Started a job where I have to use work boots every day. Socks supplied by my old company were giving me blisters. So I pulled out the pair of socks I keep with my walking boots. They were perfect and I'd had them for 20 years. Only ever used them while hiking, so I checked what brand they were and ordered myself 3 new pairs. Been wearing the new ones for 3 weeks and they're perfect. Hardly feel like I'm wearing a steel towcaps all day.
Was looking for a good running/walking shoe for the winter and came across the Hoka Anacapa 2 Low Goretex on the Great Outdoors website. Wear goretex most of the time and looking forward to wearing them over the next few months.
If you only ever own one tool, make sure it's a Leatherman, and if you can only own one Leatherman, make sure it's a Wave. Super sharp blades plus a solid body make this so reliable to use.
I have my black 32oz for easily 5 years now and have used it every day with ice for work. It holds water iced all day still and does not have a scratch or any wear on the paint - super impressed!
It's a great travel bottle. Store it in your pocket when empty. Top quality
Super comfortable and breathable! Great purchase and fast delivery.
Great service as always 👍
Got this in the black forest green colour yesterday, brilliant size for a morning coffee or tea without being too big or heavy!
Love my aeropress quick easy makes a cup of excellent coffee.
Mornings just got easier
Wide Mouth - Straw Cap
I absolutely love this anti-chafing stick! I’ve tried creams and powders in the past, but nothing comes close to how well this works. It glides on easily, is completely clear. Feels light on the skin and never leaves behind any sticky residue.
Great product & glad I got the mini orange as it’s a perfect fit, sound is terrific. Staff in Great Outdoors really great to deal with & thrir knowledge is second to none about their products . Well done I like dealing with this store Stephanie
Good protective jacket for those heavy downpours. I needed something longer length to protect better during the walks on tbose drench days plus have prefably a toggle to fit the hood better for the wind. I’m pretty happy with the purchase and got it on sale too 🥰
Francesco was very helpful giving plenty of advice on rucksacks. Thanks a million
