OutdoorGear reviews, kit lists and guides

At OutdoorGear we're committed to ensuring you get the most from your outdoor adventure. So we've put together some handy guides to help you decide what you will need and understand the technology behind many of our specialised products. That way, you'll be ready and raring to get outdoors and exploring…whether you're first time camping, hiking up Ben Nevis, skiing in the Alps or simply taking on the unpredictable British weather!

When you're planning your trip, it can be all too easy to forget pieces of essential kit in the excitement of anticipation. Check out our kit lists for some great ideas of useful gear you might not even have thought of taking…and then use them as packing lists so you don't forget anything. Then there's no chance you'll end up at a festival without wellies or skiing without thermals!
