For a while now Facewest and Mountain Equipment have been giving you a free Logo T shirt when you bought a Mountain Equipment jacket costing £100 or more. Now that offer has been extended to cover sleeping bags costing £100 or more, which is basically every down bag made by ME.

Classic lightweight aluminium burners and cooksets that run on methylated spirits. Trangia stoves have been around for years and have always been popular with outdoor groups and families. No moving parts at all so very reliable and excellent value. Not sure why it has taken so long to add them to the site as they have a great super light option and are popular the world over. Omission is now corrected.
In the pursuit of more fuel economy and faster boil times it has become apparent that the greatest gains are to be had by improving the heat absorbed by the cookware rather than the energy chucked out by the stove.
A standard unshielded pot only gets about 40% of the energy put out by the stove. By using a pot with a heat exchanger plus a wind shield this can be improved by up to 50%.
To save money on fuel, carry less fuel and have your tea ready sooner please see our range of efficiency improving cookware products.
I have just revamped our water filter and purifier offering. In comes the Steripen Adventurer and the MSR Sweetwater Filters. Discontinued is the MSR WaterWorks. All the images and descriptions for all the filters and purifiers have been improved and updated, which in some cases was long over due. We were never actually doing the Aquapure products justice but we are now!
To help you get the right product for your needs I have written an article
How to Choose the right water filter or purifier
Hope it helps, if it doesn’t please send me an email.

We thought we could broaden our Thermarest offering as we seemed to offer all the fast and light mats and the Trek Travel ones but were missing all the super comfortable Camp Comfort ones. I know you would be mad to walk anywhere we one of these monster mats but there are a lot of car campers out there who would be better off with a more comfortable nights sleep. If you walk as much as car camp then the trek travel series is more for you. And if you never camp anywhere near your car then go fast and light. Or if you can have a fast and light plus a Camp Comfort for the best of both worlds.
