Thirty Two Prion

Advantages: The great fit of Intuition liners
Disadvantages: They're a wee bit ugly

...Ask a snowboarder whether they’ve got comfy boots and he or she will probably groan and whip off a sock to reveal some stunning blister scars. Yes, I’ve been to boot hell and back too but, finally, all that has changed. I’ve joined the smug minority who lace up their boots in the morning and never give them a second thought during a day on the mountain. And it’s all thanks to ThirtyTwo’s Griffons. I spent nearly three months in Whistler early this year and the Griffon seemed to be the boot footwear of choice there. Lots of the instructors and pros (both male and female) had them - usually a pretty good sign of a quality product. Griffons are a bit garish to look at - last season’s were blue, yellow and orange. But they’re tall, pretty stiff and very supportive. With Intuition liners which... Read review

That was the last time I participated in any kind of organised exercise or sport. Well, not quite. I had signed up to a Tai Chi course on a Saturday morning about 10 years ago but as it was early Saturday morning I quickly lost interested and didn’t bother to finish the course.

Disadvantages: Not sure enough space for whole family on a long camping trip

...Me and my boyfriend got this tent for our weeks camping trip in north wales. The tent was extremely well priced, i guess because time was taken to shop around for the best price. It was just over £80 which i thought was excellent for the product you get. The tent comes in a 3 -in-1 carry bag, with the two inner bits in one compartment, the outer tent in another compartment and the pegs, poles and repair kit in the little on in the middle. (I thought the fact that it came with a small repair kit was quite good!) When the tent is in it's carry bag it is easy to carry and not particularly heavy. Previous to our camping trip i got all the bits of the tent out and had a read of the assembly instructions. I just wanted to make sure i knew where all the poles went as the inner 4 person bedroom had to go first and i wanted... Read review
