I've not yet used this mat, so this is more of an initial reaction to the product having received it. I already own an Exped Synmat UL, which is lightweight and very good for 3 season camping. I wanted a mat that I could use primarily in the winter and also that was robust for the kids to use during family camping. Having received the Exped Dura it is very comfortable, in style much like the Synmat, so if you have another Exped mat this is just as good. The main difference is that the materials feel much more heavy-duty, but that is reflected in the increase in weight. The R rating is higher than the rating on my previous winter mat and so I have every confidence it'll keep me nice and warm during winter months. All in all I would strongly recommend giving this mat a go if you're looking for a four season hardwearing mat. If you're looking for a 3 season mat then the increase in weight probably doesn't justify it so go for a slightly lighter pad. If you're likely to be doing long hikes (in contrast to me doing 5-6miles then camping), and you don't have kids who are likely to jump on your mat, then it may be worth looking at the Exped Ultra series rather than the Dura series, which is a be more lightweight but not as robust. Final comment, I'm 6ft2inches and a side sleeper, the Long and Wide version of this mat is perfect for me. In short, if you buy you won't be disappointed.

Purchased as a birthday present. Despite an ordering issue Gerry at Facewest went above and beyond to ensure that we got the delivery when we needed it. Would recommend Leatherman and Facewest.

Wow! These gloves rock. Soon after receiving them I went out for a a ski tour on a wet sleaty day. The fit is superb, with perfectly preformed fingers and no excess palm material, so that when gripping things, no excess material can reduce the feel of the ski pole. They kept me warm and dry and I may take these for winter mountain days too. You will not be disappointed

Without doubt, these freeze-dried, expedition-quality foods are the best currently available. Why? Because not only is their shelf-life typically very long (several years), they hydrate superbly in their own (very stable) packet, but they are made of REAL ingredients. Nothing artificial. No glucose syrup or MSG. Even the tiny application of sugar (for taste) is way down the list of ingredients. So no indigestion or headaches afterwards! We use them all the time - for lunchtimes on the go, we'll boil up the required amount of water at the side of the trail (or bring a flask) & share a 1000Kcal bag; for evening "luxury", having our own 800Kcal bag is preferred. Other pre-packed foods we've tried often necessitate taking little bags of dried cheese or miniature bottles of Tabasco to "spice them up" but the only thing we've ever considered adding is a pinch of salt - & even then, this is hardly necessary. Lots of meals to choose from & they really do taste differently! Sure we have our favorites but we've not yet had one we actively didn't like. Superb delivery & attention to detail as usual from FW, in addition to loyalty points - thanks very much for this! Strongly recommended if you appreciate real food that's not been messed about.

Warm, light, sole suprisingly robust (rigged foam not down), brush lining is pure luxury. I deliberated and got the Medium even though I am a 44 and they are a perfect fit! :-) These are definitely slippers not socks, for when you need to carry them when hut touring or dry camping.

The original Xenon was amazing. Good materials, sleek looking, and nice weight. Then Rab decided to "upgrade" it, and changed to cheaper materials. Well, better profit, I guess. Now they have "upgraded" it again and we're left with a heavier but colder jacket with sewn-through insulation. I've always liked Rab but the company seems to be doing a lot of bad changes to it's products lately.

3L bag If considering buying this product you should note that the bags are considerably smaller than they seem. I purchased the 3L bag and once it is sealed three turns as advised it losses over half its capacity. I acknowledge that this may be more pronounced on the smaller bags but I feel the description of the product is misleading.

I always like to have a synthetic insulate jacket as well as a down & I went for the new style Superflux as I’d had the earlier style & found it was so warm & a perfect fit. The outer shell has a really good quality feel, it feels much tougher than anything I’ve had before, yet still light & packs down small. It’s also very water resistant compared to the earlier style. I chose the red (firecracker) as I’d seen it in Aviemore & loved the colours. This is by far the best synthetic on the market & a bargain for the money. The logos on the arm & chest are stitched so it shouldn’t fade or come off, which is different from the older style. The hood is a much better fit, with or without a helmet. Five star

Amazingly compact garment providing warmth without bulk. Sizing on the ‘neat’ size but feels and looks lovely.

Had many of these, the latest purchase for an imminent trip into the desert, Jordan. They do the job well. Excellent service from Facewest, too.

This is the first ski bag I’ve bought. Initial impressions are that it’s good quality, easy to handle with equipment inside and robust enough to cope with anything airport staff can throw at it. Happy with my purchase and the good value price.

This allows ordinary or indeed Leatherman bits to be used with the appropriate Leatherman mutitool. This gives a much better clearance when using it so that the tool becomes more useful in the hand. Be aware that to fit the Leatherman bits the socket is deeper than normal and ordinary bits tend to sit quite low down, making it awkward to remove them. But you have the pliers on hand to grip the ordinary bits to remove them.

Excellent straps which I use for bike packing. Great value compared to others on the market with no difference in performance

Fantastic quality and arrived very promptly, got it at cheaper price than elsewhere and happy with service.

These are THE shorts for backpacking, no belt loops, no buckles or studs to get pressed into your waist by the hip belt on your pack. Extremely comfy and understated with the bonus of quick drying.

At the discounted price these are fantastic value. Leather palm with Goretex waterproofing, very warm and enough room under the cuff to fit wrist guards. I bought these for the girlfriend who loves them, and she is very fussy about her mitten gloves. Well about everything actually!

Top quality Gore-Tex pant. Look like they’ll last for years….Very pleased with my purchase at a very competitive price

A great size, quality and colour beanie ! Well made, super well made and all in all a super hat! I love it ! Bright colours makes it even more attractive and fun xx

After doing my review research - I decided to buy one of the Noctilights with the accompanying “Actik Core” (please note out of all the Petzl head lamp models, this is the best one designed to fit inside the Noctilight) This little duo is simply amazing. Can be used as a hang down lamp (with the clever elastic attachment ) or a simple bedside/table top lamp! Both great quality - but this little device is ingenious……. Highly recommended and a great buy!xx

What a brilliant, USB chargeable little head torch ……… good level of brightness and settings . Suitable for many different “dark/low lit” areas. Reasonably priced and the perfect partner to go with the Noctilight (please not sit is THIS HEADTORCH that’s the best fit with the Noctilight . Great buy. Amazing service, price and quality ! Highly recommended 5 stars xx

Really happy with the jacket and the service provided. It was quickly delivered and the returns process worked very well when I had to return a size that didn't fit. My only suggestion would be to make more explicit in the returns policy where the return form should be placed.

I normally wear a large in most brands and most clothes but had to size up to XL to get A normal fit. When they say slim fit they really mean it!! I use this as a static layer for winter wild camping and this really cuts the wind out and is super warm. I work with commercial walk in freezers that operate between -18c to -21c. And if I layer a light weight insulated peice like an arcteryx nuclei FL under the rab zero g I can stand still For typical UK winter weather I wear it from 5c to -8c with just a base layer underneath but I do run on the warmer side of average

Great boot. Quality feels excellent. They are extremely light and comfortable. So far so good in terms of keeping water out during our week hiking in the Lake District. I had to exchange for half a size up. Facewest were brilliant with this processing the return extremely quickly.

I got these in the sale for a good price. They did half sizes which are best for me. They are cut like a trainer, but are more study. Not exactly beautiful, but they do the job and I am pleased. Prompt delivery as ever. I do not really buy sports clothing/kit from anywhere else.

I bought this as an underlayer for brisk walks and jogs. I got a medium and is quite generous. It felt really good and soft but after a couple of hours it became a little itchy. I have given it a wash now and so will try it again. If it is still itchy I can easily wear it over another lawyer.

