Here at OUTDOORSmagic, we understand that often buying kit isn't totally straightforward, it's a case of working out what's going to work best for you rather than for us or anyone else and to help you, we've put together a whole series of Buyers' Guides covering everything from boots to shell jackets.

Do you need ice axe loops? What are those straps on the side for?
Do I really need pockets on the hip-belt? Where's the lid gone?
Are day packs waterproof?

Each one tells you what you need to know about buying a particular bit of kit in general then covers the specific features to look for and what they do. So when you walk into an outdoors shop or go virtual shopping online, you'll already have a good idea of what you should be looking for.

You cand find all our Buyers' Guides in one place in the Gear section of the site using the menu at the top of the page or simply click to see them all in one place.
