Reviews

As I have valued advice from other blogs and forums, I'm planning to publish some reviews on kit, equipment, clothing, nutrition, retail outlets etc.

With each one I will give an honest appraisal but I must stress it's just my view but please leave me a comment if you agree or disagree.  Others might form different opinions based on their own experience and that's fine.

If you would like me to review a product, please contact me via ramblingsofdoug@gmail.com

Most of the reviews below have been carried out by either through a product I have bought myself or being approached by the company or reviewing a product following the receipt of a free sample. Occasionally I will have received a fee and will make this clear in the review.