Feels flimsy for the price, however it is an add on to a good tool, (Skeletool) bought for the wife who likes crafts. She's happy. This is the second one purchased.

Good quality well made a pleasure to own, the service was excellent.well done to all thanks

Great service by facewest and hat is lovely quality, just a bit tight for my large 59cm head! If your head is bigger than mine then maybe try before you buy! Love the look of it though and it’s nice material and warm enough.

Having purchased a decathlon ski bag and sent it back because it was too flimsy I decided to try one of these. Let's just say, I wont be sending it back. Feels great quality, well made, nicely padded. Only down I can see is that it needs internal straps to secure the skis. Very happy with Facewest's service and will use again.

Bought one of these hats years ago when they first came out, much loved and brilliant weather protection, but, unfortunately, I have now lost it! Bought this one as a much needed replacement but this is a different beast altogether. The original was much sturdier, made from thicker nylon and with a breathable waterproof lining and a decent thermal insulation. The current one is lightweight has a thin nylon shell with what feels like a cheap PU coating and with thinner insulation. All rather disappointing but time will tell if it is going to last and perform adequately.

Really nice feeling (against the skin), semi casual top, that i've jogged in, popped to the supermarket in and lounged around the house in. I originally bought it for trail riding on my bike for the cooler months, but decided it was too nice for that. The pockets are very bouncy if jogging with a phone, or some other heavy item in them, but otherwise, a great versatile top that can function for many uses, as it looks good as well as being functional.

Excellent goggles, delivered very quickly, highly recommended.

Award winning boot has so far lived up to expectations. Previous model was far less robust and leaked almost from new. This boot has proved to be totally waterproof, comfortable from new including lots of space across the ball of your foot with good levels of grip.

First time I’ve bought from Facewest. I’m impressed with the speed of delivery of the Rab Nexus pull-on. The price was most competitive on internet. I love the Nexus, so very comfortable and warm to wear. Nice quality, so looks like it will last many seasons. So yes I would recommend Facewest and the Rab Nexus……

Bought two medium size pillows, great for camping in my roof tent. Will probably end up buying XL size for the bedroom. Thanks

Outstanding piece of kit, used it twice since purchase, super comfortable and really warm, the age old saying, you only get what you pay for.... carry on camping 🤣🤣🤣🤣

After years of looking for the perfect jacket for skiing and mountaineering here it is!! Only 1 small complaint and that is the internal phone pocket is too small for an I Phone 8+.otherwise a perfect jacket 👌

Good fit, and I love the colour! well described and very quickly delivered.

Mind blowingly light weight, packable and warm. Super quick delivery too.

Super quick delivery too.

If you own a Hope light this is what you need giving plenty of power plus a power indicator and although heavy if used with extension cable you can fit it into a jacket pocket instead of attaching to bike which I found a much safer option and easier for removal of lights.

Great fit and will definitely keep me dry.

Great piece of kit!My last one,I gave my last one to the homeless as it was hung up with one side facing the sun and faded so it was olive one side and sea sick face colour on the other. I wore it next to skin in piss down up Big Bad Ben and was dry,and toasty. On Kily it was part of a layer as it is a wee hair chilly at 22,000 feet!!Fine on Monte Bianco with a wee bit of help from a Mammut jacket. We were issued with black one in MSU:PSNI. New one only worn once as too warm. I have a red one somewhere but can’t find it!I hope that I didn’t give it to the homeless too!I must get a hood!How much are they. Classic example of “If it’s not broken;don’t fix it!” Extra length feels a bit funny but should be grand!As we say in Ireland “Keep her lit!!

Bought these for my husband who has an office outside not heated so gets very cold.They are fab and keep his feet toasty and warm very good but would recommend.

Damn good quality and fit

I recently bought this sleeping bag from Facewest. On delivery I had a few questions about looking after the bag so I phoned the customer service line. The person who answered had specific product expertise and knowledge of the bag I had just bought and answered all my questions very thoroughly…and gave me some additional pointers besides.

The bag itself? I haven’t used it yet in the wild but from my test use at home it’s an excellent bag and will keep me very warm in very cold places.

Very impressed. Thanks!

Perfect fit, fast delivery, best price found. Quick reply from email enquiry.

Excellent product, delivery spot on.

Lovely lightweight tee, good material and washes well. I would take a 12 but as unavailable, I bought size 14. It looks fine as the light weight fabric drapes well

A good for and very comfortable, so much so that I bought a second one! I bought size 12 - I'm 37.5" bust, 5 foot 4", and 63kg.

Super light weight. Great fit and comfy

Brilliant service from facewest. Really happy to see that they used minimal packaging. The hoodie from Patagonia is a really high quality item and I will get years of use out of it. You very much get what you pay for and with the world awash with fast fashion, it's great to see a company produce high quality and eco friendly products that don't cost the earth. A bargain really.

Comfortable, good fit, wicks well as a base layer when summer hillwalking. Doesn't lose shape after washing.

Again an excellent service and great product

After extensive reading of reviews from outdoor writers and actual purchasers, decided to invest in a good night’s sleep. I’m 5’ 11” and the length and width of this mat are superb. I’m a side sleeper and found the support (no rolling around/off the mat) and insulation exceptional. Used it for two nights’ comfortable sleep. Would definitely recommend this product: not cheap but a good sleep is essential preparation for a day in the hills. Service from facewest was 5 star too!

This is a really well made jacket, but I found this particular style didn’t really fit me well. The hood was particularly large and didn’t fit well at all without a helmet. I wanted to use for hiking but it wouldn’t of worked well. Shame as Rab is my go to brand.

I have now slept on it four times and find it to be very comfortable. I slept just as well as at home. When it arrived thanks to reading previous reviews I unpacked it and gave it 24 hours to self-inflate so that it recovered from an extended period of being deflated. Now it inflates very quickly and I don't need to add any extra air. My 75kg weight does not compress the mattress even when I turn on my side so I never feel the ground underneath. In my view worth every penny. Service from Facewest was excellent. Prompt delivery and well packaged so no danger of mattress being damaged in transit.

Perfect fit, hope to be able to try it outdoors soon.

Great item, very well made and feels gorgeous. Fits well, very lightweight. Great service and price from Facewest.

Great pair of shorts, fit perfectly and feel very relaxed when walking. Great price and service from Facewest.

Great ski bag, very well made, fits two pairs of skis and poles easily, leaving loads of room for other kit. Great service and price from Facewest.

Very useful bag, fits my boots, helmet and goggles. Very well made, with step on mat at rear and rucksack straps. Bought at a great price and great service and delivery.

Fantastic, my search is over! Have been on a quest to find a lightweight short sleeve shirt that doesn't just soak up the sweat when I'm running. This shirt has been amazing, retains very little moisture and dries out very quick. It's so good I've even worn it when spinning (Peloton!) and it is perfect, light airy and dry! So good I have bought two more, even thought they don't come cheap. Note these are slimmer fitting than the standard Cap Cool shirts so I sized up.

great light jacket for autumn.

Excellent light windproof, fairly showerproof, stuffable jacket. Good for golf, tennis, walking and whatever.

Excellent light windproof, fairly showerproof, stuffable jacket. Good for golf, tennis, walking and whatever.

Bought, tried on and returned unfortunately. Believed the reviewer who said they were a "tight fit" - not true. Great technical material, pockets, zips etc, but very baggy in the size I'd normally wear (medium).

I've been looking for a Synchilla to add to my collection and the colour available (blue) was exactly what I had in mind. Synchilla fleeces are a relaxed fit and worth remembering when ordering. While I'm often a Large in other styles/makes, I had a medium this time and it fits perfectly. Thanks to FaceWest for stocking the colour and for such speedy delivery.

