Product Review - Scott 2009 Mens Corkscrew Jacket

Scott were incredibly kind and kitted some of out this winter in their new range of LTD Gore-tex ski jackets. The difference with their LTD range is that the Gore fabric isn't bonded to the inner part of the outer fabric as it is on all other jackets, it is bonded to the outer part of the jackets liner allowing the deigners of these jackets to be more elaborate in their design instead of being limited as to where they can place zips, vents etc as other brands jackets are.

I used this jacket in Tignes (France) several times this winter in conditions from -25 to +10 and it perfomed amazingly well as you would expect for a jacket worth nearly £250. I got a lot of comments from people on and off the mountain about how nice it looked (skiers and snowboarders). I think the overriding factor about the corkscrew jacket is it's versitility in all temperatures. I only had to vary the amount of layers by one piece between -25 to +10. To buy this item would be money well spent

Product Review - O'Shea 6'4" EPS Epoxy Fish Surfboards

This board goes incredibly well in all size waves up to 4ft and in really small weak surf makes getting into the wave really easy. I swapped to one of these for the summer from a standard 6'2" thruster simply to gain more float and bouyancy in typical British summer surf. I found that I was instantly getting into loads more waves and would imaging this would be a great board for someone also looking to get their first shortboard as it is super stable when getting to your feet. I have surfed it in solid 4 foot and it is maybe a bit under gunned but still went well enough. One major benefit is how tough the epoxy material is. Have had the board a few months now and it still looks brand new - I can highly recommend this to anyone who suits either of the two above descriptions. I am 5'8" and 12.5 stone if that helps anyone with whether or not they may need to go for the 6'6" or 6'8" versions.
