Lowe Alpine Lightweight DryFlo Bra

£20.00

The most simple designs are often the best. The closed seam darts of this racer back sports bra, which cup the breasts, and a wide stretchy chest strap, provide comfortable shaped support for walking and more. The front is opaque and the design is definitely crop-top rather than bra, allowing it to be worn as a top, plus it has ...

Trekmates Dry Classic Glove 2012

£25.00

There are a lot of gloves around the £25 to £30 price range, but the Trekmates Dry Classic Glove has a slight edge over some of them.

TSL Naos 2010

£26.00

The TSL Naos differs from many similar headtorches in that its casing is made from aluminium.