I knock a star off because this is my second jacket (the other I purchased a few years ago) and in comparison the quality just seems slightly lacking. However having said that the convenience of this layer is perfect. I wear this on its own or in the winter under a raincoat or jacket and it keeps me toasty, especially on long hikes. Because of its shape & lightness it fits snug. If I get too hot its so easy to store or carry. Obviously these are all the reasons I bought a second one!!

Suunto always have provided me with quality compasses, and I bought this to add on to backpack for my hikes out with the kids and show them basic skills.. works perfect and great product

I used this for a week Camping. It was very comfortable and was strong/durable so you didn't have to worry when moving around the tent. I found the rectangular shape (rather than rounded style) easier to wake up and still actually be on the thermarest rather than slipping off! The valve is high quality and easier to blow up than previous thermarests I have used. The product also comes with a bag inflator which I have not used before and is useful if you don't want to use your mouth to blow it up (although it understandably takes more time (maybe I need more practice)). As for folding away, it is really simple and easily fits back in the holder bag if you fold into thirds across the width and then roll. Nice and small when folded if you are backpacking. Overall, it does exactly what I need it to do. I haven't used it enough to tell whether it will last years and years with decent care, but I am hoping it will and the quality suggests it should.

A top tip I was once taught was to try and get most of the air out in a quick roll up, forcing it out. Then seal it the valve, unfold/roll it and then properly fold (for this one into thirds across the width) and roll properly, getting the final bit of air out by opening the valve at the end. (Maybe everyone knows this but thought I'd add it just in case!)

A Great backpack ,that is of Great quality and design ,shoulder straps and back design offer more support for back than most backpacks..which gives it a great feel...plenty of room for a days mission...!

Fair price and a excellent leatherman tool

This would have been a 5 star review if it wasn't for the size quoted for the large pillow of 58cm is incorrect. It is actually about the same size of the medium. I did get a refund for the difference with an apology form Facewest within a couple of days, however they also said that they would update the sizes shown on their web site, but as of today 10/09/21 they still haven't done this. Just be aware if you order this product that the size quoted may not be the size you get.

Had jacket for a month now, hasn’t rained. And this is Scotland! Looks & feels great though.

Gorgeous colour (ink), fantastic quality as we've come to expect from Rab. Heartily recommend these jackets.

Great speedy delivery and secure packaging from FW - thanks for this! I'm not going to dock a star for the fact that FW's listing erroneously lists this tool as having a bottle opener (a can opener is all that's included in this department), but whilst knocking the lid off a cool one might not be quite so neatly accomplished in the absence of a dedicated opener, it's not exactly rocket science to do so in other ways. Whilst we're addressing the accuracy of the tool, mine weighed in at a smidgen under 179g, although I do understand that there's generally an allowance for small weight discrepancies between supposedly identical tools. The nylon pouch is tough and appears well made. Mine weighed 29.2g. I've also got the Squirt (had it for years) but even though it only has a small blade, technically it's still a locking knife, which in the UK, could be a bit of an issue with some over-zealous policing... So for everyday carry, on the person (belt in my case), this is perfect. Quality-wise, it's oozing - SO superior to cheaper and in my experience, less dependable knock-offs. Sure - the pliers could be sprung (the scissors are) but I feel this could affect the longevity overall so I don't see this as a big deal. How many pliers are sprung anyway? Be aware though, that the saw blade is really sharp and the awl has a pointed tip. Given that ALL the gadgets are lockable (as in, they lock in position meaning that you can use them without the risk of them collapsing in use), some of these ends could still be lethal in the wrong hands (I'm thinking that perhaps this isn't the best gift for a child for this reason - but this is only an opinion!) All-in-all, really good though.

Love these T’s from Arcteryx, perfect fit amazing feel and exemplary service from Facewest 5 stars all the way.

for me, this jacket had a bad hood and tight sleeves that's why I returned it

Great Rucsack. Love the large pocket on the front, great for wet stuff or spare shoes. Really nice that it can be tightened up really small or extended to 28 L . Best price was from Facewest and delivery was very quick. Just wish it hadn't come in a plastic bag, not sure why Patagonia with all their other great environmental credentials still insist on having everything in a plastic bag !

I've yet to use this item 'in the field' but on my initial trial (In the house) this does provide a very comfortable chair that can also be used within my tent - Robens Starlight 1! This model of chair kit does appear to be the initial variant and does not appear to be as user-friendly as the current model is (particularly if your mat has twin valves!d). I do recommend that you practice, practice using this chair before taking it out 'in the field' as this will enable you to be proficient in its set-up.

I've yet to use the mat 'in the field' but I have inflated and tried it out within the home. The quality appears to be there along with comfort. Both valves operate with no issues. However, the acid-test will be when I use this mat 'live' but going on the various reviews I've listened to/read it functions well,

I’m really pleased with this pack. The draw cord system being combined with the lid makes for good compression. That along with the side tension straps makes for a sung pack. Its super comfy and almost shapes itself to fit your body. The wide hip belt is an added bonus on this size of pack, but the pockets are are tiny. Even so worthy of 5 stars as its just so comfortable and well made.

I got the wide normal length, it's transformed my camping. I lay in the sleeping bag in the morning thinking "I am so comfortable it's amazing". Great bit of kit but possibly a bit bulky for ultra lightweight expeds but I'd probably put up with the extra bulk for the comfort.

Disappointed with this saw. The handle is small and uncomfortable to hold, the pole attachment is a bodge and the the sheath is cheap. I would not recommend. You will find a better (pruning) saw for half the price in a DIY shop.

Solid but lightweight compared to the old skiing poles I was using previously. Extending and collapsing them is easy and seems robust but I did have to watch a video on how to do it first! Used these for a long day walking the 3 peaks and they did the job. Excellent service from facewest - delivered within 24 hours.

Great camping pillow, light weight and easily inflated, packs up really small, perfect camping pillow when weight and space matter!

I decided it was time to replace my Thermarest self inflating mattress after years of great service. I chose this one because I wanted the width to accommodate my elbows when lying on my back. The mattress is really light, and easy to inflate using the Pump sack, though I have also invested in a Thermarest, battery operated, tiny air pump, which will do the job while I drink Gin! The mattress is very comfortable, and if you need to adjust, you can just add or take out a bit of air. It deflates really easily, and is easy to pack. My stuff sack was missing from the box, but just one e mail brought a replacement the next day. I was really pleased with prompt delivery and great customer service.

Very good product and fast delivery. Thank you facewest!

A very lightweight bottle that is excellent for increasing water capacity when wild camping or bivvying as it takes hardly any space to carry when it's empty. The flexible nature means you can get water from awkward water sources such as on the Cuillin Ridge or in the Alps, places where the ground is predominately rocky. In the past, I have dropped one of these bottles which burst the seam but I have never managed to puncture one. As others have said, they are very difficult to dry out which is why I've taken off a star. The small nozzle, though, which makes it harder to dry is one of the reasons I do go for it as I can fill from trickles and it reduces pack size, so it's a case of compromises.

Good thick cushioning. Robust material. I think it will be durable. Con - doesn't pack down small.

Quick delivery and great price..needed a mesh cap for summer mountain hikes…👌🏻Perfect

Great fit and super comfortable.

Good dry bag. Maybe a little lighter in colour than I was expecting.

Great super fast service from Facewest. Poles are incredibly light and very stiff as you'd expect from carbon. I am 5'10'' and the 120cm fit well.

I have used these in the (snow) field and they’re fab, so much quicker than using cheat sheets! Just bought a set for my boyfriend!

