Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Thanks Adz, I have seen some on eBay, but I didn't want to buy rubbish. The fleece is made by Aigle, which I thought was a good make, but the cord locks are poor. I guess for the price I will take a chance.
Cheers.

Hello all,
I quite like the look of the Stoney Creek Altitude jacket, with Primaloft insulation. I have had a rather garish jacket from Montane in the past with Primaloft insulation, and it was very good. I am looking to get either one of the Stoney Creek jackets or something from the...
Hello all,
I am looking to get a surplus goretex jacket as a lighter weight waterproof jacket now we are into warmer weather. I have had a bad experience with a used ECWCS jacket I purchased which leaked after 10 minutes in light rain. At £75 for what I was lead to believe was the "Rolls...
I am looking to replace my old 35 litre rucksack with a larger one possibly a Forces one.
2questions:
1. What size should I be looking at for typical 10 mile per day hikes with an overnight stay?
2. Are Forces rucksacks any good or should I be looking elsewhere for sacks of the same...
Was out on Dartmoor on Saturday and when my lad and I left the house it was freezing. By the time we had got to Fur Tor, the weather was roasting. I was wearing an Arktis Smock with base layer and 100 weight fleece. My day sack was full with no room for the smock. On the way back over real bad...
I have a pair of Lowa Combat GTX from RVOps.

Good price for a fantastic boot. Straight out of the box, did a day's beating and they were like wearing slippers. No blisters or discomfort. I would recommend these boots.
Details of the jacket I am thinking of getting:

Thanks.
I've had two pairs of Meindl footwear. Respond GTX shoes and Revolite boots. I feel as though the soles on the shoes have worn very quickly compared to an old pair of adidas trainers i had, and both were worn over the same time period/distance. The meindls are very comfortable, superbly made...
Thanks for the replies. Not too sure though on whether to go for one. Like the look of the jackets on Solo International website. It is important that the jacket is waterproof as Dartmoor is fairly exposed and when it rains it rains. Will check out the Buffalo options. Thanks.
Thinking about getting an Arktis Smock. Expensive though. Anyone got any comments on it as a good outdoors jacket for moors/ woodland use. Is there anything similar that members would recommend please?
Thanks.
Thanks chaps. I didn't think of a waxed jacket, but will have a look and see. Was thinking more of a Hunting jacket or military jacket but waxed jacket sounds good.
I have a Montane soft shell that I paid just under a ton for and a Regatta that I got in a discount store for £15. In my opinion, there's nothing to choose between the two apart from a Napoleon pocket on the Montane and I spend more time in the Regatta. Maybe because if I ruin it, it doesn't...
Sorry if there have been loads of questions about this. I live near Dartmoor and spend a lot of time out and about on the moors and in the local woods and my old Berghaus jacket is tired and needs replacing.
I'm looking for something that will keep me dry in extreme conditions on open...
