January Storm Shelter Winner!

Winner of the Vango Storm Shelter for the best review submitted to OUTDOORSmagic in January revealed, plus some near thongs... Yes, thongs.

Ooops, is it really 4 February? Okay, the announcement you've all been waiting for, erm, possibly, the winner of the Vango Storm Shelter for reviews submitted to the user review system in January is...

Paul Austin for his review of the Macpac Vamoose Child Carrier. We liked Paul's review because it was clearly based on a lot of use, told you what you needed to know and didn't gloss over the weaknesses of the product while still highlighting the strengths. Oh, and because we felt sorry for him having to carry kiddies around the hills.

Click here to read Paul's review.

Other reviews we rated during January were Alistair Dent's take on his Montane Epic jacket. Jon Wickam on the Petzl Duo LED Upgrade Module and Tim Greenwood's realistic assessment of his Vango Sherpa 60+10 pack.

And the one that thankfully got away by being posted in late December, John Corteen's review of the Patagonia Women's Seamless Thong. Don't ask...


Submit a review and you too could win a Storm Shelter...

See this article for details of how you too could be in with a chance of winning a fabby Vango Storm Shelter simply by assessing your kit on our User Review System. No more proxy thong reviews though, please...

Well, it's nearly the end of the month. It's getting exciting!

I hope Jon is going to tell us who wins the Shelters each time as last year with the Petzl offer I only read about one guy winning one with his 'breaking in my boots' story and hadn't realised that Joan had won a headtorch until last week. It would be nice to know who the winners are so we can read the reviews and know what we need to do the impress 'the boss' LOL

Tactical errors all round. 3000 new reviews already this month. My ball-pint pen review is bound to win next month. HA!

Unless joan turns up again....
