    Windproof Smock - Wet weather options

    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...

    Compact Camera

    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...

    Arktis B310 Jacket or Similar

    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...

    Carrying DLSR Quick Access

    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...

    Berghaus Deluge Fail

    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...

    Hoggs Ranger Trousers

    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...

    5.11 Taclite Pros Sizing

    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"...

    Tripod choice and carry options

    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...

    Paramo Fuera

    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.

    Army Surplus Para/Assault Boots

    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...
