a black fleece hat to keep my head and ears warm in this winter weather. It is a Power stretch Berghaus hat. I bought it from Millets . pm line you can buy ot for £10.79 from http://www.outdoorkit.co.uk
I wore this hat in the winter on the school playground it was great kept my head and ears warm. I shall wear this hat when I go for walks in the hills when it is cold; It will help keep me cozy.

The Berghaus Cyclops Vulcan is one of the largest rucksacks that you can buy, storing up to 100 litres and weighing 3kg, it is thus not suitable for a day hike. However, if you are reading this review, it is likely you are looking for a beasty rucksack, if so, then it's your lucky day.

The Vulcan uses Berghaus' tried and tested Cyclops II back support system. While lacking Berghaus' 'bio flex' back system (allowing greatly flexibility), the Vulcan's support is decent, offering good back and shoulder support. This ...
