Keen Oregon 3 Season Boots
Craghoppers Kiwi Zip Off Walking Pants
3 Season Boot on long term test at Trail Testers for the last 12 months and have to say that we are pretty impressed. I have difficult feet when it comes to boots. I broke my right foot quite badly a few years ago and this now requires a specially made medical insole. Both my feet have high insteps and are quite broad and if that wasn’t bad enough I suffer with in-growing big toe nails, making some boots quite a challenge to fit comfortably! In this respect the Keen Oregon PCT was a breath of fresh air..........Read More
We have had the Kiwi Nosquito Convertibles on long term test and here is our report on these excellent trousers.
Since these arrived we have not had a lot of hot weather to wear them as shorts, but the trousers themselves are by far some of the best walking trousers that I have tested.
Full review next month.
Stockli Food Dehydrator
There are a number of dehydrated and freeze dried meals available in outdoors shops, but what about making your own?
If you eat organic food, or suffer from food allergies as many folk do these days there is very little available in the ready meal department and out on the hill you will just have to eat what everyone else eats, or will you? How about making your own meals at home and turning them into dried food ready for the hill, using a dehydrator?

The ROC25 from Haglofs is a nifty well designed day sack for climbing and skiing.
When Dawn went to Norway she took the ROC25 along with her and was pretty impressed with this little sack.
Full review next month.
The Grid 2P from Marmot is a lightweight two person semi-geodisic backpacking tent.
We take this tent into the Welsh Mountains for a two day test to see why it has become Marmot’s best selling tent in Europe.
See our video report next month.
The Vioz 996 GT from Zamberlan is a modern version of the classic Italian walking boot.
It looks rather retro in appearance, but its plain black shell with just a subtle hint of colour means this boot will fit in with almost any colours you might be wearing.
We have had this boot on long term test and next month will bring you our full report.