Great Price & speedy delivery. Thanks

Well built lightweight chopping board. It doesn't take up any room in the rucksack. It weighs next to nothing and does its job well. Very easy to clean. It's thoroughly recommended.

These are excellent gloves and my fourth pair of them over six years or so; only one pair has died due to long days on rough rock the others are going strong. I use them in summer and winter. They are just right for cool, wet days. As a member of the Association of Mountaineeing Instructors, I use them regularly for guiding scrambles and they stand up to the rigours of regular forays into the Cuillin. They withstand showers but don't claim to be waterproof (no gloves are for long) so I often carry two pairs with me so I can change halfway through a wet day, which I'm often out in for work. I find them just the right level of warmth most of the time and if my hands start getting cold I wear pair of thin liners underneath. On very cold days I'll opt for a thicker pair of gloves once intensity levels ease. If they are too warm, then I'll usually be fine without any gloves at all. They fit my hand shape well and I find them very dextrous; it's easy to manage ropes and climbing gear while wearing them. The leather palm is particularly helpful for holding ropes and resisting abrasion. The conductive forefinger in this newer model is very welcome for taking photos with a smart phone but I did personally prefer the brighter colours of the previous model.

They are just right for cool, wet days. As a member of the Association of Mountaineeing Instructors, I use them regularly for guiding scrambles and they stand up to the rigours of regular forays into the Cuillin. They withstand showers but don't claim to be waterproof (no gloves are for long) so I often carry two pairs with me so I can change halfway through a wet day, which I'm often out in for work. I find them just the right level of warmth most of the time and if my hands start getting cold I wear pair of thin liners underneath. On very cold days I'll opt for a thicker pair of gloves once intensity levels ease. If they are too warm, then I'll usually be fine without any gloves at all. They fit my hand shape well and I find them very dextrous; it's easy to manage ropes and climbing gear while wearing them. The leather palm is particularly helpful for holding ropes and resisting abrasion.

Over the last ten years Ive used an old ME Citadel (stolen:-( ) an ME Fitroy (too cold) a Rab Photon (a bit of a flimsy outer) and a Berghaus 7000 Extrem (ok but big when packed) and now Im back with another Citadel which is by far the best designed ,warmest and toughest of them all. , Waterproof and windproof along with the EXL stitching in the back which keeps it warmer and better fitting and a really brilliant hood design . Packs pretty small considering the amount of warmth it provides. When the weather gets serious this is THE jacket you want to be able to pull out of your pack. Great service from Facewest on delivery and price

I love this vest! It folds up so small and is so versatile. I take it up the hills and cycling all the time now. It's brilliant for taking the chill off when I sit for a cuppa or when the wind picks up or temperature drops. It's extremely well made and packs down small into it's own pocket. Pocket space is generous and the pirate chest pocket is great for storing compass, phone, munchies etc. Also a fantastic travel vest for trains, planes... when it's folded up it makes a great little neck pillow.

This is a second pair of Rab and they are cracking pair of simple, comfy and durable slippers. Mine have survived tented accommodation in Iraq and Afghanistan over 3 tours and also exercise on Salisbury plain and Canada. Only reason I got the 2nd pair is simply that i wanted a nice shiny new pair for the house.

Love it. Comfort whilst camping !

Great quality and material. Fast delivery.

Just the ticket, expensive but like most things in life you get what you pay for. Cheap compared to a new watch and it'll probably outlast the watch too. You need the relevant Torx screwdriver as that wasn't included

Early days, but I have just had a week on Pabbay with this new rope. Rock as rough as it gets and heavy showers. It's totally been as I expected- bombproof and sheds water. No sign of any wear or furriness and I had seconds wanging off aplenty. I personally would rather have a rope like this than a super-skinny lighter rope, that is almost certainly going to last less well. Recommended

Beautiful Rab Pull long shirt. I bought the light blue one which is so beautiful. I will recommend to take in consideration that is a bit longer than it looks. Perfect fit as I had a size 12 and probably will buy next one on 10 to get it a bit shorter. Fast delivery :) I will buy from here again. Xx

Very impressed by the service from Facewest. The jacket which warm comfortable and looks great came two days after my order at a price 30% lower than the high street

Very good quality cord! I plan to take some of this to Mongolia, to use with horses on a reasonably big trek, and for camping there. Cord is always useful on these sorts of trips. Good price, and arrived securely in a cardboard box. Thank you!

I gave the item 4 stars because I don't give anything 5 stars. Them extension serves the purpose & is usual Leatherman quality. I probably could have bought an average set of screwdrivers for the price I paid for this? At the end of the day it is what it is & I'm generally happy with the purchase & Facewest as a whole & I'd order from them again.

This jacket without doubt is amazing the best jacket i've ever purchased great value for money looks great and does exactly what you want couldn’t be happier with it.

Purchased for my camping quilt much better for packing down than compression sack. Get quilt really small and keeps it dry. Bag is waterproof, thin and lite but very strong and well made.

I use two pillows, cheepo on bottom and this on top, really comfortable, easy to inflate, easy to store, 1 criticism, no strap to attach which my cheepo amazon version does have, its easy to address though as pillow case separate. I stitched a band of elasticated strap to the case to form a strap, now both pillows sit nicely with no movement, may be thermarest should consider this. Very comfy though better than sea to summit and treckology for comfort

I moved up from a classic thermarest self inflating mat. Day and night, coupled with a theremarest 20c quilt i was pleasantly amazed. They just work, wild camp just bellow skafell,sleet and snow sub freezing weather, toasty warm, im a 16stone side sleeper and amazing comfort, noisey matt, my arse! Slight crinkle, sheep munching grass outside was louder, if its in ur budget buy it for year round use, i payed via 3 month pay pal to spread cost

Comfortable, warm and a great fit. I’m 6 foot tall and 13 stone. Brought a size large which is perfect for me. Lightweight, and you don’t feel like you have it on. Definitely looking for one for my wife now as we both have Arcteryx jackets already and are looking to add to that.

my wife recommended this to me, shes had hers for 25 years and uses it for wild camping in Scotland. Works brilliantly but the secret is always store it unrolled and with air plug out when not in use ' then it will last years ' do not store rolled up. We do not find this mat too heavy or bulky to carry around in our back packs on long walks and over mountains. Because they are foam they give good support and insulation from the cold. I tried the air only ones, that did not give enough support and it was freezing ' I totally recommend this mat it is fantastic! I use it for my job as a carer when I do sleepovers too as it supports my bad back really well. So now I am totally equipped to get out there and see the beautiful Creation!

Great price and very pleased with the item.

Great jacket, warm and comfy with lovely big pockets. Excellent service from Facewest.

As always excellent service from Facewest, best in the business!

Fast and friendly service,Can’t be faulted Thank you Facewest

I am delighted with this jacket. It is very lightweight and can be worn as an outer layer, base layer and is water repellent. I do own a Gamma SL that I purchased from Facewest many years ago, and this is quite different and in my opinion and for my own requirement, more versatile. It can be packed down very small. One design feature that would have been beneficial is a packable pocket.

Extremely comfortable, good quality, very nice looking. Absolutely perfect hut slippers. I'm wearing them now.

used the kit for a punctured exped winter down 9 and very pleased with the result. watched video on you tube followed steps. very easy.

These are like trainers with the same sort of grip as full on approach shoes like the Crux. Very light. I don't feel rough ground through the soles. Great shoes for walking around that can handle terrain that requires grip. The price and delivery from Facewest was really good.

