    Anyone got this rucksack and can provide any facts about how this pack fits your torso length? With it being a "one size" pack I'm hesitant to buy it online without trying it out for fit!

    UnderArmour boxers; any cheaper alternative?

    After buying two pairs of underarmour boxerjocks I realised just what I've been missing out on all my life of wearing Asda's cotton boxer pants... they really do keep you dry, cool, and don't ride up your legs. Does anyone know a cheaper alternative as £13 is steep for one pair of boxers!

    Hi all, just checked out the Sawyer website and can't quite believe how good their lightweight personal water filter bottle is compared to all the others on the market, and is only £20-25 more.
