Lifeventure Thermal Tumbler

I was away this weekend training cadets. I took my thermal mug with me. How welcome was that hot drink of tea after I had pulled the mug out of my webbing after demonstrating the leopard crawl in cold wet grass to the cadets? 

I'll tell you it was warm wet and well worth the purchase of the mug, It was still warm mid afternoon when I finished it off too.

Andy Isherwood's Under Armour Duty pants Review.

For this review I wanted to make sure I really put this product through its paces, so after around 6 months of solid use I’m ready to share it with you.

These trousers are made from an ultra durable rip-stop fabric which features Under Armour’s UA Storm Technology.

They have a great pocket arrangement, from dual cargo pockets to a dedicated knife/torch pocket, and they also have some fantastic hidden document pockets.
The reinforced knees and crotch make these trousers super durable, as well as them being a loose fit for a great range of movement.

Now originally I was not a big fan of Under Armour products, mainly because I had not used them before and thought of them as mainly a sporting brand. I can safely say that view is long since gone and I am more than impressed. These trousers have seen a lot of use and are equally suited to everyday use as they are to being out on the hills. I have used these on countless nights with Search and Rescue, as well as many days up in the hills. These trousers have seen a lot of use and are equally suited to everyday use as they are to being out on the hills.

The UA Storm Technology has been the best DWR finish I have seen on a product. The loose fit not only allows a great range of movement but means they are very comfy. The dual cargo pockets are a good size allowing easy carriage of maps and trauma kits, whilst the hidden pockets allow safe carriage of more sensitive items.

Truth be told, these trousers have had more heavy use than any of my others that I regularly wear.
They have washed great and have no colour fade and all the stitching is still in good condition.

All in all, this is a great product that comes in at a good price, making them affordable for almost everyone.

I can most certainly recommend this product to anyone who wants a good outdoor trouser or for more tactical use. These have proven very popular with the Search & Rescue team and anything that gets their vote is worth its’ weight in gold.

I would like to thank those at Top of the Range for not only being patient with this review but also providing me with a fantastic product.

Under Armour Charged Cotton T-Shirt

14 days on Annual Camp working 15 and more hours per day. Washing machines not working. 2 out of the 6 t-shirts I took were Under Armour Charged Cotton T-Shirts. Unpacking when I got back they were still fresh as the day they came out of the packet unlike the others which needed catching before they walked out of the door, couldn't recommend them any higher, they're on my shopping list for future camps.

Sea to Summit Long handled Spoon

Not long back from the ACF Annual Camp. I took one of these along on a whim, and I must say how useful they are. Fits nicely in the combat smock top pocket and comfortably reaches right to the bottom of the ration pack sachet. It's now my official 'racing spoon', can't see it ever wearing out either.

Amazon Review

A lifesaver!
By Buyer on August 2, 2013
Color Name: ClearSize Name: 3"x6"(3 Pack)

Before going to Six Flags, I put my iPhone 5, small wallet, and keys in one of these in case of disaster. Disaster happened, and the loksak floated through an entire boat ride (in the dark). Stayed afloat although it got trapped in a dark corner and it took 15 minutes to retrieve. Everything inside was perfectly dry!!! This was after using the loksak all summer at the pool. The loksak printing on the bag has smudged up, but it still worked great. It saved the day and I couldn't be happier!

SiS REGO Rapid Recovery 500g
High carbohydrate and protein recovery formula to aid rapid recovery after exercise:

• Helps replenish your energy stores fast
• Protein promotes the rebuild of muscle tissue
• Soy protein ideal for lactose intolerant individuals

About SiS REGO Rapid Recovery

SiS REGO Rapid Recovery contains a blend of easily digestible carbohydrates, protein, electrolytes and vitamins and minerals to provide a complete recovery product to be consumed immediately after exercise.  Recovery is often one of the most overlooked aspects of endurance nutrition and in this regard, SiS REGO Rapid Recovery will ensure your recovery is not compromised.

Why should I take SiS REGO Rapid Recovery?

The stress of hard repetitive training can lead to depletion of carbohydrate energy stores and dehydration. If recovery of muscle glycogen stores and rehydration is not commenced immediately after exercise, the recovery process is delayed and performance during your next training session can be significantly reduced. In addition to recovery of performance, the initial hours after completion of exercise should also be utilized to promote training adaptation. The process of training adaptation is facilitated by increased muscle protein synthesis whereby new proteins (such as enzymes involved in energy production and proteins which give muscle structure) are made in our muscles during the hours and days after each training session. As such, the muscle becomes reconditioned so that it can better withstand the physical demands that are placed upon it during the next training session. For optimal protein synthesis to occur, it is crucial that we consume high quality protein given that protein contains the building blocks (known as amino acids) to make new proteins. For this reason, SiS REGO Rapid Recovery also contains high quality protein in the form of soy protein thus making this product highly suitable for those individuals with lactose intolerances.

Recommended Usage

Consume 1-2 servings of SiS REGO Rapid Recovery immediately after each training session. SiS GO Energy Bars can also be consumed with this product to further increase carbohydrate intake, as would be required after particularly hard and long training sessions or races.
