Keeping dry

Advantages: Keeps you dry on rides
Disadvantages: Quite thin

...as the tube describes, as emergency rainwear- never get caught out in the rain again. I somehow can't see me wearing this or carrying it around with me "just in case" but at the time I needed it, it was excellent. The Viking ride was indeed a very wet one but I managed to come out of it relatively unscathed. Also, by putting my bag on my knee, under the poncho, things like my camera and phone were not damaged. One down side is the fact that because ...
...fact, two days of me dragging it in and out of my bag has rendered it almost useless. However, it was £2 well spent, and for anyone faced with desperate times, I would advise one of these. This factor was made clear when I noticed that the drying machines cost £2 a time, so these are indeed excellent value, but not something I would recommend for daily wear. Thanks for reading.

Advantages: Reduce friction, wick sweat away 1000 mile guarantee
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to find a stockist except via the internet

...there primarily Im interested in the Martial arts and boxing but as a by product Ive always run/jogged to gain and maintain fitness. Normally Id been just wearing your run of the Mill cotton style socks when running however they end up drench in sweat and as a consequence they start to rub which of course leads to blisters and other problems. The 1000 mile sock bypass this problem as they have an inner and outer layer which move seperately of each ...

Review of The 1000 Mile Sock

The perfect 3 season Jacket

Advantages: Warm, waterproof, style, fit, price
Disadvantages: Zip is on wrong side for a Men's jacket

The North Face Evolution Triclimate jacket is the perfect all round jacket, suited to the Spring, Summer and Autumn months. The jacket is a 3 in 1 jacket, made up of an inner removable fleece jacket and an outer waterproof jacket. These can be worn as one or seperately. Style and Comfort The jacket is quite stylish and looks at home on both the mountainside and in the highstreet. The North Face is a brand which still maintains a degree of ...
...too many snooty looks from the hardcore outdoors people. The jacket fits very well to most body shapes and sizes. Being a slim person, I was suprised at how well the Medium size fitted. It is not too baggy or loose and although there is some play in the amount of fabric it is not something which feels or looks annoying. Waist and Wrist draw cords can be pulled to tighten the jacket around you for a better fit in windy conditions to keep out drafts. ...

Keeps feet dry when Jumping in a puddle

Advantages: comfort
Disadvantages: price

...These were a pair of Town and country childrens wellies. They cost me the princely sum of £3.00 now I usually pay less for their charity shop wellies, but these town and country ones are a very good pair. New the RRP is £12.99. The boots I bought were red but Town and country childrens wellies also come in blue or pink as well. Now these wellies come in a matching coloured nylon waterproof bag with cord draw strings. This is ideal for carrying , ...
...to keep the car boot clean. These boots available in size-3(31-36) The Wellington boots are made of natural rubber. I shall begin at the sole of the boot. The soles have a strong tread pattern to make good grip on the soil.

Grandson says "yes nana they are comfortable". ...

Review of Town and Country Childrens Wellies

Against all elements...

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...is designed to allow a Berghaus fleece to be zipped inside creating a layering effect for extra warmth, hence the I.A initials standing for InterActive system, clever eh? The outer jacket can of course be worn alone in warmer weather and the fleece zipped inside for the winter months, making this jacket a great all year round affair. The outer jacket comes in several colours including eclipse, plum and black. Each has a contrasting inner. I chose ...
...washable using a non-biological detergent. Berghaus do not recommend you re-proof your jacket unless it is no longer waterproof. The Gore- Tex should last for many years. Berghaus say that there is a no time limit guarantee for this jacket against any manufacturing defects; this obviously doesn’t include normal wear and tear. The Glissade comes in sizes 8 to 20. The fleece. ********* Obviously you don’t have to purchase a fleece to wear with ...
