Perfect to quickly filter water and drink on the go. Not as durable as I hoped. The bottle split at the seam toward the top. Great idea, but has to be well taken care of to last. Not for all types of trips.

The ReVolt has a single digital switch on top that controls all of the light’s functions and provides access to the light’s white, red, strobe, and dimmer functions. At any time, you can also tap the side of the lamp, called the power tap, which is a short-cut to turn the mode you’re in up to full power. There’s also a digital lock, if you hold the top button down for 4 seconds, something that I think is essential to prevent accidental discharges when packed.

I’d buy this again if I had to. After my four long hike my tea was still too hot to drink and it has been totally leak proof! It’s just the right size and is very nice to drink out of as well. I still recommend this thermos over stainless because finding a good ceramic thermos is very hard to do.

Because ease of use, i think that trousers with full length zip would be the answer. I like it, it is, partly..... it is not easy to wrestle in a downpour and cold fingers with a fiddly zip. A bit like putting a nappy on a wriggling baby! However, once the trousers are on, they are great, they fit well, are lightweight and totally waterproof, hence giving 5 stars.

Honestly one of my favorite pieces of gear yet. I have used this travel pillow for many adventures; from sleeping on planes or spending long layovers in airport terminals, to sleeping outside in a hammock under the stars. Without a doubt convienient and comfortable. Highly recommend.

The Helinox Chair One is a lightweight, strong and remarkably compact portable chair that will lighten your load and provide a comfortable seat wherever you are. The beauty of the Helinox Chair One is its simplicity. Utilizing modern tent technology, the Chair One sets up quickly and is more robust than you’d expect.
We used the Chair One from everything from camping to watching kids’ soccer games to day hikes and it has quickly become a piece of travel furniture we take almost everywhere we go.

Stanley is a pioneer in vacuum insulated thermoses , so it’s no surprise that this practical travel mug doesn’t disappoint.
The Stanley Classic is designed to keep your coffee piping hot, but the duration depends on the size — 4.5 hours for 12-oz, 6 hours for 16-oz, and 9 hours for 20-oz. Your mileage may vary based on how frequently you’re sipping from it. We can’t fault it when it comes to keeping drinks cold either.

I got this backpack ahead of my trip to Europe. This backpack held up nicely and was just the right size to be considered as a carry-on even for a budget airline like Wow. The interior is nice and spacious and managed to hold multiple massive bottles of beer I picked up in Belgium along with all of my clothes/toiletries/etc. If you use the straps, it disperses the weight quite evenly throughout your body. I highly recommend this backpack if you're looking for a solid, durable travel bag.

Gregory is more than 1 kg lighter than Deuter which made for quite a difference. When you have the two packs next to each other, you can see right away where it comes from. Deuter is made of thick, durable fabric that will serve me for ages. Gregory’s walls are made of a much thinner and delicate-looking material.
I am not easy on my packs – I throw them on the ground, I sit on them, lean on, and so on. I don’t fuss too much, and I need them to survive such treatment.
The first test for the backpack was one weeks – I was able to pack three weeks worth of clothes, gear, and food into it! It got me through some 300 km and some crazy weather.

Overload system makes the Terraframe truly special: a load sling between the pack and the frame allows you to place heavy items closest to your back—perfect for an elk quarter.
It is the backpacking equivalent of the all-terrain vehicle. With 80 liters of space, multiple easy-access pockets, and rugged, tear-resistant fabric, it ranks way above the other multi-day packs I’ve tried.
