Sofirn SP40 Headlamp Review

September 25, 2020 by Calvin Jones 1 Comment

Pros: Convenient, lightweight and robust headlight with four very useful brightness levels. 1,200 Lumen "Turbo" mode ludicrously bright.

Pros: Fantastically bright, versatile and compact every-day-carry torch/flashlight that's built to last.

Gear Review: Vanguard Endeavor Bags

September 5, 2017 by Calvin Jones 2 Comments

Pros: Designed with the birder / nature enthusiast in mind. Neutral olive colours and robust, non-rustle fabrics, thoughtful design. Insulated food pocket inspired. With three sizes in the range there's a bag for every occasionCons: Hard to find anything specific to fault here... a couple of spurious features I'd question the usefulness of, but none that would detract from … [Read more...] about Gear Review: Vanguard Endeavor Bags
