And once it’s up, the removable bedrooms, fully opening windows for extra ventilation and dedicated living space make the tent a joy to stay in when you’re out enjoying the great outdoors.

Sure it looks great in the mirror in the changing rooms, but will it keep out rain lashing in sideways on top of Helvellyn? Is it really THAT breathable after 4 hours on the trail? Will the pockets actually hold EVERYTHING I need?

The Eight Berth is the largest in the Hood River family and comes with all the features and perks you can come to expect from a Sprayway family tent. Not only is it easy to erect, with an outer that pitches as a sealed unit, but provides plenty of living AND sleeping space.

It comes with 4 removable bedrooms (each of which comes with a dedicated storage space) and a huge central living area, which can be expanded when any of the bedrooms are taken out. The tent also has a side annex, ideal for keeping bikes or dirty gear out of your living space.

There is no better way to enjoy this British Summer than getting out and camping in the great outdoors, and there is no better way to enjoy camping than in the Hood River 8.

The Hood River is also available in 4 and 6 berth options.

With a good fit and soft handle, they will seem like a great addition to your kit list for the summer. But dig a little deeper and these tee’s really stand head and shoulders above the rest.

Why? They’re made with Cocona yarn, which feels fantastic against your skin and it’s moisture moving properties will keep you comfortable and dry. Not only that but outstanding levels odour adsorption mean even after a full day and night on the hill, your tee will be fresh for the next morning.

Available for both men and women, these groundbreaking tee’s are a must have for whatever you’re doing on or off the hill this season.

“The sleeves were long but again this was great while stretching out on the climb up Tryfan. The cuffs, waist and hood are all adjustable. The jacket was 8-9 years and my mum said it was a good size for the age.”

“The hood on the jacket is not removable but it can be rolled up and secured with a tab...”

“The jacket was waterproof, so it kept me nice and dry. The zip had a flap over it with a button at the bottom to keep it secure so no water could get in. the material is nice and soft and I found it very comfortable. I think you could use the jacket at any time of the year. A fleece can be zipped into it, which I think is a great idea especially for the winter. On my trip up Tryfan the coat got very muddy, but it washed and dried in no time and looked brand new again."

Verdict:

"This is a great coat and my mum says it's excellent value for money. I looked cool on the hills, and stayed warm and dry. It would be even better if the hood stowed away in a zipped pocket."

Cons: Tech and style costs

Verdict: The perfect travel accessory - very cool, lightweight, waterproof jacket.

Review Highlights: Include some innovative testing of waterproof and windproof ratings, and of breathability. The Hydrolite came out with outstanding results:

“As you'd expect the water rolled off without visibly wetting the material or changing the characteristics.  Dry paper towels held on the reverse side remained dry.“

“Perhaps not the most scientific of tests but I can confirm that the Sprayway Hydrolite Jacket is very windproof up to, in my test, speeds of 30+mph.”

“In all three tests, the Sprayway Hydrolite Jacket passed with flying colours.”

“The jacket itself is quite fitted so there is minimal loose material to flap about.  However, the material also has a degree of stretch making it comfortable to wear. “

Verdict: Must have clothes for an active, outdoor life

"The Sprayway Compass Shorts have all of the features that you’d expect from an outdoor clothing company like Sprayway.  The shorts use TecWeave, a fabric that is exclusive to Sprayway, which is highly durable and lightweight. The Sprayway Compass Shorts weigh just 237g.  The fabric also includes 4% Spandex to give the Sprayway Compass Shorts a slightly stretchy feel. Clearly, this helps the shorts retain their shape but also means that they stretch as you move, making the shorts ideal for active users, as well as being very comfortable.

The Sprayway Compass Shorts are finished with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating, which I was obliged to test.  I ran the shorts under the tap for a couple of minutes but the shorts didn’t seem to absorb any water.  The water just formed droplets and rolled off. Even with the tap at full mains pressure, the water only briefly seemed to make the material wet although the same can't be said for my kitchen. Fantastic.

Despite being high tech, the Sprayway Compass Shorts are machine washable, albeit at 30 degrees, can be tumble dried and ironed.  They come in three, suitably manly colours - gunmetal, black and light khaki. OK...Sprayway need to drop the "light" because it's not that manly.

The Sprayway Compass Shorts are extremely well made with a shaped, semi-elasticated waist (on the hips only).  The shorts have a zip fly with button fastening. There are 3 zipped pockets on the front of the shorts and Velcro fastened pocket to the rear.  The thigh pocket is stitched in to the main body of the fabric so there’s no risk of the pocket liner hanging below the hem of the shorts. Finally, there is one internal zipped, security pocket.

But perhaps most importantly, for all style-conscious hikers, the Sprayway Compass Shorts look good so I was told by my wife!"
