Berghaus Suillivan III Jacket

An awesome jacket, one of the bext waterproof jackets I have used. I admit, I'm more a hill walker than a mountaineer and I beleive this is designed more for the mountaineer. But, I like the style, the cut and the feel of the jacket. I'm sure some of you hardcore outdoor people are syaing it doesn't matter..... but to me it does. As well as the functionality. Gore Tex XCR, 3 layer, a hood that fits my long neck and protects my large nose from the rain, basically thats all I ask in a heavyweight waterproof jacket. This is what I got. Comes in some great colours too.... though I went for black. I like the Milk Tray action man look.

Bridgedale Women's Endurance Trekker Walking Socks Review - by Fiona

I recently bought two pairs of Bridgedale Women's Endurance Trekker Walking Socks from you. I would like to thank you for recommending them as I recently went to the Lake District for the first time and they turned out to be the most comfortable socks I own. I have sent you a picture of them by the side of a tarn. They were warm and cosy on colder wet days and felt quite cool and comfortable on the hotter days. I didn't get any blisters, even after six days in my poor old walking boots. (which I really should have replaced before I went but couldn't afford it!) Thanks Gareth.
