Outwell Adventure Tour 2010

£30.00

For general daypack duties the Outwell Adventure Tour offers good value. It feels perfectly stable when on, features a ventilated back system and is pretty light at around 1180g. It has a rain cover, is hydration pack-compatible and features a functional outer pocket. But the lack of articulation in the hip area means others are more comfortable and offer a ...

£15.00

The Eurohike Multi LED Headtorch weighs 78g; 2 x superbright white LED; 1 x superbright red LED; swivel head;  3xAAA batteries: one power setting for white bulb plus red beam.

Coleman Exponent F1 Lite

This stove weighs 77g (+ gas); boil time 2 min 20 sec to 4 min 12 sec; packs very small; 12cm diameter pan supports.

Nalgene Lexan bottle and Insulated Winter Bottle Carrier

£17.00

A classic drinks bottle that is incredibly tough while giving a clear view of contents. The bottle has a wide mouth for easy drinking and filling. The insulated holder allows the bottle to be slipped onto a rucksack belt. But the contents of the bottle cooled far quicker than even the lightest of conventional flasks. And you don’t get a ...

Tog 24 Baku

£35.00

The fabric is waterproof and breathable too, and the main zip gets a double stormflap to keep the rain out. Velcro adjustable cuffs and a hem drawcord keep the wind out, while small pit zips add ...

Wynnster Montana

£30.00

This waterproof is primarily a ski jacket, so it is very warm. The insulation is built into a waterproof shell, though, so it will keep your child dry too. You even get a zip-out snow skirt for keeping the powder at bay. Hem drawcords and Velcro cuff adjustment keep draughts out, while a stormflap on the main zip keeps water ...

Result Performance Waterproof 2000 Pro Coach

Sportjock Extra Zip

£35.00

This sports bra is good for comfortably controlling a large to extra large bust; racer back design halts shoulder strap slippage while the zip at the front allows easier dressing. But the fabric feels almost padded and the cotton look makes it definitely an undergarment rather than a crop-top.

£28.00

This racer back sports bra is good as a mastectomy sports bra, or regular support with pockets.  Wide, adjustable straps; front zip eases dressing and retaining the racer back and crop-top look. But check with your own backpack to make sure the metal strap adjusters don’t rub.
