Tiley Coolmax Travel Briefs
Tilley Coolmax Travel Briefs wick away moisture from the skin, are cooler to wear, odour resistant and dry fast.
Mike says...
" Our recent trip to Scotland proved these briefs to be a great piece of clothing. Underwear is generally over looked while on extended trips, with a lot of people wearing cotton. A lot of you who read this section know the disadvantages of cotton especially next to skin, add in poorly fitted underwear that could chafe, before you know it your trip becomes miserable. The Tilley briefs were exceptional in all aspects, wicking away moisture, easy to wash and dry. I highly recommend these briefs, but don’t get white. "

Tilley Coolmax Boxers
Fast-drying and sweat-defying, they will neither chafe nor bind. These Coolmax® Extreme boxers wick away perspiration better than cotton to keep you cooler and drier in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Mike says….
" Well, reading my comment on the Tilley Briefs on the recommended section i have nothing else to add except these days personally i have moved onto boxer shorts rather than briefs. Still great, comfy, easy to wash and dry."

Outdoor Research Helios Sun Hat
This broad sun hat has a 50+ UPF rating. The headband moves moisture away from your brow, while the brim offers an oasis of shade. The drawcord adjustment keeps it snug on long trails.
Mike says...
" With the hot late spring early summer we have had, the Helios has come into its own. Great while out in the open mountain and moor, even better when you soak it in a refreshing stream and place a full hat of cold water on your head. The Helios is very comfortable once you find your size, remember your head swells slightly under exertion and has a wide brim to shade the face and neck.
The draw cord is useful when the weather comes in and threatens to blow the hat into the next valley. My first bit of Outdoor Research is great. "

Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap
The versatile Sun Runner Cap has a removable, adjustable skirt that shelters you from harsh rays or can be removed when you need only ball-cap coverage.
Mike says...
" I have been using this cap throughout the summer this year and I'm mega impressed. Snug comfy fit with a large peak to keep your face and eyes shaded in the the mountains. On really hot days I add in the Sun Skirt for added protection to my ears and neck. I've also soaked the hat in a tarn or stream to cool down my head and neck in that hot sun when little shade is available. "

Outdoor Research Ninjaclava
With a sleek, Ninja-worthy design, this unique balaclava provides serious protection on cold alpine days. The smooth-faced fabric features a warm, cozy brushed interior, and the overlapping design covers everything but the eyes and can be easily peeled open when high-mountain exertion causes heat to build.
Mike says….
" Great balaclava for mountain winter use and winter camping. Packs small and weighs next to nothing but gives a lot of protection against icy winds."

Outdoor Research Phosphor Mitts
Made with a water-resistant and breathable two-layer GORE® WINDSTOPPER ® fabric, these mitts are filled with warm 600-fill power down.
Mike says...
" Well winter 2016 has hit nice and early this year and I was on the scout for some warm mitts. Over the Spring and Summer I have been using the Outdoor Research Longhouse Glove along with the Outdoor Research Revel Shell Mitt which is a great combination.
The Phosphor Mitts came on the radar and I have had several outings in the hills and they work really well with the other two gloves. Very warm, easy to take on and off, windproof and water resistant - all these are attributes I want from a mitt. "

Nikwax Tech Wash 300ml
Cleans effectively, reviving breathability and water repellency.
Mike says...
" Tech Wash is important to clean all waterproof breathable fabrics when they get dirty. I spend a lot of time outdoors and my outershell gets dirty very quickly. I advise washing garments twice a year ensuring all zips are done up. I place my clothing in a pillow case, tie a knot in it then wash it in the washing machine. "
