Brilliant value for money...I don't know if one can still find unissued ones? However the design of using both with the liner is at best tedious and doesn't work that well. But it'll keep you warm for not a lot......

Interesting...or maybe not....since the above, Snugpak pricing on this has gone nuts and it's now very expensive. Perhaps look at the Jack Wolfskin Gossamer 1?

Sierra Designs Cloud 800 or Backcountry............

These are cracking tents that have flown under the radar a bit. To answer your question, yes they are a newer version and use a "recycled" polyester, and as such, Vango claim I think a HH of 3000mm, but generally identical. They work incredibly well as a one man tent....not two as Vango would...

If travelling light......look at the Sierra Designs Cloud or Backcountry (down) zipless bags. If weight and bulk are not an issue, Snugpak (synthetic fill) do the "Elite" range which have built in expansion panels, and other bags can have zip in expansion panels? I have both Sierra and Snugpak...

I empathise with several posts made above, having done so, my hypocrisy allowed me to buy from AE, a Lightour R 7 + lightweight inflatable pad at a good price that I otherwise wouldn't have afforded.................... It's to go with a Sierra Designs Cloud 800 zipless bag. American company...

last week......a Nortent Vern 1 PC.................. :)

Have you tried emailing him?

Chest Rig?

I'm with you on this and was wondering if one of the "Lay Flat" designs might work. I don't know if anyone here has used one? I have bought a NightCat Lay Flat, but have yet to try it as a hammock. Works well as a bivvy on the ground though.......

I think the manufacture is actually in Vietnam ? Polish design.

They must be really scraping the barrel now......sad.

An excellent bit of kit for its purpose....and that is NOT sitting upright therein in storms. It is a "bivvy tent"......... compact, very waterproof, very wind resistant, well ventilated. Very discrete when required. Good for tall people too!

Really? If you can't find any (there are millions about) I can't seem to post images on this site, but I do have a few, I could email them if you pm me?

I have the 15, Xtra long and expanda panel. Lovely bags if a little? bulky and heavy :)
