Ultimate Direction Amelia Boone Vest Review
Are you constantly running cold then too hot in wintry, cold conditions? Yes me! I know I’m going to warm up very quickly and as they say ‘dress for the 2nd mile not the 1st’ but I hate being too cold as well. Enter the new UD Amelia Boone vest, it hits the spot. …
Osprey Duro 6 Review
Could you all please locate your C7 vertebrae and measure between that and your iliac crest? Done? Now you know which size Osprey Duro pack you’ll need. Simple. There is more information on how to locate these body parts on the Osprey website: it’s between the bony bump at the base of your neck and …
inov-8 TRAILFLY ULTRA G 280 Review
When starting a shoe review, I tend to try not to look at the manufacturer blurb early on, other than some basic information about what they’re designed for.

VJ Ultra Review
Formed in 1981, VJ is the outcome of decades of footwear craftsmanship, hailing from the small town of Orivesi in the dense forests of central Finland. You may know them as an obstacle racing shoe, promoted by Jonathon Albon but there’s more to the brand. Their shoes have helped many athletes in various all-terrain sports …

Rab traditionally have been designing clothes for climbing and mountaineering, and although many pieces were great for runners, this is the first time they are specifically designed for mountain running. What they say “Running in the mountains demands self- sufficiency, and …
Running America by Jamie McDonald
They say never judge a book by its cover and this is that book! The title is a bit of a misnomer and I implore you to read it to the very end. It’s a book of two stories; with the finishing accomplishment somewhat eclipsing the majority of the book. Jamie is a serial adventure travel …
GREAT SCOTT! RunUltra Review the Scott Supertrac 3.0
I must confess to being a huge fan of Scott shoes. These Supertrac 3.0 are the 5th pair of Scott trail shoes I’ve had, all have been supplied by Sportsshoes over the years and all have been various versions of the Kinabalu or the Supertrac. The Supertrac 3.0 are different in subtle ways to the …

artilect women’s goldhill 125 zoned merino crew
I have been a champion of merino for many years now. As someone who has suffered hypothermia in races, and is generally always on the chilly side, I learned the benefits of merino wool when I worked in an outdoor gear shop and haven’t look back since. Being a natural fabric, its ability to keep …
