    Buffalo Mountain Shirt - Pack size?

    Thanks for the advice bearbait and thanks for taking the time to measure it (sorry it's taken so long to reply it's been a busy few days). I think I'm pretty set on getting myself a buffalo, apparently the waiting list is so long it'll be mid June before I can get one, though if people are...

    Buffalo Mountain Shirt - Pack size?

    Thanks, yeah I guess I'm looking at two really rather different bits of kit. If only I could afford both... (lets be honest, I'm a student, I can't even afford one, but I guess I can cut back on my heating bills next winter if I wear it round the house!)

    Buffalo Mountain Shirt - Pack size?

    Hi all, Recently been looking at splurging and getting myself a Buffalo shirt, but no where, oh no where can I find any information on how well they pack down! Does anyone have any experience with them? My alternative purchase would be something like the Montane fireball jacket which I...

    Tent advice Berghaus Vs. Jack Wolfskin

    Great many thanks Rory, I'd not really encountered Vaude before but it's good to get some positive reviews, you've given me some stuff to think about. And Barney I agree, I like the size/weight of the alpkit (plus I do just like alpkit as a company) little worried that the materials wont be...

    Tent advice Berghaus Vs. Jack Wolfskin

    Hi all, I've been looking at getting a new tent and have narrowed it down to three main candidates, just wondering if anyone has any experience of either/any suggestions I may have overlooked (£200 being about the limit of my budget) 1) the Jack Wolfskin Skyrocket II dome tent as seen here...

    Hey guys, sorry been away for a couple of days. Thanks for the all the advice, plenty to think about (and it'll be a while until I can afford either so plenty of time to think as well) Thanks.

    DD Vs Alpkit tarps.

    Wow, gone for the big ones. Any difference in build quality between the two? Or do they feel pretty similar?

    DD Vs Alpkit tarps.

    Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a tarp (tent broke and since I joined the reserves I've discovered the joy of the bivvi and basha) but not sure what to get. Seen a lot of talk about the DD tarps on here, which have th advantage of coming in multicam, but I was checking out the Alpkit site...

    Kit recommendations

    I've got a sabre 45, had it for years and it's been all over with me, nice solid bag. Whilst it's true it's slightly small for anything more than a night out its easy enough to find a couple of cheap PLCE side pockets which bring it up to a 65 litre, that way you have the option of a day bag or...

    Alpkit Hunka XL and UST Base Tarp

    Haha I hear they can be pretty tight on the old lines of credit, my bank is generally referred to as "empty". However I will call dibs on the tarp and bivi, I'm moving from London to Glasgow today but if you don't mind waiting till tomorrow I can zip the cash over to you.

    Terra Nova Trisar 2 or Vango Tempest 200?

    So, I've had to hand my nice tent over to the people at North Face warranty dept, and it will be minimum 4-6 weeks before I even hear from them, I don't think I can wait that long to go camping again. I've found a guy on Facebook selling a load of ex expedition tents for pretty good prices and...
