Bikes are great, they are better for the environment, a good source of exercise as well as easier and cheaper to find a place to park than a car, the downside is they do not come with a boot to store all your shopping in. The Wayside Backpack and Pannier from Blackburn has been designed to be suitable for carrying your gear both on and off the bike, it isn’t the lightest of things at 929g when empty but chances are you aren’t going to be racing in the Tour de France with all your shopping in tow.

A very clever safety product that is well worth considering if you are a keen cycling enthusiast. Especially as the evenings become shorter and it becomes more risky to be on the roads for a cyclist. It offers super bright LED’s, great visiblity for both day and night. It also vibrates whilst indicating.

It is chargeable anywhere on the go with a double USB that charges both Indik8as at the same time.

This new Dakine backpack is one of the most compact, technical backpacks on the market with a sleek design. I have bought and tried other backpacks and this one suits me perfectly.

I am so impressed with this backpack from day one. It's the right size for an everyday pack.  There are some many features to this backpack, but one of the coolest is a camel pack holder and a hideaway spot for the mouthpiece, so nice!  It's so comfortable as the chest straps open big enough, so it doesn't restrict your breathing!! Some other things that impressed me as the size of the bag is bigger than some but doesn't feel it or heavy which is amazing.

Targus is a top name in computer bags for technicians. Personally, I feel they have not disappointed with this gaming backpack. The bag is generously sized and can accommodate a larger screen laptop for gaming. I bought it for my gaming laptop which has a screen size of 17.5” and it fits perfectly in the compartment. There is ample padding: both for protection of the equipment and for the comfort of the wearer.

These polarised aviator sunglasses from Maui JIm put a fetching spin on an old classic. Aviators have always been the best sunglasses style for me to wear, so I was thrilled to review these. The style is timeless, but that doesn’t mean these glasses are just more of the same. Maui Jim have made them with attention to detail; the arms of these glasses are very slim, yet being made of lightweight titanium, they don’t feel fragile.

Gtech, experts in home and garden tech, sent us the latest in their cordless trimmer range - the Cordless Hedge Trimmer HT3.0, and the matching Cordless Grass Trimmer GT3.0. It’s getting chilly out, so now isn’t the most fun time of year to be working on the garden, but what better time to test how convenient these really are?

Fat Shark is the undisputed leader in FPV goggles and headsets. Their top of the line HDO goggles are brilliant. It is a top-end box style FPV headset that has some excellent features. I feel Fat Shark has paid attention to detail and these goggles are extremely well done. The feel fat shark scout is well built but aren’t overly heavy. The Scout weighs 350 grams including the rechargeable battery.
