The way to an adventurer's heart is through their stomach, so we review a range of Firepot Food to see if it would win friends at the end of some long days on the hill.
Lying under the stars is great, but lying under the stars after skipping up a hill with a featherweight pack is even better. We test if the new ultralight Alpkit Kloke bivvy bag still keeps the weather out.
Testing cooking pots is a thankless task requiring the endless consumption of tea and hot food out in the hills. We pushed the Sea to Summit X-Set 21 to its culinary limits.
There is no excuse for lying down on the job, but we actually did this time - testing the incredibly light and packable Thermarest Uberlite sleeping mat.
Losing weight and pack size on a sleeping bag can account for a chunk of your bikepacking bulk, but we test if the Thermarest Hyperion 32 sleeping bag can still keep us cosy when the mercury drops.
Kids bikes can be expensive so we tested the budget B'Twin 500 Robot to see if it could take our child from balance bike rider to fully fledged cyclist.
The trusted travel brand Craghoppers offers a classic travel staple in the Nosilife Adventure II Long Sleeved Shirt. We put it to the test in the jungle-covered mountains of Uganda.
We review the Craghoppers Nosilife Trousers on a trip to Uganda, to test their hot weather travel credentials
Does the Craghoppers 16l Kiwi Classic Roll Top backpack deliver on comfort and performance? Read our review to find out.
The lightweight Outspeed 360 3L jacket from Salomon promises top-class performance as well as a classic look and superior comfort. Read our review to see how it performed when we took it for a spin in the wilds of Lincolnshire.
Salomon have created a truly versatile outdoor shoe in the OUTline Prism, we put it to the test.
Salomon's Out Night borrows tech from running and stability from hiking to make an excellent fast and light multi-activity backpack.
We test out Manfrotto's brand new gimbal for videographers and vloggers, the MVG220.
Waterproof, lightweight, fits well and made from recycled materials. What more could you want? We test the Craghoppers Caldbeck waterproof jacket to see how it holds up in stormy British weather.
