Kuhl The Law Fleece Lined Hoody Review

The Kuhl Law Fleece Lined Hoody is not a Hoody. It is, however a very very stout winter jacket with a deep fleece and warm hood. I reviewed the Kuhl Burr Jacket in the past and this Fleece Lined Hoody feels like the ‘Big Brother’ of that. With articulated arms, an adjustable sleeve and loads of deep pockets this jacket is smart in urban areas and practical for wearing on a winter hike on the trails as well as having a distinct natural dye that will patina in a ‘rugged lived in way’ over time.

Outdoor Vitals Nova UL Jacket Review

Outdoor Vitals Nova UL Jacket Review

The Outdoor Visuals Nova UL Jacket gives you a 3 season jacket with an advanced down fill that keeps you warm even when its wet as well as pit zips to control sweating and wicking, an adjustable hood, thumb loops to help keep hands warm without gloves and deep zipped pockets to store your gear or keep your hands even warmer. The most innovative part is the ‘stitchless’ baffles which contain the fill without creating areas for water to seep in making it warm and water resistant which is rare in a jacket built for warmth.

Voited Poncho Review

Voited Poncho Review

The Voited Poncho is a better alternative to a waterproof jacket. By being a roomier fit you have the ability to keep your backpack dry as well as you. The adjustable sleeves and metal rimmed wide hood mean you can use this as a shelter and wear a helmet with it if cycling. The poncho packs up small and has a useful zipped kangaroo pouch. I also liked the ‘camo’ wetlands option to help me hide more when stealth camping or hunting. Continue reading Voited Poncho Review

Beyond Arx 2.0 K6 Rain Jacket Review

Beyond Arx 2.0 K6 Rain Jacket Review

The Beyond Arx 2.0 K6 Rain Jacket is the second generation outer layer designed to protect against the worst that the elements can throw at you. This is the first time Ive seen bomb proof cordura combined with breathability and water repellant coatings to create a jacket that is very strong and resistant to tears whilst still being breathable and waterproof. With 2 waterproof zipped pockets and an adjustable hood and generous tailoring to fit multiple layers beneath this jacket is the ultimate in outdoor protection at half the price of some of the ‘big brands’.
