I recently purchased an issue multicam windproof smock and think it is one of the best bits of kit for walking around Dartmoor I’ve ever owned and it only cost £17. My issue is with what to do when it rains heavy. I have read about wearing an issue waterproof MVP smock underneath but struggle...

Hi, Looking at getting a wood burning stove put in and narrowed down to a choice between a Nordpeis Bergen and a Burley Hollywell. Both 5kW nominal but the Burley is a convection design. Has anyone got experience of either brand or of a convection design stove (box in a box) against the more...

I have someone begging to buy my Canon600D DSLR for a reasonable price. I am tempted, as I have been thinking of moving to either a full frame DSLR or embracing the compact style of camera. Anyone have any thoughts or experience of either and could comment on which option? The use would be...

Hi, I'm looking at the waterproof Arktis smock, I belive it is a B310, with a waterproof drop liner. I only seem to be able to find one for £220 plus. I'm not overly fussy about camo/plain but need a medium. Is there anything similar to this at a more reasonable cost or anywhere that...

Recently purchased a DLSR camera and I'm looking for a better way of carrying it so that I don't have to drop the rucksack off of my back and take the camera out every time I want to take a picture. Having it swinging around my neck is a pain and not that feasible if you're scrambling over...

Anyone tried these next generation SFU trousers. Have they addressed the slightly weird fit (wide leg tight waist)? Cheers.

Just got in from a 3 mile walk across the moors with the dog after trying out my new Berghaus Deluge waterproof trousers. My trousers underneath were wet. Bit disappointing from a reputable brand. Think they are going to go back. Can anyone recommend any decent waterproof trousers. Can...

Has anyone got any experience with either the Hoggs of Fife FieldPro Rangers Trousers or Sherwood Kingswood Trousers? Thinking about getting a pair for winter walking as I like the idea of not having to stop and put on separate waterproofs if it rains. Any other suggestions would be welcome...

Hi, I'm looking at getting a pair of the above, and after visiting the 2 premium dealers near me, neither of them had my size in the trousers. Before I order a pair, I was looking for some info on fit when compared to a Craghoppers Kiwi. I normally wear a 32" jean, but I can get into a 30"...

Hi, I have recently purchased my first DSLR camera, a Canon D600 nearly new off of someone who upgraded to a full frame Nikon. Some of the pictures on her have inspired me to try and take some decent photos rather than just getting out and about. I have been teaching myself to use the camera...

Also pair of Helikon SFU trousers in coyote, size small/regular. Only worn a couple of times, just don't like fit. Looking to swap for a pair of Craghoppers Kiwis in 32" regular in cedar/brown colour. Cheers

Looking to swap black paramo fuera windproof smock in black size medium. Only worn around house, in new condition with tags. Too lightweight for me. Should have bought a windproof fleece, so looking to swap for one ideally Ridgeline/Deerhunter or something similar.

Does anyone know a decent source of 100% cotton lumberjack type shirts on the web please (not poorly made tat). Ideally in a natural colour. The local shop to me that used to sell them has recently closed. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I was thinking of purchasing the MVP Mil Spec DPM Waterproof jacket from Endicotts. Has anyone got one of these jackets? Are they worth the £50+? Also looking at getting a windproof jacket and looking at one of the following: 1. Keela windproof 2. Arktis Stowaway 3. Montane...

How does the material on Helikon SFU trousers compare to Craghoppers Kiwis please. Ideally I want something a little thicker that I can tighten the bottoms in on that doesn't break the bank and was considering the SFU trousers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am looking to get a pair of boots for walking the dog around where I live, nothing too strenuous, a few fields, paths and pavements. I have tried numerous pairs of reasonably priced "branded" footwear, all of which are comfortable, but most are hardly water resistant, despite their...

Hello. I currently enjoy being out walking alone on the moors and in the woods, being at one with the natural world. I have joined to improve my knowledge of flora, fauna and traditional crafts.

Recently purchased an Arktis Smock and the drawstring toggles are poor. Does anyone know where I can get some decent replacement items please? There are places on the net but I don't want to buy more poor quality ones. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
