Put a sock in it!

Advantages: Shock Absorbers,Merino Wool, Breathabilty!
Disadvantages: None!

What do blokes get for Christmas? Socks you say? Not like these they don't! For around £12.99 you can pick up a pair of these in your local Outdoors store like Blacks, though, just in case you missed out! Im going to begin my review with a strange fact:- "the average pair of feet has over 200,000 skin pores". Which science boff discovered that! Thank god we don't have that many on our faces otherwise Oxy and Clearasil would be rolling in billions, ...
...Back to the product now though. These socks can really make the hard work of a long days work feel a little less hard, using a very technical multi-fabric design, specially made to keep your feet drier and hence help prevent you from getting blisters. To quote Bridgedales explanation of there system, "Bridgedale's MMS® technology helps to transport moisture away from the skin via transferring yarns, to an outer absorbent layer. The moisture is held ...

Review of Bridgedale Men's Ascent Sock

Map? Check. Compass? Check. Barking feet? No!!

Advantages: Extremely comfortable and hard wearing
Disadvantages: Take a while to dry when just hanging off the tent

...first time I ever saw Bridgedale hiking socks, I couldn't believe the price. It must be the same for many of the uninitiated, as that would explain how it is so easy to waste a smaller amount on something of far less quality. In the case of looking after your feet out on the hill, you definately get what you pay for, and this is the case with the slightly pricey Bridgedale socks. They are sized so that you can select something that won't wrinkle ...
...room. Personally, as a pixie footed person, used to buying 'one size fits all' which blatently doesn't, the fact that socks can actually fit, and that this adds to comfort, was a revelation to me. They are the sort of socks which really do feel great when you put them on. Now, don't get me wrong; I'm not saying you won't get blisters if you are spending all day on Scafell Pike, but the chances are much more likely if you wear rubbish socks. I just ...

Review of Bridgedale Women's Trek Sock

Dry as a dry thing

Advantages: keeps me dry and warm
Disadvantages: None

Regatta Packaway II Womens Waterproof Jacket When the summer holidays wer looming and it became clear that it would be wet, it was imperative that i finally bought myself some kind of light weight waterproof jacket. I don’t know a lot about these things but knew that I wanted something which would keep me reasonably dry and would fit nice and neatly in the boot of the car. In my experience, if I just throw a coat into the boot, it ends up filthy ...
...I could then lose!! WHAT DOES IT PROMISE? So, I have a new outdoor jacket, waht will it do for me? The jacket makes a number of promises: • Isolite 5000 fabric forms a barrier against water droplets, so I won’t be saturated • Permeable to water vapour and so lets perspiration escape • Windproof • Isotex coated polyamide which is a fully waterproof and breathable fabric which is heat taped. So, there we have it, a coat which should allow me ...

There is no lining in this hat When my hat gets dirty falls in the mud maybe I will be able to wash it in the washing machine. I think this hat great it will keep me cozy for a year or two as long as I don’t get sparks on it from a bonfire as I did my last fleece ...

Review of Berghaus Spectrum Hat

All in all a good buy.

Advantages: Lightweight and comfortable
Disadvantages: Inclusive belt isn't the best

If you're looking for some lightweight, comfortable walking trousers but don't want to break the bank then these are a pretty good purchase. With an average retail price of £30 - £35 they are a good few quid cheaper than some of the more fashionable brands but retain the quality of an established company. With more pockets than you would have stuff to put in them these trousers are an excellent choice for the outdoor enthusiast and achieve a successful ...
...you to the Arctic they are warm, comfortable, light and quick drying. These trousers also look pretty' good. Whilst arguably pretty low down on your list of priorities when you're up a mountain, they're actually casual enough that you wouldn't look foolish or too out of place in the pub on your way home. The belt that they come with seems a little suspect and I would probably advise replacing with a more substantial one as far as negatives go I ...
