Why does a Black-headed Gull have a brown head...
Zamberlan goretex boots - extremely comfortable, waterproof & the lacing eyes don't shred the laces.
Tresspass thermal undies from Outdoormania - excellent.
Stormlite baselayers from Field & trek - excellent.
Brasher tracklite boot from M&Mdirect - only £19 - brilliant arch support & plenty of toe room - might buy several more pairs.
Handwarmer from Field&trek
Berghaus boulder jacket from M&Mdirect - very dissapointed - if I'd paid £200 for it I'd be camped on the doorstep asking for a refund - it's waterproof & windproof but the stormflap & neckflap velcros are so small they have to be perfectly aligned to grip - try that in a gale with gloves on - very poor, however at M&M's discount price of £70 not too bad.
Craghopper Kiwi trousers from Field&trek - very nice - comfy fit - tons of pockets - wind & water resistant - come in two flavours, one is regular trouser - other is zip off leg to convert to summer shorts.
Gaiters - you really need gaiters from here
Hat - best type I've tried - this one
I'm rather fond of Field&trek at the moment as besides being cheap every time you make a purchase you get a 15% off voucher - they are not quick on delivery but reliably deliver one week later.
