Backpack for School

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

It seems there is a never-ending lines of “STUFF” that kids need to take to school these days - I’m fairly certain that last sentence made me sound like my Dad. Yikes.  So, whether it’s PE kit, homework, pencil, pens, Nintendo DS’s and uneaten sandwiches you really need a something that’s durable and good quality, cheap backpack for school such as the Regatta backpack.

The common rucksack once used for climbing a Highland Munro or the South Coast Path has now morphed into a backpack which is far happier on the School run rather than a fell run.

Regatta Backpack

Regatta Backpack for schools come in all shapes and size and it pretty much depends on your requirements.  If you are looking to do some serious after school clubs then you need perhaps a large capacity and strong.

Alternatively, if you are looking for your pre-teenager to carry their sandwiches in then a light, small backpack should do just fine.

At the Outdoor store we have a range of backpacks to suit most needs from the school trips to light walking.

The Regatta Walking shoes

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

With summer in the air and school holidays looming, hiking season in Dorset is now upon us.

So we at online retailer the Outdoor Store feel we should look at the Regatta Guideway walking shoe.

Ladies Regatta Guideway Walking Shoe

Ladies Regatta Guideway Walking Shoe

With over 80 years of experience, Regatta is sometimes overlooked as a brand in favour of the North Face or Berghaus.  However, Regatta consistently make high quality outdoor clothing which has seen them develop into the UK’s largest supplier of outdoor and leisure clothing, as well as a leading player in the European market.

The Ladies Regatta Guideway walking shoe

The Regatta Lady Guideway has a rubberised toe and heel bumpers to provide protection against rocky ground whilst a lightweight rubber outsole and EVA shock pads cushion you from the ground up, lessening impact on your joints and bones.

Mens Regatta Guideway Walking Shoe

The Mens Regatta Guideway walking shoe.

With many of the same features as the ladies walking shoe, the mens Regatta Guideway shoe hast the same toe and heel bumpers, lightweight rubber outsole and EVA shock pads cushion.  This shoe comes in black.

The Outdoor Store thinks

“Since your feet take the brunt of all your hard work cragging, rambling, hiking and fell walking, they deserve a little protection. Especially since you’ll be expecting them to go out farther, faster and longer than before”.

If you would like to understand more about the Regatta Shoes visit the online store, The Outdoor store.

Regatta Arran Jacket Review

Thursday, June 10th, 2010
Regatta Arran 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket

Regatta Arran 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket

For outdoor pursuits, serious hiking or just simple dog walking, I don’t think you can’t beat the Regatta Arran 3 in 1 jacket to provide all year round protection against the elements. For me the beauty of this design is the flexible use of layers to suit the conditions.

An outer waterproof shell repels rain whilst a high-tech lightweight internal layer adds extra warmth. The 2 layers can be worn separately or in combination and I found them easy to attach and detach.

Regatta Arran Specification:-

Here’s the technical bit: The Regatta Arran Waterproof jacket is made from Isotex 10000 XPT fabric with Atl durable water repellent treatment, taped seams and water repellent zips for extra protection from the rain. The windproof fabric offers increased levels of breathability being 30% more breathable than standard Isotex fabrics.

This enhanced breathability ensures comfort by allowing evaporation of unwanted body moisture, whilst retaining high levels of protection from the worst of external elements.

Regatta Quality

Regatta have really put a lot of thought into this design and the result is a fashionable black jacket that is practical, incredibly lightweight, durable and easy to clean. Added to which the warm but superlight materials can be easily compressed and packed down, making it a great addition to any walker’s rucksack or day sack. Attention to detail in this design is superb, with the cuffs, hood and hem all adjustable to ensure a snug fit. The pockets are also easy to access, even when wearing a rucksack, and there is also a useful map pocket.

In my opinion the Regatta Arran Waterproof jacket is a high performance waterproof jacket that offers outstanding value and is a great investment.
