Berghaus Blues

Advantages: very comfortable, all day 3-4 season boot, all terrain, fully laden
Disadvantages: initial outlay is large but they will last for years. no half sizes

...Today I?ll be talking about Berghaus GR20 GTX hiking boots in detail. Like a lot of hikers I do have more than one pair of suitable footwear; which range from a pair of Merrell trail sandals to the high ankle Berghaus GR20?s. It is important to wear appropriate footwear and this can vary from hike to hike as there are many variables such as weather, terrain, hike length and pack load. The Berghaus GR20 GTX boots ≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈ The Berghaus GR20 GTX boots are particularly suitable for wet, muddy terrain, especially where there may be plenty of undergrowth. They are suitable for any length hike although for a short one I might go for a lighter boot but they are a very comfy boot to wear all day...

Berghaus CyclopsII Vulcan

Advantages: Massive capacity, good support, versitile
Disadvantages: Lack of hydration bladder

...The Berghaus Cyclops Vulcan is one of the largest rucksacks that you can buy, storing up to 100 litres and weighing 3kg, it is thus not suitable for a day hike. However, if you are reading this review, it is likely you are looking for a beasty rucksack, if so, then it's your lucky day. Designed for long-endurance and a lack of re-supply, the Vulcan is capable of holding everything needed for months without resupply. Those seeking a daysack should stop reading now, because the bag is impractical if half-full! It also allows for extensive modification, though serious modding would void the warranty. The Vulcan uses Berghaus' tried and tested Cyclops II back support system. While lacking Berghaus' 'bio flex' back system (allowing greatly flexibility), the Vulcan's support is decent, offering good back and shoulder support. This...

Super siemens M35.

Advantages: Variety of different functions
Disadvantages: Can't recieve logos or melodies.

...I’ve had 2 other mobile phones in the past and now currently own the Siemens M35. When it was bought it came in a blue, white and red one2one box, which also included a charger, 2 booklets, a registration form and the SIM card. After registration you also get £5 credit on your account. The 2 booklets were the phone manual which tells you how to insert the SIM, how to charge your phone, and how to use the different functions, such as putting phone numbers in the phone. The second was information about your service provider, in my case one2one. In that it tells about their charges for the variety of ways to communicate, such as phones on the same network, WAP,and text messages. The phone itself is 130g in weight, it is a 118mm in length, 47mm in width, and 22mm in height, which is pretty small and light. It is also water...

Review of Siemens M35

M35i small, sturdy and YELLOW

Advantages: Sturdy, built in aerial, good features, WAP, good sound quality.
Disadvantages: Keylock can not always stop keys from being pressed and the power button is a bit small.

...Siemens M35i Recently I decided that the time had come to join the mobile phone revolution. I have not really needed a phone before, but as I am now driving, I think that a phone with me in the car is a good idea for if I breakdown or for in emergencies. Also at work I never know what I am doing from one day to the next, so I need a phone to let my family know where I am and when I will be back and also to communicate with my employer. I looked in the Argos catalogue, to be somewhat disappointed with the selection on offer. I then had a look in out local mobile phone shop, to be greeted by an array of expensive contract mobiles. These are fine if you use your phone a lot, but I do not intend on using my phone every day or even once a week, only when it is necessary. I eventually looked in Woolworths to see a cheaper selection...

Siemens M35 - the phone for me

Advantages: Phone is easy to use
Disadvantages: Slow internet facility

...I bought my Siemens M35 phone about a year ago. I was attracted mainly by its low price and sleek finish. The BASICS The phone is part black, part grey, and looks good due to its curvy shape. In terms of size, it is about 4.5cm wide and 12cm long, and weighs about 110g. It is therefore quite a nicely sized phone - ideal for slipping in your pocket. A fully charged battery can provide a standby time of between 50 and 180 hours, and a talk time of between 90 and 300 minutes. RANGE OF FEATURES Text-messaging is relatively easy thanks to a built-in dictionary which predicts words as you write. Words can also be entered manually. This is necessary when a word is incorrectly formulated by the phone's built-in dictionary. In addition to the main uses, the phone has internet access and an e-mail facility. It also has four games...

Thailand Here I Come....

Advantages: Comfortable to carry even when it it full & heat resistant...
Disadvantages: Nothing to report as of yet

...INTRODUCTION As many of you maybe aware I am currently saving for my six week trip to Thailand in November, I have been before but this time me and my husband are planning to travel around instead of opting for one area in particular. This time around we are planning to take back packs instead of lugging around massive suitcases, I am still not sure if I can actually go six weeks with all of my possessions in a backpack but I am going to humor my husband and try to get everything into one bag as it will be much easier to travel around with. We have recently purchased two Berghaus Freeflow backpacks for the trip. Upon my first impressions they were very small and there was no way I could put everything I needed into this one bag, but after further inspection I have found it to be rather spacious. THE BACKPACK The Berghaus...

Bose Lifestyle 35 - 5.1 DTS surround sound.

Advantages: Sound, Style, Uses
Disadvantages: none

...of the speakers, fade etc. I then played the last song on the Eagles album ?Hell Freezes Over?. This song was written and performed for this 5.1 DTS system. Each voice can be heard uniquely in each of the 5 speakers. There is no bleeding (i.e. background noise, or noise from another speaker channel). Superb!! Also you have the option of adding ?zones? onto the system, so you could have speakers outside, controlled by the one remote, and the signal is relayed back to the Lifestyle system. The remote control is a little big, but easy to use. You can change the system to run off 2, 3 or 5 speakers. All the usual controls. You do have the option of several types of Bose speakers that are compatible with the Lifestyle 35. Having listened to several, I found that the Jewel, although more expensive had a far superior clarity and definition than...

Winter warm hat

Advantages: keeps my head and ears warm
Disadvantages: none

...I have a black fleece hat to keep my head and ears warm in this winter weather. It is a Power stretch Berghaus hat. I bought it from Millets . pm line you can buy ot for £10.79 from http://www.outdoorkit.co.uk I wore this hat in the winter on the school playground it was great kept my head and ears warm. I shall wear this hat when I go for walks in the hills when it is cold; It will help keep me cozy. This hat is made of Polartec® Power Stretch® fabric, which is extremely low bulk but has great thermal properties so it takes up little room in my pocket or back pack and does not make my head look massive. This is a stretch fabric and will fit larger heads than mine, some ladies may find it a little large but it fits my head ok, don?t think I have an especially big head. There is room to have a small turn up brim on this hat if...

Canon LiDE 35 Scanner

Advantages: lightweight, fast and easy to set up and use. nice slimline design.
Disadvantages: None that I have found

...A few months ago my old Agfa Snapscan 1212 gave up the ghost. Not surprising because I've had it since? it's been that long I honestly can't remember! It connected to the computer via the parallel port and was slower than the M25 with just one lane open. Mind you, just like the M25 when I first used it I thought it was terrific! It was in PCWorld that I first looked at the Canon LiDE35 - I'm afraid I wanted this machine so badly, I didn't shop around and bought it there and there. I loved its slim looks and the fact that it didn't need it's own power supply. It works directly from the USB connection. The scanner was well packaged in a nice strong box with a carry handle that I found handy to keep it stored when it's not in use. The software was child's play to load and easy to understand. It also linked itself to my Photographic...
