Scarpa Trek GTX

The Hydrobloc proofing cream has been specifically formulated for full-grain leathers but will also be fine for nubuck leather also. This will improve the water resistance of the leather, which is essential for boots that do not have a gortex membrane, but also desirable for all leather products as it is important to keep leather in good condition to prevent drying out and cracking.

The Bridgedale Hike Midweight Comfort Sock is a comfortable midweight sock designed for all year backpacking, trekking and hiking. Designed to offer day-long protection and comfort, the Trekker sock provides thermal and moisture control thanks to the use of Merino Wool. Merino Wool provides excellent insulation and next to skin comfort.

The Hiker is a classic boot cut sock with comfortable cushioning found along the footbed, and all around the ankle. A lighter mesh over the top of the foot helps with breathability, and the high knit count adds to the durability. The merino wool mix keeps your feet warm when wet, and is odour resistant for longer trips.

Designed to be worn for comfort, additional warmth and long distant trail practicality these Liners with Coolmax® will help to keep your feet dry and protected. Worn next to the skin, these liners transport moisture quickly away from the skin out to the main sock where it can evaporate keeping feet dry and comfortable.

The voyager is a good all round pole at a great price. It misses out on some of the top end features of Leki's premium poles but still does the job! For general hill walking and rambling this is a good choice. It uses a comfortable soft grip but does not have a rounded top. The leashes are basic but adjustable and the locking mechanism is simpler than the Superlock Sytstem and can unlock by accident a little easier as it only locks when fully tight.

The Leki Micro Vario Carbon is a unisex pole with 4 carbon pole sections, quick Speedlock2 adjustment and aergon handle top. The main distinguishing feature is that this is a foldable pole which packs down to 40cm and that all the sections are carbon fibre in order to retain a lightweight offering.

The Kahtoola MICROspikes are ideal for walking, hiking and running on snow-packed paths and trails or working on steep mud and grass. This pocket-sized traction system attaches easily to running, approach and everyday shoes as well as boots.
