Trek Scotland Review - Six Moon Designs Silver Shadow Umbrella

Posted by Trek Scotland on Feb 11, 2019

Every year we get sent through pieces of gear which may not be that common in the UK but are growing in popularity in other countries. The Silver Shadow Umbrella certainly fits this category. We have to say that we have never seen anyone in the high mountain ranges of the UK with an umbrella, and it did make us wonder why not?

Posted by Mark Richardson on Jul 13, 2015

UOG Review - Six Moon Designs Skyscape Trekker

I used the Skyscape Trekker solo tent in a recent trek to Peru and I really liked it. The big pluses are the generous size of the tent and the minimal weight (614g), inevitably these impressive specs are only achieved with a few compromises - its a trekking pole tent, so if you don't use these anyway this isn't the tent for you, its predominantly single skin, and there's no vestibule to speak of ( …
