Good quality and versatile, very good value.
This is a great piece of kit. Its like a lightweight Montane Extreme smock, but where the Montane uses a substantial Sherpa fleece on the inside this uses a micro fleece. Its quite tight fitting especially around the armpit area. However, there are pit zips and with these at least half open the fit becomes much less restrictive. Since it has a micro fleece lining its a nightmare to wear over a micro fleece shirt as the arms in particular are very difficult to get into the smock arms so its probably best worn over either a synthetic or Merino base layer. In terms of warmth its what you would expect from combining a micro fleece with a windproof shirt i.e. ideal for most spring and autumn days. As for the winter I would definitely wear an insulating vest such as a Montane Prism Vest (I think its around 40gms Sq Metre) underneath it which would then provide enough warmth when moving. I really don't think this is suitable for standing around in the winter unless you wear something like a down vest or possibly a Paramo Torres (around 100gms/ Sq Metre) underneath and then you would definitely need to go up at least a size or possibly two.
In terms of the materials used and quality of construction it is generally very good. As for value for money, well I think you would be hard pushed to get a micro fleece and a wind shirt (jacket) for under £60 and would probably looking at around £100+ from a premium brand.

One of the best backpacking tents on the market regardless of price.
This is a great backpacking tent. Vango/F10 have vast experience of tent design and it shows in this model. The materials throughout are first class, as is the construction.

Excellent on leather, metal and wood.
Apparently this was “invented” around centenary ago for the German Army for use on their rifles (the strange name deriving from the fact that it was primarily a ballistic oil). Basically it is a very versatile oil with a wide range of uses (and I suppose in many ways a very early version of current multi-purpose “oils” such as WD40).
It has a strange name and also a very strange smell, though not an especially strong or offensive odour.
Aside from freeing and lubricating metal parts it is also exceptionally useful on leather.
With leather it acts as both a conditioner and softener. Additionally it waterproofs leather very effectively as it absorbed into the leather rather than just sitting on the surface. Use it sparingly, it seems to be effective immediately, and there is no need to polish/brush off. It also seems to deal with mildew on leather better than any other product I know.
As an additional bonus any metal fitting on hiking boots such as D rings or lace hooks which come into contact with it are also rejuvenated.
It may appear expensive. I initially got the very small 50ml glass bottle to test its effectiveness and I was so impressed that I then got a 500ml bottle.
Not only does this oil lubricate it does not solidify unlike most others. With a typical light oil initially after application there is not a problem, but a week or so later the oil takes on an appearance similar to grease and attracts dirt, this does not.
