Back when I used to go backpacking around the world, I did around 8-12 hours per day of hiking, so it’s bizarre to think I didn’t really enjoy it back then, I just felt like I had to tick off life experiences and a lot around South American and wherever I went involved trekking. As…
Where did the sun go? If you’re like me and searching through the wardrobe to bring out your warmer clothing then maybe it’s time to invest in a new jacket, one that you can be proud of and can keep you nice and cosy. Is there a brand nicer than Helly Hansen for winter and…
I got married recently and one of the most frustrating parts was finding the right suit. The one I got eventually was far from my initial plan; therefore I wanted to share my experiences, tips and advice for anyone about to go through a similar process. Tailor Made Vs Off The Shelf So let’s quickly…
If there is one thing you can say about Helly Hansen, it’s that they make incredibly sturdy clothing. The shoes never seem to break, the zips on their tops never fail and the buttons never seem to come off. The quality is always so high, it means you can spend a bit extra, but they’ll…
After a long cold winter, the sun has finally popped out and I’m so excited to embrace the summer time. A nice drink in a beer garden will be great, but I have to earn that pint (or 2) and that means a hefty hike first. I’ve therefore stocked up on some great new hiking…
Let me say straight off the bat, I absolutely love this jacket. It looked great on the website and even better when it turned up. You’re never sure how it compares to the carefully airbrushed and setup photoshot they demonstrate on a website versus once you actually put it on, but I’ll go as far…
When it comes to rugged, reliable style, Wrangler has been a go-to for decades and for good reason. With a history rooted in functionality and innovation dating back to 1947, this American classic clothing company has been worn by cowboys, rodeo riders and anyone looking for q1uality and timeless design. I loved my time in…
I’m delighted to say I got the opportunity to try out a number of amazing items by this incredible American company, launched by Henry David Lee back in 1889. They have a number of great items in their range, while I got to try a hoodie, sweatshirt, jeans and a couple of chino’s, so keep…
Our mums often do the work without credit, without the gratitude they deserve. Looking back, I realise now how much my mum did for us. Three kids, from divorced parents as she balanced being a single parent with working full time, it couldn’t have been easy! So if your mum equally deserves an amazing treat…
You sometimes have to pick between durability and function versus style and appearance, especially if I’m off hiking, wading through mud or facing intense weather conditions. But these winter boots really have managed to cover both sides and for that, they have my heart! I really do love the way they look, plus the way…
For some, Valentine’s might be a corporate excuse to sell items to the public, but the concept behind it is so incredibly sweet. We don’t say ‘I love you’ enough on a daily basis to the important people in our lives. While we’re constantly rushing around and trying to keep up with everything, this is…
I feel like I was only just relaxing on a beach in Italy, sipping on a Spritz in the summer sun, now I’m somehow writing a Christmas gift guide, how time goes so quickly. So if you’ve been scratching your head about what to buy someone recently, then I’m listing some great ideas below for…
