The Vango Storm Shelter 200 is a two person emergency bothy, an essential piece of kit for anyone taking part in mountain activities. An emergency shelter provides a quick and reliable shelter in emergency situations or if the weather takes a turn for the worse. When in use, the Storm Shelter creates a warm microclimate in which you can take cover until help arrives or until the worst of the storm passes. It comes in a bright orange reflective design so you will be easy to spot on the hillside should you need to be found by rescue teams.

The Terra Nova Bothy (8 person) is a lightweight shelter made from water-resistant and windproof ripstop nylon. It's incredibly useful in emergency situations or just for use as a shelter when your group needs a rest. When in use the bothy creates a microclimate from the body heat of its users and the nylon outer provides protection from biting winds and/or rain. Whether you’re a mountain leader, casual weekend hiker or starting out as an outdoor adventurer, there should always be a Bothy Bag in your rucksack.

The Life Systems First Aid Case Empty is simple an empty first aid case which can be used to create a fully customised kit to meet your specific requirements.

The Life Systems Pocket First Aid Kit is stuffed full of items you should be carrying for walking trips and family days out. The zipped bag will stash away easily or can alternatively be worn on your belt or rucksack harness using the back loop attachment point. It comes fully equipped to be able to treat most minor injuries.

Meindl SportWax has been specifically designed for use with nubuck leather. It will help to condition and keep the leather supple, in turn preventing it from cracking or drying. The leather will lose the brushed nubuck effect and darken, but treatment will improve water-resistance. Water-resistance will be further improved with the use of Wet Proof, particularly in soft leather areas, e.g. the tongue gusset on the Meindl Borneo.

The Silva 4 Militaire is practically the same as the Expedition 4, but graduated in miles rather than degrees as favoured by the armed forces. It features a full-sized base plate, magnifier and rubber feet for precision map work. Specifically designed for use by the British military, the base plate features 1:25k, 1:50k and 1:40k roamer scales, as well as centimetre and inch rulers. The needle and cardinal points feature a luminous compound which is activated by daylight and will maintain brightness for up to 4 hours in darkness. The Militaire 4 is a classic compass used by NATO forces around the world.
