Advantages: comfortable, flexible and light Disadvantages: twists easily
...I have used the Corax for years now. it was my first harness and there has never been a need to replace it. a testament to its durability.
in terms of comfort the corax is well designed. cushioned on the inside of the waist and leg loops to allow the climber to sit back in the harness for longer periods of time than cheaper harness that lack the padding. this is a great advantage when climbing longer routes, after a few hours on the rock you can easily forget that you're wearing it. further more, the padding is very flexible so it does not hinder movement on the rock. if it couldn't get more comfortable, the padding is designed to be breathable, stop those sweat patches building up on those summer days on the crags! even better, despite the extra padding the weight is still low (510g).
the harness is completely adjustable. the front...

Advantages: Dry feet Disadvantages: None I have found yet
...We have all heard of the drought conditions that have been experienced in England recently. Unfortunately, although my part of the country is reputed to be "drier than Egypt", this isn't apparent in my garden.

During a trip to the garden centre I happened to notice some garden shoes - in fact, just like a Wellington shoe. I have to say this as I can think of no better way to describe them. They are made by a company called Willowdale Products and there is quite a selection to choose from ranging from the usual green...

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!...

I found this game pretty addictive the first time I played on it. I found the use of the nunchuck pretty hard to master at first, moving the control stick didn\'t always work properly. I overcame this pretty quickly but found the game to move pretty slow more
We have visited Toronto a couple of times and each time we have stayed at the Sheraton, it really is a fantastic hotel. Both times we have booked through Canadian affair, we have found them to be very effiecient and reasonably priced. They offer flights... more
