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...

Review of Berghaus GR20 GTX

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...

Berghaus Munro

Advantages: Super tough, military specification daysack with internal frame
Disadvantages: Not a lot of pockets!

...Made of 1000 denier textured nylon which is as tough as old boots, with synthetic fabric used on body contact areas. It is fast drying, durable and very comfortable on the back. The alluminium alloy frame gives excellent support and harness rigidity to the pack. The two buckle lid closure ensures maximum weatherproofing, plus gear can be held under the lid in good weather. Dual density foam ensures comfort and prevents items in the pack from digging into the back, and there is a waist belt with 25mm webbing which holds the pack snugly onto the back when crossing rough terrain. There are four accessory attatchment points from which 3 bar buckles can be used to attach straps additional to the elastic strapping. Ideal for use as a civilain or in the military!...

Review of Boots (Shop)

Boots - the Store

Advantages: Quality products all under one roof
Disadvantages: None

...Everybody's favourite High Street chemist and beauty store! The Boots Company PLC is a chain of high street stores known for their pharmacy and beauty/health products. You can find a Boots on just about every high street in Britain. In fact Boots has approximately 1,500 stores in the UK and abroad. This is the thing I like most about it, you are always guaranteed to find a store wherever you are in the country which makes it easy when you need to buy a repeat brand or just need to pop into one quickly because you have left your toothbrush at home on a weekend away. Boots was founded in Nottingham in 1849 by a gentleman called John Boot, hence the name and turned into a chain by his son Jesse. Boots stores are very easy to spot and recognize on the high street. They include a big blue sign with Boots written on it in cursive white...

Review of Boots

Boots!

Advantages: You can buy most things here
Disadvantages: Some things are slightly more expensive than other places

...Ive been thinking about writing an op on Boots for months, but theres just a million and one things to say about it, so Ive been holding off. But since Ive been gone for such a long time I might aswell come back with some big ops! "Boots The Chemist" is one of the best known retail names in the UK, providing health & beauty products that "enhance personal wellbeing." This covers everything from home essentials like toothpaste and deoderant to high end makeup products from Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. Boots employ around 75,000 people and their products are sold in 130 countries worldwide.

Review of Boots Boots

Boots

Advantages: Convenient, loyalty points system, frequent special offers
Disadvantages: Some overpriced items

...Boots is a well-known chemist with stores up and down the country. If you don't have one near you, or find it inconvenient, you can buy products from the website at http://www.boots.com. Boots sell cosmetics, medicines, perfumes, haircare products, even sandwiches, and they are even branching out into areas like Botox, photo-processing, opticians, and laser-eye surgery! I have seen these advertised, but I have not used these services, so I can't comment on them. I have two stores near me, but I'm concentrating on the Trafford Centre branch for now. It is spread out into two floors - the ground floor deals with photo-processing and baby products, ie: nappies, bottles, etc. The upper floor is dedicated almost entirely to cosmetics, haircare products, etc, with a small section for the food (sandwiches, crisps, drinks, etc...

in the boot!

Advantages: Conveniently located and stocks the esentials
Disadvantages: a bit more expensive then other shops

...In almost every shopping centre and walkway you will find a Boots store. Quick history lesson: Boots was established in 1849 by a man named John Boot and his son jesse. The company was sold to an American drug company in the 20's and was sold back to British owners in the 30's. In 1991 Boots bought the company Halfords which sold bicycle, car and camping equipment. Boots later sold Halfords in 2002. The company manufactures its own brand of painkillers, vitamins and other such drugs. Another interesting fact found is that in 2005 Boots was looking into selling sex toys but later abandoned that idea. Would have been interesting popping into your local Boots for some face wash and a vibrator, (*immature giggle*). In general Boots is a convenient store selling many different items stuff from toothpaste to camera films. Some things can be...

Review of Boots (Shop)

Puts the Boot(s) up all the others.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review on Boots, based on the main store in the Centre of Plymouth's main shopping centre. The Boots store I am reviewing is in Drake Circus, which is a fairly new shopping centre in the middle of Plymouth. Boots has had a long prescence in Plymouth, and there has always been a shop within 100 yards or so of where it actually is now from what I can remember. The original place that housed Boots is known locally, by the affectionate name of 'Boots Corner' - but should you wish to find a place in Plymouth, then I can honestly say that if it is in this area then don't be surprised if you hear Boots Corner being talked about. However, I digress and so back to the subject in hand. Once you walk in to Boots, you can be nothing but amazed at the brightness of the shop. There is nothing but white walls and so...

Boots

Advantages: Reliable name & Advantage Points
Disadvantages: Prices can be dearer than Superdrug

...I sometimes check out product prices when I am in Superdrug or some other chemist and notice that prices can sometimes be a bit cheaper than in Boots. I usually do try and do my shopping in Boots for my toiletries as I find it handy when the points on my advantage card add up. The advantage card enables you to get 1 point for every 25 pence that you spend in the store, and quite often they do double or triple point weekends so the points can fairly add up. I save them up for Christmas time and find them handy for buying extras for my son and two nieces. Which is why I usually try to buy my toiletries in Boots as every little helps!! Boots is a well stocked, tidy, well presented store. It's also quite a bright store with Boots emblazened on the front of the store in blue writing with white background. There are many...