This light may perform well, but I am seriously disappointed to find that it uses AAA cells. Almost all AAA cells, whether alkaline or rechargeable, cost the same as AA cells but offer 1/3 the capacity. AA rechargeables will give three times the duration on a charge.

Good service. Good delivery time. Even the cost of delivery it is still less than the standard purchase cost elsewhere. Great bit of kit.

a good quality instrument. Instant response. Satisfied

A lovely piece of kit. I've had a couple of cheaper map cases which split along the seams and leaked after a few uses. These Ortlieb cases are in a different league. Mine is still going strong after seven years - I bought this as a gift for a friend.

Excellent lightweight windproof jacket. Comfortable and practical, I have used it for walking and cycling (bright orange colour is great) Pockets will take a standard OS map - very useful.

Very comfy and easy it inflates itself pretty much. A great purchase!

Longer and more generous fit vs Arcteryx Beta AR (both size S/10). Very sturdy feeling. A little heavier and noisier than the Arcteryx, but perhaps expected, being they are at different price points. Hard choice, but decided to return the Muztag. FaceWest were faultless - extremely fast delivery and return processed very quickly too.

Fast and efficient delivery of the item, thank you. I have had a Thermarest Seat for many years which has been repaired too many times so this was a replacement so that the original can be retired. I didn’t bother checking the dimensions, but the new seat is slightly bigger (a couple of inches wider and longer) than the old one. Not a problem and means that there is more room to sit down. Nice touch is that the new version has a tie and clip so that it can be rolled and easily stored in a rucksack.

Epic, super well designed. Rugged and well made. Hopefully it'll last many years like other Patagonia jackets.

Bought as a gift,so the free engraving is a terrific idea. The leatherman is as expected, a brilliant bit of kit for everyday use. Best of all is the Facewest customer service. Always exceptional, and my first choice before I look anywhere else.

Having owned a Canada goose expedition parka and a Musto ventile one, this is definitely up there with them. The Canada goose and Musto both rely on heavy duty Velcro on the front storm flap, the military themed buttons are so much better in my own opinion. With goretex you know exactly what you are getting waterproof wise. The fit is great, a large expedition parks drowns you, this is spot on. One minor criticism would be that the hand warmer pockets don’t go inside the insulation, that’s about it to be honest.

Absolutely brilliant piece of clothing. Really comfy and great fit. They're like a second skin. So good that after two weeks I've ordered another pair !!

Ordered these pants as they had all the features I was looking for. However they were FAR too long. The inseam length given in the description was correct for me, but the actual pants were much longer than that. A real shame as liked them. They seemed very well made. Very stiff material at the bottom end of the legs, and rather noisy fabric!

Wonderful cord. Exactly what I edged to finish off my project. Bought thicker cord previously but that did not suit. Will use it for other projects. Very happy.

A must have bit of equipment for the enthusiastic outdoor person or just to stay warm and dry while out and about. Have previously used these in the cold wet winters of both Germany and Bosnia and these are absolutely brilliant.

Great for walking and wild camping in the UK hills. I have always used purification tablets but this filter is more convenient and the water taste is much better. The small bottle size means I have to refill regularly as I pass streams but it reduces the weight I am carrying. At camp the filter connects to my 3 litre Hydrapak collapsible bottle. Very happy with it.

The delivery service from FW was very prompt, received within 3 days of ordering. The product itself is in very good condition although it was the last piece, thought it would have been used/returned item but didn’t look like, the shoes itself is very snugg, I got it In my size of 8.5 and it was just right, the fitting is more like a football boot.. I actually got it for cycling and casual walking, so I am very happy with it after having used it a couple of times already...would definitely recommend it.!!!

With the return of outdoor life and concerts on the horizon I started looking around at inflatable seating particularly because some of the rescheduled outdoor events are noting that no chairs are going to be allowed. I stumbled across the Thermarest lite seat and facewest via Dr. Google and thought that I'd give the seat pad a shot as I already have the Thermarest sleep mat and am very impressive with that. The order and delivery process by facewest was excellent and it arrived promptly & well packaged through the standard post option. I've not had time to give the seat pad a thorough test but trying it out in the garden (lawn) and various outdoor terrains, park benches etc. I was so impressed that I've ordered another for my wife who finds sitting on any hard surface for more than a few minutes extremely uncomfortable. The deflated package rolls down very small and it is extremely lightweight so could be easily carried whenever you're venturing anywhere when there is no seating or where seating is very hard, cold or wet.

Brilliant bit of kit at a great price

The only choice for a 2 year old child. Great helmet for riding on a bike or rock climbing. And stickers included makes it personal too.

Excellent, soft, comfortable, lightweight fleece, My main criticism it could be about 2 inches longer but would highly recommend as a basic fundamental bit of kit.

It’s a light clamp!! Good quality.. does what it should! Expensive if you need a few bit worth not having the hassle of moving the clamp!

Great as always from arc'teryx I'm a 36" wast so L was my choice but as other reviews have said the is no give in the waist size. So if bigger waist size XL is a must.

Another good product from Rab. Service was great highly recommend

Great tool at a great price. Speedy delivery, well packaged. The Surge has everything you need. I like the ability to change blades and screwdriver bits. Being able to use standard jigsaw blades is also a great benefit.

Wonderful jacket. Ultra light, very warm.

Brought for my partner for his birthday it's exactually what he asked for and wanted. Great quality.

Although my purchase was after the ice/snow had melted I have nevertheless fitted them to my boots as a trial and my size 11 fitted the large size snugly and more importantly firmly. I am sure that next winter they will give me a positive and sure grip. and much better than other ice grips I have tried.

Comfy, grippy good so far. Really quick delivery at a competitive price. 4 stars until the lacing system proves durable.

Useful tool when teaching

Excellent Beanie - great quality, price and service.

Absolutely brilliant gloves. Light and warm and perfect for running on cold mornings. Great quality and good price. I would recommend these to anyone.

Purchased for 5’ 10” Scottish hillwalker. Excellent rugged jacket. Good standard fit; enough space for layers, but not baggy; length covers bottom at back. Sleeves great for wearing gauntlet glove inside or outside. Stretch fabric in sleeves make it extremely comfortable to use with axe, poles and on bike. Colours are highly visible, but nice with it. Hood comfortable and effective; fits well without helmet.

A nice well made jacket, with the convenience of having five pockets. However, the internal pocket has no zip to secure the contents and external pockets are not large enough to take an OS map. The internal pocket can take an OS map. Unfortunately I have not been able to put it to use as I had to return both the medium and small jackets I purchased. With a BMI of just 21.4 I can't be called obese, I'm 1.75m tall and broad chested from doing a lot of canoeing. Unfortunately the medium was too long and the small too tight around the hips and shoulders. The fixed hood could do with some way of holding it down when not in use, so it doesn't flap around.

Quick service (including engraving), very professional = happy customer

Bought this for walking. Warm, windproof, waterproof and lightweight - exactly what I wanted. I chose this jacket as just a bit longer than others. Delivery was free and fast. Would definitely purchase from Facewest again.

My old petzl zoom has a new life band fitted ideal for going up into loft saved from the tip.

Great shirt fits very well. I bought a size medium, navy blue. I'm approximately 6ft 40"-41" chest. Good quality material, quite heavy cotton flannel material, washes well. Only complaint is It is made in China! Hence only 3 stars.

Best price I could find online also free engraving and sharpening Stone. Tool itself is very solid as you expect from Leatherman. First time i used Facewest and I'm really happy - easy ordering, fast and free delivery with updates. Definitely will use again

Have been loving this jacket so far, though haven't taken it on particularly long hikes yet. I love that it has ample pockets (all three), good zips, and 3L technology without being excessively noisy. I would've preferred a less fitted cut on it though, as it doesn't always accommodate my second layer, which is necessary when it's cold and windy, since the jacket doesn't provide much warmth. I also found the hood doesn't always secure well when I fasten it, but maybe this will just take some getting used to. Overall I'm very satisfied with the jacket, and love wearing it.

