L A N D A N D WATER 
CHOOSING KIT 
{Continued from pace 285) 
winter conditions of weather, and have found it all that 
could be desired in wet and in cold ; it fulfils the double 
purpose of waterproof and warm coat, and, unlike the coat 
with detachable lining, is not unduly heavy. The proofing 
is of the very best quality, really proof against a soaking 
rain for any length of time ; the lining is a soft, light fleece, 
which altogether takes away the " feel " generally associated 
with waterproofed garments, makes the coat comfortably 
warm for winter wear, and is so light in weight that on a 
dry, cold day it is preferable to a cloth coat ; the fact of its 
being windproof adds greatly to its warmth. A further 
point in its favour is that it is thoroughly weU ventilated, 
and altogether it seems about the best all purposes coat 
that one can obtain, more especially for mounted men, 
though it is well suited for infantry use as well. 
Matchboxes 
There are few things on this earth more irritating than a 
cold hot-water bottle in a railway carriage and a wet match- 
box on which matches will not strike. With the first of these 
we have no concern, for it is a luxury which is not included 
in campaigning requisites ; with the second it is different, 
for any man can, if lie chooses, now get a neat nickel cover 
which protects bjth matchbox and matches and renders it 
possible to get a light without trouble on the wettest day. 
The box is contrived so as to open diagonally ; it does not 
expose the striking surface when not in use, but gives full 
freedom for striking when desired. It is made so as to fit 
the ordinary-sized matchbox, and will save much irritation 
and bad language. Although a very small item, it is a 
useful one to enclose in any parcel of " comforts " for men 
on field service. 
Another Vest 
For those whose tastes incline to rainproof goods in 
preference to leather it is possible to obtain a rainproof 
lined vest, which is constructed very much after the pattern 
of the leather jerkin previously mentioned in these columns. 
It is a thoroughly serviceable thing, well ventilated, and 
fastening over the shoulders so as to give a closed front and 
ample ventilation under the arms and down the sides. One 
possible drawback is that it is not made with a vest opening 
at the front — the V-shaped opening which shows the tie — 
but this is a very small thing, and on Service may possibly 
count as an advantage rather than otherwise. In any case, 
this particular form of vest is warm, light, and thoroughly 
comfortable in wear.

HEN ordering new garments or Service 
kit remember that the material is 
a matter of great importance to your 
health. Many leading sportsmen and the 
majorilX) of officers of the British Army 
wear " Viyella," and will have nothing else 
because, since it absorbs and radiates away 
the moisture of the body, it is more hygienic 
and chill-preventing than non-absorbent 
ordinary flannel or chilly linen. Then it is 
exceedingly refined in appearance, soft, 
light, and warm, very durable, and does 
not shrink. Made in light, medium, and 
heavy weight of a variety of patterns, 
including regulation khakis, greys, etc., for 
Service wear. "Viyella" is All- British.
