Outdoorgear

The BioLite Headlamp 330 has surprised me in more than one way. I like the fresh clean overall design that makes it stand out from the crowd. I love the very comfortable headband. But the best thing is its weight: only 69 grams! The lighting is not the most powerful on the market in the price-range. The lighting has proven fine in daily outdoor practice. What I don’t like is the tiny on/off/lighting modes change button and the fact that changing into another light mode doesn’t always results in the mode I think I have switched to.

The G-Shock Mudmaster GWG 1000 1A3ER is waterproof, shockproof and – as the name reveals – mudproof. But is it as good as any other outdoor watch? Read the review or watch the video!

The Leatherman Free T4 is a multitool with the size of a Swiss Army Knife and the novelty that it uses magnets to keep all its tools in its casing. Is it as good as the legendary Leatherman multitool?

One of the garments that actually belong in every outdoor sports wardrobe is a softshell. I reviewed 8 softshells for three seasons for him and her.

The Ortovox Pala Jacket is a thin softshell and is suitable for activities with a high intensity. Thanks to the wool, the jacket is extremely comfortable to wear directly on the skin.

The Vaude Me Skarvan S Jacket is a thin hybrid softshell. Hybrid because it is made of different materials. The most used fabric is very stretchy, super breathable and quite windproof.

The Haglöfs Skarn Hybrid Jacket is a thin softshell that is suitable for intense activities where good protection against the elements is important.

The Norrøna Falketind PrimaLoft60 Jacket is a softshell that looks and feels more like light compact thermal jacket.

The icebreaker Hyperia Lite Hybrid Jacket is no softshell in the traditional sense; it is rather an insulating outer layer for colder days.

The Gore Wear Gore C5 & C3 Windstopper Thermo Trail Jackets are primarily softshell jackets for cyclists and mountain bikers. But is performs for hikers too.
