Golf is one of the most satisfying if not frustrating games that I have ever played. It takes dedication and time to master and it’s fair to say that most of us simply aren’t up to par. On paper the game appears simple- hit the ball into the hole, however in that simple instruction there are so many things that can go wrong. All golfers have thought long and hard about improvement and how to optimise their game. Personally, I am obsessional about my swing and constantly think about how I can better it.

A proper watch is a very personal and emotive purchase and there comes a time in everyone’s life when a cheap watch will no longer cut the mustard. By proper I mean a purchase that requires some thought on cost, design and feel rather than purely a practical buy.

I live in a house of disappearing coasters. I also live in a house filled with surfaces you mustn't drip or spill on for pain of death - not a great combination! So, when I tried out the CouchCoaster I was cautiously optimistic (though praying it didn't fail me and land me in trouble with the Other Half…)

OutDry Extreme is a first-of-its-kind material that uses a waterproof and breathable fabric technology constructed with a waterproof layer on the outside and soft, wicking fabric on the inside. It is this combination that makes the Titanium Jacket such an excellent waterproof.

There is a running joke within our group of friends that one of our mates couldn’t put a tent up even if his life depended on it. I kid you not, this year all he had to do was peg down the outer layer (someone else had already done the rest) and instead he opted for sleeping in his van all weekend, as the prospect of reaching for the mallet was just too much.

As the evenings draw in and we spend more and more of our waking hours in the dark, I found myself digging through the kitchen draw for my torch only to discover that the batteries I left in it last year had died.

Rubber boots, as they were commonly known back in my youth, have changed dramatically from the harsh single-skinned rubber welly to the comfortable and stylish footwear that can command prices of well over £300.

You will wear a pair of shoes hundreds of times during their lives, so it seems only fitting that those shoes reflect you. The Bogs Johnny 5-Eeye Waterproof Boot looks like an old-style work boot, but has all of the modern benefits.

The popular Shape Shifter from Think Tank has had an upgrade to version 2.0. The magic behind the Shape Shifter is in the fact it can be compressed down by 3 inches when the gear is removed making it a highly versatile travel companion. The Shape Shifter comes in two sizes (15 or 17) and can be carried by the handle or worn with the generously padded, contoured shoulder harness, with air channel (to avoid that sweat patch), sternum strap and removable waist belt.

For those into their wildlife photography (and even those who aren’t), you might recognise the name Moose Peterson as one of America’s best-known wildlife photographers. Peterson has been published in over 130 magazines worldwide, so it only seems fitting that the designers at MindShift (a Think Tank Company) collaborated with him to create the ultimate camera bag. Now, they have collaborated again to re-visit and improve the original model.
