Kit Focus – CEP Tall Compression Running Socks

CEP Sports Compression Running Socks
Can a pair of running socks warrant a £44.95 price tag? 'The Run Sock' from CEP Sports does, in my opinion. Featuring medical grade compression technology, a second-skin fit to avoid blisters, and anatomically padded zones for improved comfort; these high-end running socks are my go-to for all long distance runs.

The Run Compression Socks from CEP Sports use a proven blend of high-wicking yarns, which are designed to body-map to your foot's shape; this significantly reduces moisture build up and fabric wrinkles, both of which tend to encourage blisters when running.

Targeted medical grade compression technology wraps around the calves and helps to keep blood circulating to your lower legs. Improved circulation helps extend endurance and improve recovery. In tandem, this compression technology reduces muscular vibrations that happen while running; significantly reducing the chance of shin-splints and muscular fatigue.

The compression fit also stabilises your locomotor system. Compression increases your proprioception through deep sensory stimulation; so you can feel your feet better, and deliver more accurate footwork, which ultimately reduces your risk of injury.

Finally, anatomically positioned padding on the underside of the feet, heel and toes, helps to reduce the constant shocks and vibrations that can cause discomfort and injury over long endurance runs. Meanwhile mesh zones help your feet to breathe and reduce uncomfortable swelling. 

These compression running socks from CEP are one of the few scientifically supported medical-grade compression socks on the market, that are designed for sport. They deliver an unparalleled level of comfort, support and ultimately performance. Without doubt the best running socks I have used to date.

Kit Focus – Rab Expedition 50L Kit Bag

Rab Equipment is one of my favourite outdoor brands on the market – they produce the legendary Microlight down jacket (see my recent review of the Rab Infinity Microlight Down Jacket ), as well as sleeping bags that I have used on some of my longest expeditions.  A new piece of Rab Equipment that has landed in my kit store though, is the Rab Expedition 50 Kit Bag – a rugged and hardwearing 50 litre duffel bag that is superbly made and ready for any adventure. The Rab Kitbag 50 is made using a tough and durable 600D fabric and is coated with a TPU water-resistant film. Triple-stitched seams and a double thickness base add further to the ruggedness of the kit bag.  The contents of the duffel bag are easily accessible through a large, double zippered (lockable) main opening. On the underside of the lid there are two internal zippered mesh pockets, as well as two pockets at either end of the bag's internal main compartment. For transporting the Rab Expedition Kit Bag, there are two det

Fresh from the mountains of Sri Lanka, this is my review of the versatile and sure-footed Merrell MQM 3 Mid GORE-TEX hiking boots.  Merrell shoes have been a trustworthy walking partner of mine for several years now; with previous models reviewed here on The Expedition Journals including the MQM Flex 2.0 and ChopRock Aqua Shoes . The brand's footwear is comfortable, durable, and provides a reassuring foothold on a multitude of terrains. The Merrell MQM 3 Mid GORE-TEX boots were my choice of hiking shoes for a three week adventure to the island of Sri Lanka. With jungle treks, mountain hikes, and days spent wandering through markets and nature reserves, I wanted a pair of lightweight waterproof hiking boots that would be comfortable and reliable – the MQM 3 Mid boots delivered flawlessly. Waterproof hiking boots are the best option when choosing walking shoes for all conditions, in my opinion. Waterproof boots offer all-weather protection, and although slightly warmer than non-wate

Kit Focus – Craghoppers Kiwi Trek Hiking Boots Review

2021 started with a lot more hiking than normal. A fall on ice on Christmas Day morning enforced a need to take four weeks off from cycling, kayaking, or sailing—due to a broken elbow. I embraced the demand for change though, pulling on a new pair of hiking boots from Craghoppers and heading out on the coastal paths and hills of the Isle of Wight… The Craghoppers Kiwi Trek Hiking Boots appear to be traditional leather hiking boots at first glance, but in truth they are a modern feature-packed boot for off-road treks and hikes. The Kiwi Trek boots have a full leather construction, with classic d-ring lacing and a soft leather lining. A Vibram outsole supplies the grip required for all surfaces, and the Aquadry waterproof membrane ensures your feet stay dry and comfortable within. The full-grain leather construction has a padded collar and tongue for added comfort; the latter has been treated with Craghoppers’ patented NosiLife tech—to keep those pesky insects at bay in the summer