I had it shipped to France and it arrived pretty quicly too, so am also pleased with the Facewest service.

Love this trail shoe, with my wide foot it gives adequate space fire forefoot to spread but maintains excellent arch support. Excellent value for money

Swift response; fast delivery; Genuine Suunto replacements.Service just as good as 2008 when I bought my "Suunto Advizor" from facewest via the net

Really pleased with this jacket 😍 Usually order a size up with rab but after reading reviews I stuck to my size and so pleased I did. Roomy enough for a couple of layers underneath. Love it

A big investment, sure. But coming from someone who has had several ‘waterproof’ garments before, one 5 mile hike in the pouring rain has easily convinced me this is by far the best of them. This will be my go-to outer shell when I hit the wild camping trail post lockdown.

Good all round jacket; well made with solid seams. Well-proportioned with good level of space to accommodate extra layers or indeed a pear shape. Despite extra layers, it retained good levels of breathability. Whilst I hood is a on the large size - it will easily accommodate a cycling helmet - it is adjustable. And the ruby is as glorious shade of red as a person could desire. As a bonus, Facewest had the best price, and very prompt delivery; next day was genuinely next day. Very impressed.

So far so good. Dry as a bone after an 8 mile walk up Ennerdale valley, with full on Cumbrian weather.

I purchased this coat for my son, he’s really pleased with the coat it’s light weight, warm and fits perfectly! Would definitely recommend and quick delivery! Happy customer

This is a great jacket, expensive but you get what you pay for with it. Face west price was amazing, the jacket arrived within 24 hours. I will definitely be using Facewest again.

Leatherman quality never in doubt. My first purchase from Facewest. It won't be my last. Service and delivery, first class.

I purchased this jacket after a call to the Facewest staff. This jacket is remarkable, it is very light weight but also incredibly warm. This is very good value for money and can used for all occasions.

Absolute bombproof jacket, deliberated long and hard over the purchase but at £375 from a RRP of £500, a bargain. An extremely well made and a well thought out design, large areas of the jacket with no seams and where they are necessary limited to improve breathability and risk of water ingress. Gor-tex pro seems really robustness, although everyone knows you're around with the constant rustling of the fabric. Previously had a Montane Polartec neoshell jacket which was great although fabric eventually started to wear quite badly from the use of rucksacks and harness - I don't see this being a problem with such a heavy 80 denier three layer fabric. Plenty of pocket space and really like the internal drawcord system and hood for the worst of gnarly weather conditions. A long term investment that will serve you well for sure!

This drysack is great for compressing clothing etc. I put my North face jacket in here and it compressed down to a tiny ball. The air purge function helps get this drysack as small as possible. I would highly recommend!

Great mountaineering backpack... Very comfortable and light... Best production quality... Highly recommended

Fast delivery. Had mine engraved too.

Great little piece of kit. Well made and highly reliable. Sold by Facewest at a very fair price

Good quality coat and very warm. Sizing is pretty good, not sure why other reviewers say it comes up very large. My height is - 6ft Weight - 90kg Build type - athletic And the medium fits me well, I could have gone for the large but I preferred the slimmer profile the medium had, plus it still had room for a hoodie or a jumper underneath too but fits very well with just a t shirt. Depends on fit preference and layering you require. Only negatives are that it's a bit of a dust magnet and the colour isn't black, it's more of a slate grey.

I have owned the three versions of the wave and have never been disappointed. The free doesn’t disappoint either!. Fundamentally the same but totally different in the same sentence. I still have the wave and for certain conditions (if I know I will need the driver exchanger)will carry it but on the whole my new EDC at work will be the “Free”

I purchased Microspikes, size M several years ago, which were spot on. As a result, I ordered size M a few weeks ago, which turned out to be tighter than the originals. Accordingly, I ordered a size L, which are perfect. I have passed on the recent size M to my wife, so nothing lost. I have no problem about the quality, but perhaps a little more warning about the size of the recent models compared with earlier models would be helpful.

Fits true to size. Very warm jacket for its weigh.

I have had one of these hats for years and bought this one for my wife . Good value , well made winter hat . Used mine for winter golf . Keeps my bald head warm and dry . Recommend it.

Really happy with the hat, delivered in good time at good price.

Very pleased with this purchase. Its the 3rd patagonia jumper that I bought for my husband in our 28 years of marriage. He Loves it. This one is light weight and just as warm as the heavy weight. They last forever looking as new if you keep away from fire. (cigarette lighters.. 😏

Got these at the end of icy spell where I'd used yaktrax most days on Kinder. These are loads better, you can pretty much forget to look where you're going and just walk and enjoy the scenery; they grip well even on sloping sheet ice and unlike traditional yaktrax you don't have to check if they're still on your boot every 10 minutes, and unlike crampons they're light enough to chuck in the rucksack on the days where you think you might need spikes just in case.

Fabulous Jacket which is so comfortably light and warm to wear. Lovely quality too. I bought the lovely vibrant Red and it is true to size. I am a size 10 and a 10 fits perfectly.

Super quality item with 25 year warranty! Great price and service from Facewest too!

The A4 size is just what I needed to contain PC printouts of sections of a map. The double-sided case allows the map to be viewed from one side and any printed guidance notes from the other. Velcro closure looks pretty waterproof but I haven't yet had a really rainy day to test it properly. The neck string is adequate though for the price I thought a lanyard with clips could have been provided.

Been used in snow and severe ice and they were great. Dependable and strong. They are designed to last, not like many others on the market.

Excellent fit and prompt delivery, thank you!

A great addition of outdoor/casual wear. Have worn this fleece while out and about (tshirt underneath) and been fine temperature-wise. Have also worn it as a mid-layer under a waterproof coat and was very toasty! Large fits well for me (6”4 tall, slim-ish build)

Great service from Facewest, simple ordering process and very fast delivery. The item itself is a substantial piece of kit and looks like it will provide years of service. Only one small issue, the sissors return spring does not function that well and blades do not self open you have to manually open after each part of the cut so not very useful, very sharp though

Awesome mountaineering gloves.

Awesome mountaineering gloves.

I had the first generation when I started winter walking and climbing in Scotland.

Over the past 7-8 year I've used varies brands and I can honestly say none of them come close to the SV.

Winters can be very windy, wet and cold. The climbing is generally hard mixed which can involve a lot of grovelling. What ever you choose to wear over your base layers, mid layers has to offer room to manoeuvre, be very durable and be able to keep the wind out. Let's not forget while moving, it want to keep you cool.

This jacket and the the bibs are my No1 choice, they do everything and more. You can't put a price or something you love so much. This jacket makes my sport so much more enjoyable.

Ordered this Jacket for my husband, couldn’t believe how quickly it arrived. The jacket it’s self is perfect for winter conditions he hasn’t stopped going on about how good it is when out climbing very good price also, couldn’t recommend more the quality is second to none.

Also so far only tested in the garden along with an MLD Trailstar, MLD inner nest and 3 season sleeping bag. Worked well in above zero temperatures to protect from a very cold (and outside the nylon base of the inner tent very wet) ground. Certainly comfortable enough to sleep on. The inflation device is fiddly in the cramped space of the half Trailstar inner, and I'm not sure how well it avoids moisture. Shorter and wider would have seemed better. It did inflate well with a couple of goes. The mat packs away quickly and easily which is great.

