Excellent lightweight rain jacket

Advantages: Lightweight, waterproof and windproof, easily adjustable, big pockets, stuffs down really small
Disadvantages: Some people find they overheat in it after moderate exertion.

...Berghaus have been one of the most popular outdoor brands for as many years as I can remember, yet the company seems to provide kit that seems as functional on the High Street as well as up in the high country. Take their Men's Paclite Trek Jacket, for instance - ostensibly a lightweight, waterproof mountain walking jacket but which both looks and acts the part down the local shops. The Paclite Trek is available in two colours: Mazzarine Blue and Black - both have large black panels across the top of the back and shoulders, plus along the bottom quarter length. Said panels are made from an abrasion-resistant material - you're more likely to wear the shoulders a bit because of rucksack or daysack straps. Logos are confined to the usual Berghaus label on the left-hand breast and a single "Gore-Tex Paclite Shell" logo on the right hand...

Review of Berghaus Mens Paclite Trek Jacket

The perfect 3 season Jacket

Advantages: Warm, waterproof, style, fit, price
Disadvantages: Zip is on wrong side for a Men's jacket

...too baggy or loose and although there is some play in the amount of fabric it is not something which feels or looks annoying. Waist and Wrist draw cords can be pulled to tighten the jacket around you for a better fit in windy conditions to keep out drafts. One thing to watch out for though is becuase the zips double back on themselves in order to attach the fleece to the waterproof jacket, they are on the wrong side for a Men's jacket i.e. normally the zip handle is on the left, zip insert on right. The jacket comes in a number of different colours depending on where you buy it, for example Black, Brown, Green and Blue. Practicality Practicality was clearly something which the designers of this jacket had in mind. As mentioned before, it forms 3 jackets in 1. The outer waterproof layer can be used on it's own when it...

UNJUST FOR MEN

Advantages: Easy to use, cheap
Disadvantages: Bland, boring, dull, tedious, yawn invoking

...tried blending various colours together and adopted the attitude that if you are colouring your hair, don't try to pretend it is natural... hence I used to add bleached tips or foils to vary the colour... or even add different colours to different parts of my hair - the leopard spots were a favourite for a while. One day I wanted to just blend away a bit of the grey and the only place available was the supermarket - I tried Just For Men and was sadly disappointed. This is absolute BLAND city!! The colours are insignificant and it seems this product is designed with very feint-hearted men in mind. It seems to have been created for the man who is deluding himself more than others and just reeks of fashion conservatism - I wouldn't be surprised to find button-up cardigans, slippers, corduoroy trousers and London Fog jackets in this man...

A Special Jacket!!

Advantages: very versatile
Disadvantages: None really

...CAROLINA III LADIES MILATEX TM JACKET This is a sports jacket, which is very much an outdoor coat. It is lightweight, waterproof and is easy to make compact to stowaway. The secret of this jacket and what makes it different is its design and it is made out of Milatex. It is ideal for days out, holidays, when travelling or just everyday use. Really anytime you want to bring a coat and want to store it and don't have much space as it packs up small. This coat has some special features that make it better in my opinion than others. It is waterproof and will keep you dry from the rain. It comes down over your bum, which is great, as it keeps it dry. I find this important as it means you are not sitting on wet clothes all day as some coats don't cover this region very well and you still get wet. No wet gets inside your coat...

But WHY is it "JUST FOR MEN"?

Advantages: It works in covering grey
Disadvantages: The STIGMA, the price, stains, tricky to apply yourself

...This year my wonderful sexy husband turned the big 4-0. He wasn't TOO touchy about this (read: so long as no-one mentioned it, and the day slipped past without a fanfare) until a few months ago he attended a funeral where there were lots of family members he hadn't seen for years. One of them mentioned how "distinguished" he was looking, and that was it?when he came home he said that he wanted to dye his hair. Now, we all know that men don't want to be seen as vain, "product"-using creatures, so of course I was dispatched to purchase the necessary chemicals. I found that there were two main brands of hair-colorant aimed at men in our local Tesco: Grecian 2000, and Just For Men. I decided on the Just For Men, as it was a shampoo-in permanent colour. This meant that it would only need to be applied every 6 weeks or so, whereas...

