Outdoor Equipment

Fleece gloves

Brushes of hands (as well as a head) radiate inconceivable quantity(amount) of heat in space. At a cold snap of a hand merznut first of all. To the tourists I recommend to take gloves or mittens even in years(summer) hikes across Crimea. Unfortunately, they quite often ignore my advice(councils) and do not take anything, or arm absolutely not with leather for camp life leather or cotton gloves.
It at that simple and accessible means from cold hands - fleece gloves for a long time is already known.  

Winter boots Sorel Conquest

Allready 5 years I use boots Sorel Conquest 2 as winter footwear . It not tourist footwear, and more likely hunting or fishing.
Sole soft, bending, without a steel insert. They to me also like these(it;this). To go on big distances so it is much more convenient. Natural walking is promoted also by the successful form of a sole. The foot is as though rolled from a heel on front.  

Tourist shoes covers

And I shall share the experience with pleasure  

Testing of snowshoes TSL

the snow and I One of these days has unexpectedly dropped out, having taken advantage of the moment, has gone to a wood to test recently got snowshoes TSl 227 Rando. Two hours I wandered on zasnezhennym to hills and ravines checking work of snowshoes in various conditions. I have just in case written down the impressions, remarks, and simply clever ideas and have supplied with illustrations.  

Water-repellent impregnations

Even the best jackets with a membrane demand regular processing by water-repellent impregnations. It is necessary for the several reasons. The membrane moistened can cease "to work" as water and you will get wet. Except for that the fabric is sated(saturated) with a moisture and becomes heavy and more vulnerable. vodoottalikavajushchie impregnations cover a surface of a fabric with a thin layer of special substance with low factor of a superficial tension. As a result water does not moisten a fabric, and downwards " as water simply rolls down(slides) from a duck ".

Hold a head in a cold, and legs(foots) in heat - everyone know this saying since the childhood, but hardly who listens to her until will get in a hike in an adverse environment of a cold and the raised(increased) humidity.

Functional linen - termobelyo

we had a tradition to name functional linen for playing sports by a word "termobelyo". It is not absolutely correct, but the tradition is tradition.

But it is not necessary to forget, that " the Functional linen " is more correct.