I wanted a jacket for light exercise, such as running and cycling locally. This jacket is great for what I need it for. It's advertised a a windcheater and that's what it does. Fit and length is good - I'm around 6'3"and and XL fits me fine.

Only had the jacket for a few weeks but I've used it a fair amount already.

So far I'm really impressed, I've took it winter climbing and it felt robust enough and kept off the wind well. I also didn't feel like I was lacking pockets, which surprised me.

I've since took it walking in light downpours and it has held up well. I've also used it multipitch rock climbing multiple times. Again the fit it perfect for climbing and sitting under a harness. I've also found it is holding up well with abrasion from Rock.

Really pleased with the product. I was dubious before buying however I am very happy with the product. You really can feel and see the quality.

Love it. Not cheap, but you can tell it's quality and I have no problem carrying it all day. Good prompt service as well.

Bought recently from Facewest as a replacement for an older Changabang jacket that had given great service on walking, ski touring and mountaineering trips over many years. The Changabang is an excellent mountain jacket that provides complete protection in all weathers. A nice update is the ski pass pocket in the left forearm which for me will avoid a bit or ducking and diving at the occasional ski-lift gate. A truly excellent jacket that I can thoroughly recommend. Also great service and price from Facewest.

Quick delivery. Very compact and light sleeping mat which is also very comfortable and thick when inflated. Yes it is more expensive than the cheaper options but you buy cheap you buy twice.

Purchased this Coat for my dog walks in all weathers. Really pleased its ideal. The fit is spot on in a Medium and fully waterproof. Needs layering underneath for full warmth barrier. Highly recommended.

Bought these for seasonal storage of G3 Alpinist+ skins. Work very well. Store in less than 10c if possible to stop glue issues.

Haven't had a chance to try it in the brisk late winter yet, but it's super compact in s comfortably sized stuff sack, really warm and comfortable, if a little crinkly, even in large. I highly recommend Facewest for value and service.

I thought it was time to upgrade my skins, I opted for these BD Glidelite skin. have been out twice on my skis and I am very impressed with how much glide the skin have much better than old G4

Lovely gilet, super light but really warm and great under a bigger coat or stand-alone. Good price and great service from Facewest.

First...the service from facewest is second to none.

This hoody is very light and thin on first inspection. However it is very warm. I wore it inside at first and had to take it off, too warm. The sizing is accurate. I wore it during this recent cold snap under a shell and it was excellent at keeping me warm without the buildup of sweat I have had from other garments. I would have no hesitation in recommending the R1.

Great jacket! I had been wanting one of these for awhile and decided to treat myself and was glad it was here quickly after placing my order

Bought these for my husband. The recent heavy snow fall has certainly given him a chance to try them out and he says he is very impressed. He would definitely recommend them.

This is superb product. Facewest had the cheapest price on the internet by far. It is a very light jacket, kind of like a plastic bag but don't be fooled about how amazingly useful it is. I was on top of a mountain with the wind howling. It was cutting through my soft-shell, fleece and merino base-layer. The second i put on this little jacket the wind feeling disappeared. I became toasty warm in my mid-layers. It is tiny and lightweight and can go everywhere with you are it takes up less room than a can of soft drink and weighs only 125g. Now it is important to note that it is tight fitting and does not give much elasticity in the material to stretch, so if between sizes then order up.

It is a wind jacket only and not waterproof. You will need a waterproof with it and that is why it is good that the Vital does not have a hood of its own, you don't need two hoods for rain. However it is reasonably water repellent. I wore it for 45 minutes in a downpour and it did not leak.

Finally, it looks nice. Several people have asked me where I got it just when they have seen me wearing it. It has a nice cut and the log is subtle yet clear. Whether summer over a t-shirt or winter over several mid-layers this will be my go-to wind protector and will go on everywhere with me.

I've worn these occasionally for a year or so now and for the most part, they're pretty good. The wind-proofing works and with a little difficulty, the mitten part can be removed (or replaced) from the fingers for cooling or if dexterity is required. For me, the mitt loses a star for the circle of velcro on the reverse which holds the mitten "flap" out of the way when not in place over the fingers. On both hands, at least one of the velcro (hook and/or fuzz) has come away, having been sewn on insufficiently in both cases. More thought here about some integral fastening would have benefitted these gloves significantly. Theoretically I "could" sew the velcro back on but it's one of those jobs I haven't got around to yet and quite frankly, it's not something you'd expect to have to do with a garment from Rab, especially when it's been so infrequently worn (and never laundered, I should add). Apart from my annoyance at the above, they're worth having!

I concur totally with a previous reviewer (Iain) in that on receipt, this sleeveless vest doesn't appear to have any weight to it and thus warmth... ...and yet, as he found, it's surprisingly warm, windproof and breathable. Most importantly from my perspective and the weather in Northern England, it won't ever "wet-out! I find Arcteryx fits my bodyshape well in addition to being worth paying their brand premium, which is why I took the risk on this one. No regrets then! I'd probably have preferred the blue version, but black was the only colour left - which - to be fair, goes best with most other clothing. I find most benefit wearing this under my main jacket on cold, windy days. I seldom get too warm in it as I find it breathes nicely and the zip, whilst being the opposite way around to most male clothing, is smooth-running and very useful indeed, to further regulate temperature. It's worth mentioning that it wouldn't be out of place to wear socially, whether over a casual shirt or polo. Finally, I'm a size 38 chest, 30" waist and 5'7" tall and the small fits me perfectly.

Fantastic jacket, great value and delivered very quickly. I had looked at a number of jackets from most of the well-known brands but having a slightly fuller figure! The Slim fit nature of these didn’t really suit me, the Mountain equipment jacket Isn’t huge but it’s cut in a more regular manner which means for someone such as myself it fits an lot better. The jacket itself is well thought out, great to have a detachable hood and also having wrists with Velcro fastening straps he’s great.

I purchased this jacket over the new year break and it was delivered straight after, great service. I hadn't owned a jacket like this before, I have seen lots of people wearing these type of jackets, I thought they must be good. I can not praise the jacket enough, it is extremely warm and waterproof and needs a minimal of layers below otherwise you would overheat. My first purchase from facewest I would defiantly use again.

This is my fourth Leatherman and I would go as far to say the best for EDC, great product. Excellent service from Facewest and quick delivery!

Slightly thicker and warmer than my previous TNF gilet but packs down small enough to have in a bag just in case. The higher neck zips up to increase the barrier against cold and the trim under the armpit gives a comfortable close fit. It's easily washed too. The medium size on a 40in chest is about right to fit over a thin fleece. Choice of other than black would have been nice.

Present for the son absolutely delighted with it ideal purchase for him loves going fishing with his son.

I spent quite a lot of time researching what jacket to buy given the price point. The jacket had brilliant reviews in the walking magazines and had pretty much sold out everywhere which was a good indication of how good it was I thought. I have been out walking in the Yorkshire Dales where I live in it for the past couple of months, through the winter in all kinds of conditions. Its handled torrential horizontal rain, blizzard snow and freezing fog and mist all as if it was nothing. The Lhotse is absolutely bombproof , the build quality as you would expect at this price is outstanding , the pocket zips and hood adjustment all brilliant, although its not been warm enough to use the pit zips yet. It was the first time I have bought from Facewest and received excellent customer service, will definitely buy from them again. Absolutely delighted with my purchase.

Excellent service and cost. Very happy by all accounts.

