Products: Reviews Ruffwear – Quencher Dog Bowl
They say: Made from very rugged Cordura-like fabrics, the Quencher is waterproof-lined and will contain a whole meal or litre of water without any spillage. It sits squat on the floor and yet stable enough that water won’t splash out everywhere. GWA highlight: Weighing in at not an awful lot, the Quencher has a small loop so it can be attached to the outside of your daypack, or tied down when the weather is windy. And it also features a reflective banding around the lip so that you can reduce the probability of stepping in it when camping. GWA summary: The Ruffwear Quencher is an adaptable and rugged little dog bowl which is perfect for use on the trail, camping and anywhere where you’re not at home. It’s pretty much unbreakable and easy to clean and carry. What’s not to like?

Sub Zero – Lightweight Thermal Down Jacket
They say: The down-proof ripstop shell fabric is manufactured from an ultralight polyamide fabric that is extremely breathable, windproof and water repellent. Only the finest grade of European goose down and feathers are used in the down jackets production, with a fill of 125g making it one of the warmest jackets in its class. GWA highlight: I went for a walk this morning in a T-shirt and this jacket. The temperature is 7C and I was, at times, so warm in the jacket that I needed to take it off. It’s like a sleeping bag, trapping huge amounts of air inside its 3-4cm thick down chambers and closely- fitting the body to seal in all your body warmth. It doesn’t make sense that something so light could be so warm – the mind naturally equates weight with insulation – and yet it is. GWA summary: I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a jacket this warm and this light before. It’s had a lot of use over this winter both by myself and my wife and is now a firm favourite in our house. A brilliant piece of gear for cold days.

K-Swiss – Blade Max Trail Running Shoes
They say: Off road trail running shoe designed to provide cushioning and stability featuring ion-mask water resistance and seamfree technology for the perfect fit, whilst Blade-Light technology keeps your ride cushioned. GWA highlight: The mid-sole is soft enough to cushion against rough surfaces, and has a built in stone-guard to take the shock out of any sharp edges which you land on. It’s what I’d describe as a medium
thickness, so not totally disassociated from the ground, but certainly not barefoot. That’s the kind of shoe I prefer, so I was happy with only a little feedback from the trail. GWA summary: Very comfortable running shoes with a seamless upper and well-cushioned midsole. Lacks suitable toe protection for gnarlier trails, and whilst the sole is excellent at shedding mud, I found it to be quite slippery – especially sidewards. My running gait is quite splayed, but this still affects the rating.
Trekmates – Voltage Gore-Tex Knitted Beanie Hat
They say: :.Premium quality headwear from Trekmates uses only Gore-Tex materials when the maximum weather protection and breathability are required. GWA highlight: The middle layer is a Gore Tex membrane which will keep even the hardest rain from soaking your hair, but allow any sweat or previously wet heads to evaporate nicely.
GWA summary: A very warm, waterproof and simple hat. Great for cold, wet days when you need to avoid drowned-rat hair and losing all your body heat through your head.
