    Gorka 3 Russian Army Mountain Suit

    I thought I’d just write a quick review of the Gorka 3 Russian army mountain suit by Bars. These suits have become readily available on eBay and take about a week to arrive from Russia. Average price seems to be around £60, which is not bad for a pair of trousers and a jacket. They are made from...

    Sleeping bag advice

    I'm looking for a central zip seeping bag (yes that old chestnut) and I'd like some advice. I'll get straight to the point, I don't want to spend more than £150ish and it needs to be a proper 4 season bag. I have had both the british army Arctic bag and a Woodlore golden eagle in the past so I...

    How many jackets are too many ?

    After being berated for buying 'yet another jacket exactly the same as the others' (what does she know) I decided to count up all my jackets and work out their use to see if I really had that many. In total I counted 11 jackets (that's every type of jacket I own). 3 were strictly...

    Smocks. I know I know but...

    Overhead smocks, everybody loves them because they look cool. I love them too but, at the risk of committing an outrage, I'm i the only one who doesn't actually find them all that practical? For example? I have a old olive cadet smock, the overhead type, and I love it on an aesthetic level, but...