Excellent jacket, very pleased all round. The cosmos is a nice dark blue colour, outer fabric seems strong and the waterproofing is excellent, water beads and runs straight off. Having 4 pockets is very useful allowing for gloves, phone, keys etc accessible whilst wearing rucksack. The snow skirt has also been useful recently when I've been out mountain skiing. Sizing is quite generous, I'm 5'10 and usually an L in jackets but comfortably wore a medium with this jacket with space for multiple layers underneath. Great pricing and service, arrived within 2 days as described. Returned one item for a different size no problem which also arrived very quickly.

Highly versatile pack, many strap options , says 20L but is a bit of a tardis especially when you’ve got the options of strapping kit to the outside. Bought this for mountain biking . Would highly recommend

I'm not a fan of writing reviews, particularly as as lifelong student of environmental economics. Two principles here: Increasing demand for products reduces supply and pushes up prices. Driving consumption has an impact on the planet and adverse resource consumption. Having said that. I absolutely love these cords and if you've read this far and not put off by my eco-ramblings, then I recommend them without hesitation. Just purchased my second pair in denim, I've got a pair from an earlier season in Wren colour, which I love (now discontinued, sadly - not all progress is good). Fit on these (for me) is great. The cut and comfort amazing, and they are super light. I've hiked and climbed in these, and trying to find another pair in grey. But they are like hens teeth. Back to my early comments on supply and demand. Please don't buy these cords. There are others out there that will want and love them more.

Excellent product. Not fancy, but well made and smart on simple but useful things... like the internal tensioning strap very deep pockets and ultra strong Velcro strapping. Keeps me very warm and dry... certainly wind proof. Don’t wear next to the skin, but with a thin base layer and it works very well.

Great product for ski touring. Basically a puffer jacket for your legs. Full length zips at either side allow then to be easily removed if too warm. Was concerned they would be too tight but fit great with enough room for good range of motion. Quick distribution and good selection from FaceWest.

Simple 2m long webbing straps with hook alloy buckles. Great for strapping stuff down.. skis, axes, mats etc 😊👍

Used them 3 times for track skiing and a couple of times to keep me upright on icy walks. Excellent grip mechanism. The poles are sturdy and the locking system works well.

My favourite new jumper! Great fit, looks good as well.

I have both the footprint and denim cords and they are fantastic. Fit well, stretch and feel comfortable (im 34-35” waist) so went for the XL (36”). Only downside is that they come with 32” leg length so not for anyone over 6ft but with walking boots, not an issue. Having base layer ‘leggings’ are no issue underneath either.

Top quality piece of kit at a reasonable price. Perfect for my needs.

These are great for storage and looking after the glue on your skins, however using them on the hill I find unless you are fairly quick on folding, the skin detaches from the sheet compared to my K2 original. Could be a problem on that windswept col...

Bought this to supplement R value of my inflatable mat and in case of leaks brilliant product at a great price and fast turnaround and delivery what more can you ask for as a customer

Having had my Mountain Equipment Lhotse for a good few years it was time for an upgrade so I started researching jackets. I have always liked the look and reputation of Arc’teryx, but two things have always put me off. First was the price and second was the cut. I like jackets cut on the long side yet Arc’teryx seem to be cut very short. To make matters worse, I am longer in the body then I am the leg so most of their jackets would come up extra short on me. It was only when going through the range that I realised that their Beta SV jacket is cut significantly longer because it is aimed at hiking rather than climbing and the added length also gives extra severe weather protection. I justified the price by looking at it as a 5-10 year jacket and placed the order. I have to say I am pleased I did. Both the ME Lhotse and the Beta SV are made of Gore-Tex Pro, but there is a significant difference in terms of quality and finish. The Beta SV is significantly more breathable than the Lhotse despite being entirely made of 70D fabric. When it arrived I went for a quick walk. I had a t-shirt on with a cotton shirt over the top under the SV. It was 2 degrees outside and I felt chilly despite a brisk pace which was a very good sign because I knew I would have bags of wiggle room when layered properly. Since then I have been on several long walks in rain, wind and snow and the jacket has performed exceptionally well. The SV hem sits exactly where I want it to by default yet I can still pull it down another inch or two if need be. Very happy with my purchase and I am very confident it will be the last technical jacket I buy for a very long time.

Having had my Mountain Equipment Lhotse for a good few years it was time for an upgrade so I started researching jackets. I have always liked the look and reputation of Arc'teryx, but two things have always put me off. First was the price and second was the cut. I like jackets cut on the long side yet Arc'teryx seem to be cut very short. To make matters worse, I am longer in the body then I am the leg so most of their jackets would come up extra short on me. It was only when going through the range that I realised that their Beta SV jacket is cut significantly longer because it is aimed at hiking rather than climbing and the added length also gives extra severe weather protection. I justified the price by looking at it as a 5-10 year jacket and placed the order. I have to say I am pleased I did. Both the ME Lhotse and the Beta SV are made of Gore-Tex Pro, but there is a significant difference in terms of quality and finish. The Beta SV is significantly more breathable than the Lhotse despite being entirely made of 70D fabric. When it arrived I went for a quick walk.

Arrived quickly and pretty much as described, very warm. Not convinced it was worth the price, if you care about having a little extra style in the design this is not the jacket for you, it is not the fitted shape indicated by the sales images . However if you just want to be protected from the cold and rain I’d recommend it.

Definitely the warmest mitts that I have ever used. Obviously somewhat bulky to contain the insulation material, but I have been able to use them for mountain biking. All the website information is accurate and well-presented, with fast delivery service.

Excellent. I would put them on before the boots next time.

This is one of the very first mountain caps, if not the original, and it's been about for decades because it's brilliant. However, with Lowe now looking to become a packs-only outfit it looks like it might go, though the wired peak is different from most alternatives and from my point of view better: it'll stay how you put it and still folds away easily to stow in a pocket.

I did lose one to (very strong) wind so its replacement uses the loops to mount a chinstrap if it's going to be stupidly windy.

It's really only for winter, but is excellent when a beanie isn't enough and means you can go without a hood until it gets really horrible (though it works really well under a hood too. Supplement with a buff or light balaclava and you're set up for snug without the "shut-in" feeling of a storm hood.

Best base layer ever worn . So comfortable, stylish and warm . I live in this top . Hardly ever take it of as it’s a skin and so nice . Brought another so in winter always got one on.

I’ve been buying these Rab power stretch pants for a number of years now and I love them and wear them indoors and outdoors throughout the winter. You don’t need to be a massive “out doorsy type” just someone who like to stay warm and dry. I always wash them buy hand and spin them on a gentle spin, they dry in no time. I’ve recommended them to friends and family and they have all been happy with their purchase. Well worth the money.

Excellent jacket, haven’t yet been cold wearing it even in snow and hard frosty mornings. Generously sized (I am 12/14 and bought a 14 but 12 may have been better - decided to keep it anyway.) Love almost everything about it, but it’s quite noisy, ie the arms rustle when walking.

Excellent quality as always with Patagonia brand. Useful organiser when travelling. Spacious and comfortably fits T-shirt’s, shorts etc., for a weekend of travel and can be used as a stand-alone handheld bag, or used within a larger hold-all. Recommended.

Bought for just in case use not used yet. Wife has a pair so pretty sure I will be happy with them. Price competitive especially considering they were posted as well. Delivered really quickly. No negative issues. Just have to remember to check their web site when I am looking for walking and hill gear.

Fit on small size but very cosy for winter conditions.

I have owned this for about 4 weeks and worn most days for local walks in weather ranging from bitingly cold (for the UK!) to chilly. The current situation has stopped the planned longer hikes. This is an excellent jacket. Much lighter than I had expected but so warm and comfortable. I have only worn one long-sleeve layer underneath and never been cold, certainly with the hood tightened to act as a scarf. In the large size, the sleeve and jacket length are great for me (6'0" tall).
