Sport & Leisure

Sport and leisure covers the gear that makes active time outdoors work — tents, sleeping bags, racket sports, electric bikes, water sports, and travel luggage. We test in real British conditions: tents in actual Lake District rain, sleeping bags in sub-zero Scottish nights, padel rackets against club-level players. Waterproof ratings on paper (hydrostatic head, seam taping) are less useful than whether a tent stays dry after a weekend in Snowdonia. For electric bikes we cover UK-legal 250W motors, range under realistic urban mixed-terrain, and service network availability. Every review notes whether the product has a UK-based warranty, which matters for repair turnaround.
