RAB Neutrino Vest
Reviewed 31/08/2011 by Simon King
The Neutrino down filled puffer waistcoat from RAB is a complete wonder. It weighs just a few grams, squeezes down to nothing in its own stuff sack (and in this form, by the way, is super padding for camera kit in your bag). But it punches well above its weight for warmth.

Reviewed 31/08/2011 by Simon King

Reviewed 09/01/2011 by Simon King
Not many companies make outdoor wear with naturalists firmly in mind. Paramo is one. It's fair to say that no one outer layer is ideal for every environment, but the Halcon comes pretty close.

Paramo Torres Sleeves
Reviewed 09/01/2011 by Simon King
Another top idea from Paramo, and, to be honest, one of which I was very sceptical. The Arm Warmers may look a bit weird, but boy, do they work.
