Advantages: Cheap Thermarest Mat, Very Comfortable Disadvantages: Size
...be used in any situation for an affordable price. I paid about £50 online for this from snow and rock. Now i am able to have an excellent nights sleep without worrying about carrying something too big the next day.
"The Explorer is the perfect mattress for beginning backpackers and those on a budget. With a foam core 1.5 inches thick, it provides the ideal combination of comfort and minimal weight. Available in full-length and 3/4 sizes."
The mat uses the open cell foam such as the classic thermarest mats so your basically getting a normal thermarest mat for £30 cheaper, although the Explorer is slightly bigger.
Like with all thermarest mats the explorer has a self inflating valve, making the mat easy to inflate and deflate and also giving it the ability to be rolled up really small into the provided stuff sac.

Advantages: Very Light, Very Comfortable Disadvantages: Hard to get back in its stuff sac
...This was my second thermarest pad that i purchased after amazing usage of the first one.
It is increadly light and very very small meaning that it can be packed inside your rucksack along with your sleeping bag, not lashed to the outside of your pack.
The pad is very very durable and is not very prone to holes and if i ever do get one i have the free repair kit included in the stuff sac.
The pad is exceptionally comfortable and provides an excellent nights sleep for anyone who finds those annyoying foam things a nightmare.
The pad is a little pricey at £65 but i call it an investment as it provides so many more hours of rest that the closed cell mats.
Once youve gone thermarest, you never go back....

I wasn't keen on buying a semi-dry to take abroad with me as I feel they can be cumbersome. I usually wear a 5mm Gul Steamer but felt I needed some extra insulation.
The cyberskin is 0.5mm thick and extremely light. The material is silky and flexible and feels extremely comfortable. It comes in women's and men's sizes from small through to XXL and is £65. Although it is only 0.5mm thick it is equal in warmth to a 2mm wetsuit and can be used alone for diving in warmer waters. I bought an all in one with a back zipper but it is possible to purchase it as a separate top and bottoms. I had thought that it might be difficult to get my 5mm wetsuit over the top of it but in actual fact it made...

If you have young children, you most likely know who Dora the Explorer is and all about her talking backpack. This game is on a DVD format, so your child will need a DVD drive on the computer they play it on. This means, if like us, you tarted up a... more
I found that Urban Decay's Big Fatty Mascara was just a big fat waste of money. I went into Boots intent on buying a new mascara, and ended up purchasing this product for £13. I had used Urban Decay eyeliners before, and was very pleased at the result... more
Just lately, with two small children at home, we haven't been getting out much (ahhh!) so have been doing much more entertaining at home. We often find, when having friends round for the evening, that it's good fun to finish up with a game, which is why... more
