Injinji Liner Socks Review

Injinji Liner Socks Review

The Injinji Performance Liner and main sock means you get this combo ‘straight out of the packet’ with two types of socks made for each other so the ankle and fit is perfect.. This combination means maximum cushioning for your feet with great wicking to keep feet dry and the double layer reduces friction which means you are less likely to get blisters. The individual toes on the ‘undersock’ also prevent the skin on your toes from rubbing together and the ‘outer/main’ sock is tailored to be slightly larger to fit perfectly over the liner sock. With the option to wear just the liner in the height of the Summer, both in Fall or Spring or their Merino wool option in the depths of winter you have a modular set up to help reduce blisters when you are out hiking or trail running for long periods at a time.

Path Projects Sykes AT Shorts and Lynx Base Layer Review

Path Projects Sykes AT Shorts and Lynx Base Layer Review

They come with a modular ethos so you decide on the appropriate base liner beneath depending on the distance you are running and the weather conditions. By having lots of different outer and inner shorts combinations available you get the right short every time and reduce chaffing because the shorts move freely and independently of the inner short.

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
