Previous editions would normally show just a single route to bag your Munro, this edition has gone way beyond that single route description and really does step into a world that offers far more options for longer adventures, for us that is of huge value. We think the writers have really understood, and catered for a wider group of readers in this edition. We’d actually go as far as saying that this is almost a Scottish Mountain Adventure Guide and not just a hillwalking guidebook.
We’d worn this gear for longer than a human should and it really is true, ZERO pong, that we know of anyway!! We did finally wrestle it into the washing machine though. It’s came back out of the machine in perfect order and still looking as good as new.
Rab’s description of the Alpine bivvy is, “a minimalist, single-person waterproof bivi, designed for use on lightweight alpine expeditions and summit attempts. Made using a durable and breathable eVent® DVStorm 3L fabric, the Alpine Bivi will appeal to those who are looking for maximum performance and a slightly larger capacity balanced with a smaller pack size.”
We were recently sent a SPOT X 2-Way satellite messenger by SPOT to review. Heres what we thought.
We were recently sent a Spot Gen3 Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) by SPOT to review. Let me start by saying, we are so glad they did! A PLB has been an item of technology we have been looking at adding to our kit for quite some time but were never sure how to navigate the world of safety devices like these.
