Here at Outdoor Look we are always trying to obtain cheap outdoor clothing of the highest quality from all the top brands you know and trust. For existing customers and those who sign up for our emails (and if you haven’t done so yet why not?) we are sending out a deal of the week offer, highlighting one particular product which we have discounted even further for seven days. The latest offer is on a pair of TEVA Bishop Peak Chukka Boots. These retail at £89.99, but we are offering them for just £39.99, a massive saving of £50.00.

However, we always make sure that what we offer is of the highest quality, cheap while saving us lots of important pennies has to be fit for purpose, be comfortable and be suitable for the activity you are planning to undertake. Therefore you should consider where you are going to be using the kit you want to buy; it’s not a lot of use to save money by buying a new pair of sandals when you are planning a trip walking in the Scottish Highlands in early autumn. That would simply be a case of false economy. Sit down and plan what kit you need, whether for a specific trip, or for replacing that well used favourite item that just won’t last another season.

So when planning find time to take a look at different brands, we all have a favourite, for whatever reason, but that isn’t always going to be the best piece of kit for the job. While we all like saving money, always get the best quality you can, buying a lesser quality product to save money may be a short-sighted view. You may find yourself having to replace it again as it might not stand up to the rigours of what you have planned and you just end up spending more money. So buy the best quality you can afford, it may be better to spend a few pounds extra in the short term that will save you money in the long term. I can vouch for that one, buying a waterproof that when used simply wasn’t, never mind bought the t-shirt, more like wringed out the soaking wet t-shirt when I got back to base!

When buying new kit, you have to be sensible. Although there is plenty of cheap outdoor clothing on the market, some of it just doesn’t come up to scratch. You have to make sure you get value for your hard earned money, so consider buying those items that cost a little more but are of a higher standard. Better still, check out our email and website for the best discounts and sales priced items, they are all from top quality brands.
