This review comes from someone who only begun snowboarding on the dry slopes last October, I received the Rome Garage Rocker in December and I have taken it for two open lessons on the dry and eight days on the snow in Valmorel France.  I have grown very attached to this board like when you get your first bike, it started off by spending more time in the air and me on the carpet and witnessed me learn to link my turns and start carving up the snow.  This has been a great all- rounder to both help me learn and it is quick and flexible enough to keep it fun

As I knew I would be reviewing Romes’ Garage Rocker board I thought It would be a good idea to review bindings from the same brand to get the best out of each product and give an optimum review.  The Rome 390 Boss Bindings are quoted as bullet proof and bomb proof but are they Alex proof now that is the real test, they are in for a few weeks of uncoordinated boarding at its very best!

Star Wars is back! That means for the foreseeable future we will be able to buy everything from pyjamas to toilet paper with BB8 plastered over it, good times. One of the more obvious merchandise areas is toys and that brings me on to the Revell Star Wars Build & Play Episode VII, specifically the Millennium Falcon. Aimed at ages 6 and up it comes with 19 separate parts that simply snap together, no glue or paint required, to create a 1:164 replica of the Millennium Falcon.

The Revell Control XS Nano Quad Micro Quadrocopter is the smallest and lightest quad we have tested out measuring less than 4.5 cm (1.75 inches) in length and weighing just 11.5 grams (0.4 ounces). It is designed for indoor use but like most micro quads can be used outside in dry conditions with no wind (it will get blown away) and has built-in bright LED lights to make it easy to spot, as it is so tiny you don’t need to fly it too high before it can become difficult to see, the lights help with this but in bright daylight it can still turn invisible so we

The Neutrino Endurance Jacket is a technical down jacket for modern mountaineering and light-weight ascents, designed for UK and alpine winter conditions which has been recently revised for autumn/winter 2015. RAB use high quality 800FP European Goose Down combined with Hydrophobic Down technology that greatly reduces water absorption and maintains loft so the Down doesn’t clump into horrible lumps like normal goose down when it gets wet, it also dries out really quickly.

This is a rigorously tested bag, that has been used at least 3 times a week during the 6 months we have had it, it has travelled around London, been hiking in North Wales and Norway and recently went skiing in France. Apart from being a little dirty it still looks as good a new, there is no wear on the bottom from being dumped on the ground due to the tough nylon material, the stitching is still perfect and the padding in the back and straps remains full and supportive.

Keith Musto, Olympic medal winner in sailing, founded his clothing company in 1964 and since then it has become the world’s leading offshore sailing brand - so when it comes to sailing apparel Musto know what they are doing and this jacket is a prime example. The MPX Offshore Jacket is designed to spend a considerable amount of time on the water and Musto are the only sailing apparel manufacturer with the license to use GORE-TEX - a brilliantly clever material that allows perspiration to escape whilst keeping water spray, rain or snow out.

The Musto Evolution Matthiessen BR1 Primaloft Jacket is a highly technical ski jacket produced by a British company that specialises in creating clothing that will first and foremost protect you from the harshest of all elements. Before we get to the technical side of things I have to admit our first response was how stylish this jacket is, we had it in Aruba Blue which is a lovely bold blue with red and black detailing and the asymmetric zip gives the design some edge as well as adding some comfort under the chin (there is nothing like the discomfort of a

Being a life-long veggie-phobe when I heard that there was potential on making broccoli taste like chocolate and sprouts takes like strawberries, I thought my prayers had been answered. At Molecule-R they have broken down the process of why we enjoy what we eat and drink to a scientific level and created a range of products to play with our senses and enhance the dining experience.

Etymotic have used their isolator technology to produce headphones that reduce outside noise and promote hearing safety, by blocking out background noise you don’t need to turn up your music to full to be able to hear it clearly.
