Osprey’s NEW Stratos series copes whatever the UK throws at it
March 18th, 2010 | written by admin
The four-strong Stratos range has always been popular. Now it’s set to go one step further with a raft of additional features and a fresh new look.
The Stratos Series has received significant upgrades in terms of features and from January 2010 all models will include an integrated rain cover, a feature only previously offered on the Kestrel Series. This easy-to-pack-away feature will protect your pack from rain and mud-splash-back. Another new addition will be Osprey’s Stow-on-the-Go™, a hassle-free system that makes attaching your trekking poles onto your pack a cinch keeping them safely out of the way when stile climbing or when the terrain is too soggy for effective pole-use. Other features include zippered hipbelt pockets, side mesh woven pockets with InsideOut™ compression and upper side compression straps, zippered hipbelt pockets and quick-access harness electronics pocket.

Mammut Mt Cliff GTX – live life on the edge
March 15th, 2010 | written by admin
Mammut the top-end Swiss outdoor footwear manufacturer has developed the Mt Cliff GTX, an ultra-lightweight mid-cut boot fashioned from rugged Dropstop textile with velour leather reinforcements – perfect for mountain walking, hiking and via ferrata climbing. The asymmetric lacing adapts to the anatomy of the foot and boosts the pressure on the big toe for precision footwork. The patented Mammut® Base Fit technology uses free-sliding bands to transfer the force of the lacing to the sole, ensuring a great foothold. The boot takes a B1 strap on crampon, making it one of the lightest boots to do so.
