They could start by learning about thread tension.... These are not good seams.

My swiss pack is in as good nick as their ones and it was half the price.

WAY over priced they seem to be charging 10X the surplus price for bunging a bit of wax on a bag...

Where can someone find the swag bag cheaper then??? Cause I really like that..

I have been using one of the swags at least two nights a week for the past two years, it's just starting to wear in, and still looks like new. £230 decided by 192 nights equals 1.20 per night and getting less. I don't think that's too bad really.

Got any pics of your swag then?

I'm with Rik-uk3 on this. 5 kilos for a 2x3.5 tarp? Same weight for a (probably not entirely waterproof) bivi and 10 kilos for the tent, Over UKP 1000 spent and you need a pack horse to move it. In my youth I used a cotton tent and a leather/cotton P42 Bergan with steel frame. i doubt I could carry that gear across the car park these days, whereas with modern materials, at well less than 1/3 the price, I can still look forward to the White Mountains.

I've got 2 now, both Aussie made Burke & Wills. Tremendous things they are too.

My mate has a shipment arriving end of the month.

My take: I wouldn't have a problem with paying a premium price if I got high quality. Uneven stitching and bad seams is not my definition of high quality. I don't think this is a case of you get what you pay for.

I really liked the look of their gear until now! That's shocking stitching for such an expensive item. I love their camp fire tent which is why I'm making my own version from polycotton for canoe camping.

 

[trekkingnut]

tis expensive eh lads but it does look amazing ill give them that! im still aiming to move back to the uk at some stage and live in a massive bell tent in someones woods... sigh... thatll be the day!