Just for idiotic old men

Advantages: Easy to apply
Disadvantages: Granny is going to shoot me

...We are to have a nice family portrait taken for Christmas and as I looked in the mirror a rather grey haired old man was staring right back at me. Now don?t get me wrong I am quite proud of my portly figure and the twinkle in my eye but it was as if I had realised for the first time how grey/white I had gone. This portrait was to be special so what should I do I asked my daughter. Dad she said the time has now come to put a little colour on your hair. The late Leslie Crowther used to dye his hair, as did Jacques Villeneuve so I didn?t feel too effeminate having made my decision. The children giggled and I just growled at them. My daughter returned from the shops with two products. Grecian 2000 and Just for men. I tried the Grecian 2000 for a few weeks but my hair just must not have suited it. And do you know as soon as you stop...

The Jacket

Advantages: If you like a thinking film, then this is the film for you.
Disadvantages: Quite difficult to understand in some parts.

...The Jacket staring Keira Knightley playing Jackie and Adrian Broody playing Jack Starcks, provides a thrilling film with an exciting and mind boggoling story-line. Jack returns from the Gulf War 12 months later having been shot in the head with a gun by an Iraqi orphan, he experinences 2 life changing events; first he meets the young Jackie and her mother on the side of a road as their truck has broken down. Jack fixes the truck and gives Jackie his dog tags. Jack then carries on and gets picked up by a stranger, they get stopped by the police and the stranger shoots the policeman and then puts the blame on Jack. Jack then goes to trial although we do not see this and instead of being put in prison for the policeman's murder, the court decides that Jack should be put in to a mental hospital where he can undergo tests. Whilst in...

Altura Kinetic Women's Jacket - warm and dry in any weather.

Advantages: Waterproof and comfortable
Disadvantages: none

...Over 12 Months ago I started cycling to work for both health and fitness reasons. At the beginning I just used normal training gear so I didn?t spend a lot on the cycling clothes just on the bike. Months down the line I was well and truly hooked on the cycling bug starting to go out at the weekends as well. But the need comes for good Cycling clothes to keep you warm and protected in the winter months. In November my boyfriend brought me the Altura Kinetic Women?s jacket as a present for keeping up my exercise routine, The jacket is quite expensive as we had seen it in our local independent bike shops for just over £60 but if you have a look online you might be able to get it for £60 or under. We decided that as I was keeping up my cycling I needed to be fully protected from the rain and wind and have the reflective strips so that...

Euphoria for Men

Advantages: Nice smell
Disadvantages: None

...Calvin Klein Euphoria Man Calvin Klein Euphoria for women perfume is one of my favourite fragrances and so I decided to buy the mens version for my husband for his birthday. Calvin Klein call this a very addictive and unique signature with a fresh oriental fragrance. Calvin Klein the designer first came into the forefront of perfume when he released CK one, the fragrance for both men and women. I used this fragrance off and on and found it to have quite strong, masculine smell. Euphoria for Men was released in 2006. Like most mens fragrances this has quite a musky smell to it but is also quite spicy and strong. It is said to have top notes soaked with crisp and spicy accents, with Ginger Pepper cocktail, raindrop accord and chilled Sudachi. I love reading about this ingredients because they really do not make much sense to me, I have...

Wii want a jacket, Wii have a jacket

Advantages: The grips work!, Sturdy and reliable
Disadvantages: Restricting your control on the Wii remote

...The Wii jacket has recently been supplied from nintendo free of charge to anyone who has got a wii controller, it was given out due to the extensive amount of people losing grip on the controller and the controller being launched 10 feet into the air and breaking something valuable. After receiving my wii remote the main struggle that I had was putting it on! The rubber was hard to stretch over the Remote without me getting my hands dirty. But once on it's very useful - it enables you to have more grip on the controller while feeling comfortable using it, and you can still 'point and play' so the product does work. However I find that with the Wii remote jacket on, it takes a certain amount of realisticness out of the game. The game suddenly doesn't feel as good and it feels flawed. This may just be me but I prefer playing wit...
