Black Diamond Transfer Shovel Review - Trek Scotland
Posted by Trek Scotland on Apr 14, 2022
A snow shovel is an essential piece of kit to have with you
when travel out to not only avalanche prone environments but also any area in
which snow may be present. A shovel comes into use for many situations including
digging a snow shelter, creating a quick seating area for a group, analysing snowpack,
and in the unfortunate situation if an avalanche was to occur and a rescue situat

Big Agnes Lost Ranger Review - Trek Scotland
Posted by Trek Scotland on Apr 14, 2022
“The Lost Ranger 3N1 20° sleeping bag is part of our
latest evolution of the Big Agnes Sleep System. This modular bag design offers
just what you’d expect: three bag configurations in one simple, yet technical
sleep system.”
Combining sleeping bags has long been a choice of ours for a
few reasons, including boosting the warmth of an older bag extending its use,
or combining separat

Haglofs Mid Touring Jacket Review - Trek Scotland
Posted by Trek Scotland on Apr 14, 2022
The Haglofs Mid Touring jacket is a technical piece of
clothing aimed for use in the colder months, working as either a mid-layer or a
stand-alone outer layer for calmer days.
In terms of stylings the
Mid touring jacket certainly stands
out, with us receiving a colour mix of blue and green, clearly highlighting the
two separate forms of insulation used. There’s no denying this is a

with the

Trek Scotland Review - Mammut Kento HS
Posted by Trek Scotland on Sep 20, 2021
The Mammut Kento HS claims to be a hard-shell jacket that is ready for changing conditions in the mountains. Weighing in at 452 grams in a size medium this can be considered a mid to lightweight jacket. It packs down small so made for an easy addition to our kit for days when the weather could not quite make its mind up.
Trek Scotland Review - Rab Infinity Jacket
Posted by Trek Scotland on Dec 14, 2020
The Rab Infinity jacket is around the largest and heaviest jacket we would look to pack within our kit, able to combat the coldest temperatures you will most likely face in the UK. Containing a substantial 250 grams of 800FP R.D.S Certified European Goose Down, with a total weight of 730 grams (size medium), this amounts to a big jacket to be relied on in the harshest conditions providing instant

Trek Scotland Review - Thermarest NeoAir Uberlite Sleeping Mat
Posted by Trek Scotland on Dec 07, 2020
The Uberlite weighs a highly impressive 240g, not including its storage bag, and packs down to an absolutely ridiculous 9 x 15cm… not much bigger than a can of soft drink! If you are investing in this mat it is unlikely you would carry the weight of an additional inflation system and once released from its storage bag it can be quickly blown up with around 20 breaths, through the highly reliable s

Trek Scotland Review - Rab Muztag Gaiter
Posted by Trek Scotland on Nov 23, 2020
Gaiters are an item of outdoor kit that easily divide opinion. Personally, we don’t tend to use gaiters in the warmer months apart from if travelling along particularly deep boggy routes in which we know many hours will be spent in this environment. Winter on the other hand is where a pair of gaiters becomes invaluable, keeping snow and ice from entering your boots and importantly acting as an ext

Trek Scotland Review - OR Stargazer Bivy
Posted by Trek Scotland on Nov 16, 2020
A bivy adventure for us is all about feeling connected to the environment you wish to lay in. Tents are great and offer a lot of comfort and safety, but once you close the doors you miss that immersive experience with what’s going on outside. Bivying also avoids many of the issues surrounding pitching a tent for example, due to unsuitable ground or finding a large enough area, especially whilst ou
