Tuesday Is Richard Gear Day!

Gear news in association with
eVent Fabrics

It's Tuesday and our man Gear, Richard Gear, has been busy answering your kit questions.


This week he looks at...

Which is the best lightweight sleeping bag? Richard's Answer

What lightweight camp footwear to choose for Corsica? Richard's Answer

Which brands produce leather walking boots without a waterproof lining? Richard's Answer


Over 470 Questions Answered So Far

Over the years, Richard has answered around 470 questions from whether you can carry petrol in a pack - that fuel crisis emotion - through to more sensible queries about tents and clothing.

You can find them all in our 'Ask Us' section where you can read through previous answers, search for a particular question or ask a question of your own. Unfortunately Richard is dead busy so he can't answer every question posed though he does his best.
