Waterproof, Mudproof Crockproof !
Other winches claim “waterproof” or “sealed,” but the latest range of winches from VRS were independently lab tested and certified to the IP68 standard. Although the VRS contactor (Winch relay) kits have been water proof ( IP68 ) for a while now, VRS has now taken it to the next level.
Time for something new;
Camp light solutions have evolved a lot in the last few years and LED camp lights have been a clear winner. From flexible weather proof packs to the rigid LED strips made famous by Korr.
Now John from Lightstorm L.E.D has taken camp lights to the next level with the Australian built “Powerpole”. Setting up you lighting is now as instant as fitting your tent pole.

LED Light Bar comparison
One of the key things we picked up during this comparison is the massive difference between light bars. Certainly not all bars are created equal, and while most of us want to label a “winner” the real fact is every bar had a strength in a different area.
Depending on wether you are chasing distance, spread or low speed off road light, the team at Get Good Gear hope this article helps you to consider the whole package when choosing the right light bar for you.

In order to gain this sought after distance effectively, light is concentrated and contained to a single pencil beam, as a result sacrificing the spread of light. READ MORE
