Q:
'Why are the colours of mountain clothing so boring? Black black
everything's black. Everyone seems to only make things in black! From
head to toe I look like a ninja! Why don't they make them in other
colours? Especially hats?
Q:
'Not wanting to waste more of the hard earned and yet sceptical of
these new "own brands" the question comes down to this, what
waterproof material performs best in different situations and is
there a holy grail?'
Q:
'What type of soap do I use to clean my goose down jacket?'
