Product: Salomon Exit 2 Aero
These are a hardwearing, breathable, lightweight, hiking
shoe. I bought them half a size larger
as I find that Salomon shoes are not overly generous in size. I wear them for
work and general walking around town and commuting, they have great breath-
ability and look good!
Perfect for the Summer, I would rate them as 9/10

Product: Littlelife Crosscountry Child Carrier
A lightweight and comfortable baby carrier, that can be used
for a child 6 months to 3 years in age.
It’s got a sun/shower canopy and has a pocket large enough for nappies
etc. I chose this for its comfort and
ability to adjust to fit different size back lengths, which means both me and
my partner can use it!
It’s great value…. 10/10!!

Product: Merrell Waterpro Manistee
Fantastic quality and surprisingly hardwearing for such a
lightweight shoe! Works brilliantly in
water, but equally good as an all round shoe, with a good non slip sole which
aids grip when wet. They are ideal for
everyday use, with their microbe shield, which is an antibacterial barrier
providing protection against odour and staining.
For it’s unrivalled breath-ability and comfort, I’d rate
these a 10/10

Product: Salomon X-Over
Great walking shoe with loads of support without
stiffness. They have a quick lace
system, which gives even tightness, across the shoe. I tend to wear half a size larger in Salomon shoes, and purchased
them for work and walking. They are a
soft feel shoe, but strong, which means they are comfy enough for all day
wearing.
Rate: 8/10

Product: Rohan Stravaig 28
Excellent, tough and highly water resistant, it has a
comfortable back system, outside pockets, with a useful key hanger inside and
is hydration system compatible.
This is an ideal bag for day use or commuting…. can fit a
laptop… it does it all!!
It really is ‘the business’. Comfortable and versatile – and will last for years!!
Definitely 10/10
Also available in 18 or 35L sizes.

Product: Deuter Speedlite 10
Another well made product from Deuter. Lots of features including, adjustable chest
strap, waist strap, side pockets, loops for gear and space for a hydration
pack. It’s just the right size for a
daypack, with room for a map, food and your hydration pack. Ideal for use when walking or cycling. It could use a little more padding on the
shoulder straps for comfort.
Rate: 8/10 – it’s a bit pricey!

Product: Timex Temp Compass Watch
This is a top quality watch from Timex. It’s perfect for
surfers, or those engaging in sea/tidal river water sports. It’s tough and robust which makes it ideal
for physical activity in the drink. The
compass is accurate and the temperature gauge seems to be spot on…. when off
the wrist and away from body heat! I do
a lot of water sports and find the tidal check invaluable. I love the functionality of this watch, but
I am not overly keen on the look of it… although this is of course personal
choice.
I rate this 7/10 – if it were more stylish it would be a
10!!
Similar products: Timex have a range of watches that come
with compasses, but this is the only model with the tidal/temperature sensors.
