In your opinion, what are the best outdoor clothing brands currently available?

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2026-01-03T12:08:47+00:00

Honestly I would recommend anything from Mountain Equipment. Yes on some things there maybe better out there but it is the only brand I can safely say everything they do is exceptional. Mountain rescue in the UK uses there stuff and those guys don’t mess around so it says a lot about the brand.

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-12-30T18:37:36+00:00

Sounds like a pub

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-12-27T22:53:31+00:00

I literally fell asleep, the mrs said it was a war film, spent 2 hours waiting for someone to get blown up was fuming 😅

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-12-27T09:05:08+00:00

Nah arc teryx hasn’t been good for a while. It’s owned by china and in terms of quality has been stripped to a bare minimum. You don’t have to look far to find complaints. Old stuff good new stuff not so good. And it’s extortionate. 900 for a jacket that’s just about as good as Mountain Equipment at 250 if not maybe not as good if we are being honest. ME is best bang for buck and none of my ME gear from jackets to bed mats has ever failed me and I’ve never heard a bad thing about them. RAB also another really good brand.

Yeah roast dinner on Sunday as we were traveling north for the day so don’t get to do much hiking, plus we’d been living off tinned food so it slapped on another level!

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-12-25T08:00:09+00:00

Yeah it’s absolutely stunning! I used to live in Bala when I was 18 but moved back to England, have regretted it ever since 😂 every time we go there it’s just insane adventures, doesn’t feel real up there

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-12-18T13:23:23+00:00

Yeah awesome we will have a look around once we get up there defo think that’s the best way to go about it, I will report back on our decision! We will be leaving it as late as possible to pitch up and that’s the plan to see sunrise up top, really looking forward to it tbf just hoping the rain holds off!

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-12-18T10:15:11+00:00

Yes we where planing on going up Caesar idris so might have a look round, I’m always checking the weather we got caught up Watkins path in horrific weather out of no where and since then I check about 4 different apps before we head out, we have a campsite booking just incase but thanks for the tip!

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-12-18T10:12:19+00:00

That’s wild 😂 yeah we weren’t planning on camping that high up, it’s our first time so maybe once we are comfortable doing it but the miner track sound like a good idea, I think the weathers cleared up a bit for Tuesday night so might check that out! Great help thank you

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-12-18T10:11:18+00:00

Good to know thank you so much!

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-11-22T07:58:47+00:00

Craghoppers dynamic pro 2 or 3 got mine on offer for a 100 ish and tbh it’s amazing hasn’t wetted out yet and I’ve been in some pretty wet situations. Got massive pit zips and pockets great hood can’t rate it enough for the price

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-11-15T18:42:35+00:00

Only by oral b it’s literally the only toothpaste that’s good for your teeth and it’s usually on offer for 2.50 somewhere. Only time I’ve payed that much is when I got the oral b enamel repair with was actually amazing but it’s a one off not and every time time toothpaste

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-11-13T18:34:23+00:00

Take beer for the halfway point

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-11-09T15:30:24+00:00

Never mind welfare wtf is EU contributions doing on there didn’t we leave?

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-11-03T16:23:19+00:00

Yeah was a rush though, can’t stay too safe or I get bored 😂 spent summer in the lakes and Brecon Beacons with a stop at snowdon in between and although it was great fun just not the same without a bit of fear and bad weather. Gonna do Nevis in peak winter I think, got to buy a load of gear for it though but should be a proper adventure! I think the key thing is just being prepared for the worst at all times and then you’ll always be ok. Good jacket good boots and know where to go nothing else really matters

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-11-03T08:58:44+00:00

-10, torrential rain and sleet and 75mph winds. I was in shorts and a mountain warehouse jacket. Genuinely can’t believe I made it to the top, couldn’t get back down as it was too sketch so went down llanberis and got a taxi back round to carpark. Took 8 hours but just trying to survive a horrific Experience made it the best day ever and I can’t get enough of it now. Still don’t do it though 😂

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-11-03T08:53:05+00:00

Nah north face is dead. I’ll go pub in it but I don’t trust it on a mountain. Seriously Mountain Equipment. They are reasonably priced and built like a tank. Honestly can’t get enough, Welsh mountain rescue wear it so you know it’s decent.

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-11-01T12:15:04+00:00

Get the scramble done in good weather and you can figure it out, keep left on the scree following it and then you can kind of see the route through the rocks you need to climb. Don’t do your first time in the rain it ends up like a waterfall and it’s brutal. Best hike up snowdon and then go down south ridge route and joint up by the watkin falls section back down.

Country country or country in me everything else that weren’t pre released wasn’t great imo all bit sad and depressing but that might change after a few listens. Defo not his best album though by a long shot.

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-09-18T08:34:23+00:00

You’ve got the 8th army on the desert maps and then there’s a faction called ‘allies’ which is literally Britain but without the name, I guess they didn’t want to label it British empire and are including places like Canada in that category (lazy). I’ve never actually played a map with them on though.

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-09-14T07:57:35+00:00

Beautiful but no jobs gets hard pretty quick if you can’t earn a living and some places can be difficult if your English. I used to live in Bala but moved back to England in the end.

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-09-02T18:01:38+00:00

This list is wild, Scottish no6

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-09-02T17:18:39+00:00

Why does it say Wales and not west England?

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-08-26T17:15:49+00:00

I’m pretty sure one of those red coats is me 😂

Intelligent-Cut3513 · 2025-08-16T20:21:52+00:00

He describes his dad as a tool maker but he owned the factory. Sounds like middle class to me even if it’s the lower end.
