Unparallel Flagship Pro | Climbing Shoe Review

Precision and power in a refined Pro package, the new Flagship Pro might just be the crowning jewel in Unparallel’s latest lineup, taking American climbing shoe design to lofty new heights. Released alongside the all-new Qubit, these two models mark a new age for Unparallel, leaving us asking, “5.10 who?”. Designed in collaboration with Tomoa Narasaki, the Flagship Pro takes everything great from the original model and cranks it up to 11. So, it’s been built for the best competition boulderer of our age, but how will it fare on my fine feet? Let’s dive in and find out.

Evolv Zenist Pro | Climbing Shoe Review

Bigger, bolder, better. The new Evolv Zenist Pro truly earns its name as one of the most cutting edge climbing shoes Evolv has ever made. Locked and loaded with a lot of the same new tech as its more outdoor focussed cousin, the Shaman Pro, the pair spearhead a revitalised Evolv and thrust it firmly in a modern direction. But, is this new look bang or bust for Evolv?

Deuter Vertrail 16 | Rucksack Review

Refined simplicity in a versatile pack designed to tackle the fastest and lightest mountain adventures, the Vertrail 16 comes in as the most intriguing addition to the 2023 Deuter pack range. Hybridising elements of a trail running vest, a roll top dry bag and a conventional mountaineering day pack in a compact 16 litre offering, have Deuter nailed it or have they bitten off more than most of us can chew?

Evolv Shaman Pro | Climbing Shoe Review

Dynamic precision in a newly conceptualised take on a classic, the Evolv Shaman Pro seizes its family line and thrusts it firmly to the pinnacle of the performance shoe world. Used and no doubt co-designed with Evolv's elite rostrum of top athletes like Daniel Woods and Alex Johnson, the Shaman Pro is the shoe for hard projects and that next level in bouldering difficulty - so it's good, really flipping good, but is it the shoe for you?

Scarpa Vapour S | Climbing Shoe Review

Innovative brilliance in a versatile vehicle of climbing comfort and performance, it doesn't get any better than the modern day remake of the Scarpa Vapour S.

Deuter Guide 30 | Rucksack Review

Faster, lighter, brighter, the Guide 30 is the quintessential Deuter pack within the new SS23 range boasting a range of subtle and some not so subtle improvements that put the new packs up there as the very best on the market. Perfectly sized for a day out in the UK hills, the Guide 30 sits at the fulcrum of the Guide range and will doubtless be one of the most popular options for UK mountaineers but, is it worth your money?
