Aktive8

This friendly, autumnal-coloured site is home to a well-stocked Outdoor Gear and Camping specialist online shop. The variety of products here is quite astonishing and ranges from women's fleeces to fold up bikes, with all the top brands on offer at competitive prices. The simple menu on the left hand side of the homepage allows you to pick what you want to look at further - clicking on a specific link will take you through to a specialized page complete with photos of the goods on offer and a worthwhile introduction to the product line itself. The road bikes section for instance features a decent introduction to the different types of road bike and 3 bikes of varying prices, all of which are available to buy online.

If you feel the mass of stock here is all a bit overwhelming, then fear not, those kind chaps at aktive8.com have included a few features on the site to give you a bit of direction. The just ask feature shows the top 10 most popular searches on the site to date - perfect if your looking for a present for a camping friend, but are not so sure what to buy. Also here to help are the featured items highlighted on each page of the site, giving you a clear indication of good buys and reduced items.

The site is not just an online shopping experience, however. Click on Go Adventure and you will, in their own words, get out of the shopping basket and point toward the hills. This section of the site, though as yet uncompleted, promises to feature tales and photos of readers' exotic excursions. The three best efforts each month will be printed in this section and will receive a £50 gift voucher for their work.
