Purdey men’s fleece gilet
There are dozens of similar long sleeved fleece jackets – so Le Chameau went back to the drawing board and came up with the Blockley. Made from finely knitted Italian wool bonded to technical polyester fleece for warmth and breathability, the result is a quick-drying full-zip fleece jacket with class-leading heat retention and natural stretch. Available in grey, sage green, navy and brown.
RRP: £245
Sizes: S-XXL

AimCam Pro2i camera glasses
AimCam glasses function as normal protective and tinted shooting glasses, and have a built-in camera to record the view from your aiming eye – ideal if you want to analyse each shot afterwards, or just like sharing your shooting adventures.
The latest model, the Pro2i. has improved image quality and a useful vibration feedback system to confirm when you’re recording. You can control the camera through a phone app, and even livestream the picture to your smartphone.
RRP £299.99

Pilla shooting glasses
Pilla shooting glasses are popular with UK shooters for good reason. They provide superb optical performance and impact protection, with a huge range of tints and colours for all grounds and types of weather.
You can build the system you want, and there are inserts available for prescription lenses too. A simple kit costs from around £300 – or if you’re buying a gift, there are gift vouchers available from £25 upwards.
Master Lock portable safe
Protect your valuables when out and about with this portable safe by Master Lock. It features a concealed cable that can be locked to fixed objects.
It’s compact, measuring around 9in x 5in x3in, so it won’t take a shotgun fore-end for example, but it will fit a phone, small camera, keys, cash and other valuables. The case is water resistant and shock absorbent, so it gives the contents a good degree of protection when travelling.
RRP: £29.99

They offer long-lasting durability and comfort and come in a range of lengths for shoes, boots or wellies.
