Buff Infinity Scarf
I'm not usually one to wear scarves, unless it's freezing cold, so when I was offered a couple of these cotton continuous loop (hence the name Infinity), to review I thought I can only give them a go…
Armadillo Merino 3 Season Boot Sock
Since the beginning of December I’ve been putting Armadillo Merino’s 3 Season socks through their paces (see what I did there?), and 5 months later I’m still very…
Barbour Commander Jacket, Long
As an off-roader with a penchant for tough, rugged and long lasting items, it should come as no surprise that I like Barbour jackets…
Update: Possum Merino Half Zipped Jumper
As you can gather by my recent reviews, I’ve been reflecting on products that I initially reviewed during my days writing for the now defunct Land Rover World magazine…
Seeland LED Light Cap
I was sent this cap to review a couple of years ago, and from the start I loved it, well, for the short time I had it that is, because as usual, it turned out to be yet another useful gadget that Muddy Madam decided to steal.
It's a traditional styled peak cap, but with a difference, and the difference is that it has small LED diodes hidden in the front edge of ….
Wigwam's Cypress Trail Socks
These socks are predominately made from cotton which for me, the Muddy Madam, is a godsend. I have a big problem finding walking socks as most of them contain a good proportion of wool. Wool is great, it's hard wearing and practical, but seeing as I start itching almost at the moment of contact with most wools, then I need to ….
Armadillo Merino Lightweight Boot Sock
So far, after a month or two my Armadillo Merino Lightweight Boot Socks are continuing to give me that warm, fuzzy feeling every time I …..
SplashitToMe Raincoat
When you're off-roading, and you are jumping in and out of your vehicle, you don't want to be wearing a bulky coat that will hinder your movements or get caked in mud, and, as we all know, with the Great British weather you are likely to get wet, really wet, oh and probably quite muddy too.
So what's the solution?
SueMe Echoic Jacket
Using Polartec 300 recycled fleece in the main body and arms, SueMe’s Echoic jacket, which has been over 2 years in the making btw, offers incredible warmth and good breathability.
A traditional yet modern tailored jacket, the Echoic features a unique …..
SueMe Tree Trunks
OK guys, listen up. Reviewing a pair of boxers on your favourite muddy website isn’t as daft as it may first appear, honestly!
When I used to do a lot of walking I’d have all the fancy clothing that wicked sweat away from my clammy skin, but for some reason I’d always end up wearing the same cotton type boxers that soaked up moisture... which wasn’t pleasant. That changed …….
Páramo Halcon Jacket
Do you know those times when you really need to leave the house, but when you peer through the window and the rain is horizontal? Yeah, that’s when I grab my Páramo Halcon jacket.
There’s no getting away from the fact that at…..
Black Yak's Fleece Lined Wool Jacket
So, what happens when you put your fleece lined, pure wool jacket on from Black Yak? That’s easy, you don’t want to take it off, ever, that’s what happens!
I’ve had this jacket for around 4 years now, and as well as being incredibly warm, it’s also…..
Barbour Mens Ashby Wax Jacket
Although the Muddy Madam (she is 6 foot tall) is modelling it in these photos this jacket is actually for men, and is an updated version of Barbour's famous Bedale jacket…
Tilley Outback Hat
As you may have noticed, if you’re a keen follower of The Mud Life reviews, sometimes we go a little crazy over new pieces of kit, and other times we like to give credit where credit’s due and re-review old products, simply because of their longevity and general reliability.
Today I’m singing the praises of my old Tilley Outback hat. It really is a testament to how good Tilley wear is, that after 6 years of near constant use, it still……
Eskeez Thermal Base Layers
Back in the days when I was a Bouncer, during the harsh northern winter months we’d all wear some sort of thermal base-layer. We had to, stood outside ‘bouncing’ up and down wasn’t good for our street cred’. Our choices back then were limited, unlike now of course, now I’d be wearing a brilliant Eskeez Thermal base layer…..
Seeland Marsh Jacket & Trousers
Seeland’s Marsh jacket and trouser combo make hard work a breeze, and cosset you at the same time. Seeland has focussed on creating a package that will resist heavy usage, with strong Kevlar-like reinforcements on exposed areas and several spacious pockets, and….
