Great if you get a blister!

If you haven't used compeed's blister stick, or a second pair of thin socks like Bridgedale's Coolmax liners, then you may need these Compeed blister plasters! Put one of these over your blister at the earliest opportunity, and you will be able to continue your long walk!

THIS IS NOT A REPROOFER

This product has been unfairly given a 1 star review because another reviwer failed to read the bottle.

Nikwax Tech Wash is not a reproofer. It is a safe cleaner for cleaning waterproof items. It is safe because it will PRESERVE any existing waterproofing treatment (that which causes water to bead) and will also clean any waterproof membrane such as eVent or Gore-Tex returning to their original breathability, as ordinary detergents will destroy the treatment.

If you have a jacket that has had it's DWR (Durable Water Repellency) diminished then you MUST used a secondary product after first washing with Tech Wash to restore that water repellency, of which Nikwax and Granger's produce several.

It is wholly unfair and innacurate to rate this product 1 star.

Didn't work for me

I followed the instructions on the bottle religiously and it didn't work for my two jackets (Berghaus / TheNorthFace). Very little or no water beading present at all.

I don't know if it was my washing machine or not.

Looking to buy a spray on product instead.

Highlander folding shovel - sturdy

I have bought this Highlander folding shovel to put in the car when snow is forecast.
It is a bit on the heavy side at 1Kg but this is to be expected as it is as described of 'heavy duty steel construction'.
When unfolded it is 60cm in height, 25cm when folded. The width of the spade is 15cm.
I believe that this will be up to the job of clearing snow and ice around the tyres to help get some grip and get the car unstuck.
Only two minor suggestions that I would make:
1) add a brief paragraph on to the packaging to explain how to lock the spade once it is unfolded (with spade fully extended, screw down the large collar-lock type nut). I guessed it was something like this but at first was not sure. Looks like you can also lock the spade head at 90 degrees to have a hoe, though this does reduce the overall length so not sure how effective it would be...
2) a pouch would be useful to keep it tidy in the boot of the car
Other than this, for less than a tenner, I am happy with the purchase.

Perfect for Christmas!!

I brought a packet for my friend and I before we went camping in the peak district, and one evening we got back to our caravan and we were really coldm, so we decided to use one on the hand warmers each and it was really good, it lasted for ages and we were warmer in about 15 minutes!
This is a really good gift for christmas, especally if you are going camping!!!

Simple yet effective grip for all the family

I was so impressed with my Yak Trax Pros, that I bought five pairs of the walkers for family members this Christmas. All were impressed with the simple yet effective solution to slipping all over the place in the snow and ice. Easy on and off any foot ware and no spikes so even kids can wear em.. Overall I would recommend purchasing these even if you only see snow on the odd occasion, better than a broken wrist :-)

Fantastic solution to slipping in icy conditions

Yaktrax Walkers are a superb solution to the problem of maintaining stability, grip and confidence in icy conditions when it's not bad enough to need crampons. They're so lightwight that they're no problem to carry around in case you need them. Highly recommended.
