Victorinox SwissCard Lite I've had this small pocket-size set of tool since quite some time and have found it perfectly helpful particularly because the tools are small but well-made and from strong materials and are packed in a tiny compact case ... Read review

Advantages: extremely bright, battery warning light, relatively light
Disadvantages: rather expesive, does have a larger battery pack than other models

I bought this head torch for a round the world tour this year and it held up wonderfully. At first it seems a very expensive product and in many respects it is - you are lucky to get it for less than $100 or 50 quid. However within a few weeks of using it ... Read review

I purchased on of these last year on e-bay for £65.00 and I find it brilliant in every sense fantastic light and burn time and fuel available all over the world I run mine on unleaded with no problems. Easy to light with electronic starter however a word of warning if you overfill the lamp. (Very easy to do) You will flood the electronic starter causing it to break when you light the lamp a new one costs about £13.00. I learnt the hard way, the easiest thing to do is remove it before filling, it easily slides out, apart from that the lamp is faultless for fishing camping and the predictable winter blackout Get one you won't regret it.

Advantages: Lightweight, accurate, easy to use
Disadvantages: Not really any

This is an extremely useful piece of kit, I originally purchased it to use for Geocaching but now use it as a pedometer as well, its great for parking up in the countryside and setting your car as a waypoint, you can then wander around knowing you'll alwa ... Read review

Advantages: Very bright, adjustable beam focus, spare bulb, heavy and robust
Disadvantages: none

I rate this as excellent as because it it very practical, looks great and has a very powerful beam. The whole body is made of metal and when stuffed with 4 D cell batteries, it weighs quite a bit, which I kind of like. Security guards use these types o ... Read review

Maglite, probably the best torches in the word
by fatboyslim

read all reviews

I hillwalk in Scotland regularly, most weekends and holidays and use walking poles. I would not be without them especially on steep downhill paths and tracks. I am going to Austria on a walking holiday in a couple of weeks. I want to take my poles but how do I pack them? Do I carry them separately or put them in with my luggage? Have never been walking abroad before so would welcome any help/advice from members.

I took this repellent with me when i went to Venezuela a couple of years ago now and some aspects really impressed whilt others were slighlty worrying. With regards to the good aspects, well it killed pretty much everything and meant that over a month ... Read review

I try to write longer reviews, however, this one is pretty easy. Energizer batteries will require nearly daily recharges. I advise not even thinking about using these for a wireless mouse.

Advantages: Waterproof, shockproof, great design, bright
Disadvantages: None!

I bought my maglite a couple of years ago. Since I do quite a lot of camping and going to music festivals, I thought it would be a good idea to invest in a good torch to see me through my camping adventures! The maglite comes in a black plastic protect ... Read review
