BRUTE BUMPER

Meet the stainless steel Brute Bumper from Uproar 4x4. What makes it a brute? Well it’s made from 5 mm 304 stainless steel and is three times stronger than a standard OEM bumper. We like the functional tow eyes and the fact that it won’t rust.

Musto/ Land Rover Welded Thermo Jacket
PRICE: £350 Contact: Musto.com Rating: 5 stars
am a bit of a jacket guy and I have several rather nice outdoor coats. Ones that will go to the grave with me. Then Musto sent me their Land Rover Welded jacket to review towards the back end of winter and none of my other jackets (Berghaus Hudsonian Down Insulated Parka and Country Innovation Woodlark) got a look in. For starters the Musto/Land Rover jacket was less jacket than the parka, shorter than the Woodlark. Yet still it hugged my body a whole lot better than the other two without feeling bulky if that makes sense? It almost felt like a body suit.
My Berghaus Parka has seen action in Moscow on a weekend where temperatures plummeted to minus 30. I was not able to test the Musto/Land Rover jacket in the same extremes but I was surprised at how well it handled the worst of what the British winter could offer. In fact, I found myself taking it off on some of the milder winter days because I was getting hot.
Musto make sailing and technical clothing and this jacket is no different. In Moscow my mobile phone battery went flat quickly because of the cold. Not so with the Musto/ Land Rover jacket as pockets are lined with PrimaLoft® Aerogel, so it’s like sticking your hand into warm water. While it definitely has the ability to keep one as warm as some of the bulkier jackets about thanks to its five-layer waterproof shell fabric and PrimaLoft® Silver insulation, it is a very light and compact feeling jacket.
Initially I was sceptical about the wavy look of the jacket but after several positive comments from fashionable friends I started to like it. While it might look black it does have reflectors so people will be able to see you in low light. I like how the sleeve ends double up as gloves but still leave your fingers exposed so you can operate a camera. The embedded cord locks are easy to manoeuvre with one hand only and so too the zips. Incredibly the jacket is equipped with a RECCO integrated antenna so you won’t be able to hide from your annoying Toyota-driving mate.
