15th Nov 2005 Down Jacket: Rab Neutrino Women's
Somehow I have managed to get to the age of 27 without owning any down clothing since getting my Quantum vest I find it hard to believe! The vest packs up very small into its own stuff sack...
11th Nov 2005 Camera Bag: Lowe Pro D-Res 10AW
A digital camera is hardly the most robust of inventions, and that flimsy pouch that came with it won't protect from dust, knocks and moisture. If you're taking photos outdoors, your hi-tech...
7th Nov 2005 Sandals: Chaco Z2 Sandals ? Terrano Sole
I took these sandals with me, brand new, to Wadi Rum. For the whole of the first day I seemed to be flailing around in them and vowed never to wear them on anything other than a flat surface...
7th Nov 2005 Down Jacket: TNF Nuptse
Made of Z-Ripstop nylon and 700 fill power down it is very lightweight and compressible. A quick explanation of terms here: One ounce of this down expands to fill a volume of 700 cubic inches. It...

The North Face Free Thinker Jacket The Free Thinker Jacket is pitched by The North Face as their premier backcountry ski and snowboard jacket. It certainly looks the business but it does it...
10th Nov 2005 Bra: TNF Seamless Sports Bra
This is a great bra for most activities, including running - but that always depends on your size and how much support you need. For me it was fine, but I'm sure that more supportive bras exist. I...

16th Nov 2005 Hydration Rucksack: Dogfish 6
Three years ago I went to Greenland on a climbing expedition. We were new routing on big walls. On the first day we started out at around 7.30am as soon as it got light, and topped out 13 pitches...
22nd Nov 2005 Thermal: NF Seamless Long-Sleeve Crew Neck
Thermal base layers, when they fit properly, are fantastic. It seems that no matter how cold it is, pulling on a decent thermal gives instant warmth. The close weave, stretch fit material (95%...
23rd Nov 2005 Ski Trousers: TNF Freedom Insulated Pant
For years I had quite possibly the most horrible purple and green all-in-one ski suit that has ever graced the planet. It would live in the cupboard and come out from time to time when we went...
30th Nov 2005 RucksackL TNF Off Chute 18
OK, for an 18 litre day pack the Off Chute weighs in at a pretty hefty 1360g and is a bit of a heavyweight for its size. That said, one needs to remember that it is designed with skiing in mind,...
