The gear reviews that will appear here will be for those that have donated equipment towards the The Snow Leopard Award Expedition and preparation. Starting in May, all reviews will include video and stills plus a features and benefits matrix.
The Vango review was requested by OutdoorMegastore who have very generously donated the tent.
Reviews
All reviews will be ongoing and are hopefully useable and useable. OK lets get going. We have some reviews coming up in the next few weeks so please call back to see review and new format.
It’s been a pleasure to review this piece of kit, its kinda like Batmans utility belt. It’s both useful and useable which makes it one of those items of equipment you will use so often that you will wonder what and how you managed before. As I didn’t manage to break, lose or do anything worse. It’s a front pack that works, well done Ribz for putting together the Ribz FrontPack!!
You may think it’s a strange one, but having a reliable phone when your out is pretty much an accepted norm these days.
My choice is the new Nokia Lumia 820, and I can say after just two week’s, it’s replaced my IPhone 5. I can hear the comments already. Lets get on with the review.

Yet again Nokia have shown their pedigree by choosing a partner that is a perfect fit for its Lumia range of phone’s.

Having been a fan of Vango tents for at least 35 years, that started with the mk4. Which was home to two 16 year old’s for a few weeks whilst completing the Pennine Way during their summer holiday. The following year we embarked on our first Alpine adventure, which is another story.

I have to say this jacket has proved to be a most capable jacket that punches far above its weight(no pun intended). As its described as a lightweight multipurpose activity jacket, made from microlight Pertex.
