The Rapha Classic Jersey II is the second generation of Rapha’s first ever product and most iconic piece: the Classic Jersey. Cut from a new merino-based fabric, it is lighter, softer and more breathable than its older counterpart. It has also been reworked for a better fit and a reduction in bulk.
It is becoming an increasing necessity to protect yourself and your vehicle with hard evidence in the case of an accident. The flipside to this is that you don’t want a load of tech cluttering up your dashboard or distracting you from the road. The RAC 205 dash cam is a compact, forward facing, basic dash cam designed to give you security and reassurance whilst driving, day or night. The footage is stored on an included 8GB microSD card, which will automatically loop and re-record over old footage to continue filming.
The Everyday 20 Backpack is a 20L backpack designed for photographers and creative types on the move. Starting on the outside, the patented MagLatch has been designed to provide “lighting fast top access”. For me, I am not a fan of this catch at all. I wanted to like it because it looks great, but it is unnecessarily fiddly, especially when the bag is lightly packed. Not to worry - thankfully Peak Design have popped on two side-loading pockets with weatherproof side zips for quick access to your gear.
The Poco AG Premium, a child carrier from Osprey, aims to provide the most comfortable ride possible for adult and child alike. It is packed full of easy-to-use features to get the most out of your outdoors adventure.
High blood pressure can be deadly: if left unchecked and untreated over time, it could lead to a stroke, kidney damage, loss of vision and damage to the heart, amongst other things. One of the difficulties of high blood pressure is that most of the time, it is symptomless. The Omron Evolv is a portable personal blood pressure monitor that allows you to get an accurate reading without the use of tubes or wires. It has a compact design and comes with a handy carry case, making it super portable.
You never know what treasures might be hidden just out of sight underneath your feet. This exciting potential is what drives many people to take to the fields and beaches with metal detectors, to pin point exactly where your ancient artefact/bottle top is, and a Pointer is often used.
If you are into travelling, camping or general adventures, chances are you have had some bad experiences trying to get to sleep. Perhaps you were lying in a freezing cold sleeping bag, or had bugs landing on your skin when it was too hot to be in one, or you’ve cringed at the thought of climbing in between some questionable bedsheets in a budget hostel.
The Trango Tower from La Sportiva is a lightweight, Gore-Tex boot designed for mountain hiking, via ferrata and backpacking, even with heavy loads. As we have come to expect from this brand, these boots are beautifully designed. We were lucky enough to test out the women’s version in emerald, also available in light grey and berry (thankfully there is not a pink detail in sight). In the Men’s version these come in that classic La Sportiva red/yellow, black/yellow and ocean/sulphur.
It’s not much fun trying to get a sweat on with cables tangling you up or dancing around to your tunes whilst tethered to a device. The Harlem Wireless Headphones from KitSound are fully wireless, connecting via Bluetooth to free up your movement.
When Kelly Moore from Louisiana, USA couldn’t find a camera bag that was equal parts beauty and practicality, she did what any frustrated consumer would do and decided to create her own. Thus, the Kelly Moore Bag collection was born. The Pilot Backpack is named in honour of Kelly’s husband, so don’t be fooled into thinking it is some specially designed airline bag. That’s not to say you can’t take it on a plane, but you might prefer something with more padding or a hard shell.
