[sunndog]

This just popped up on my recommended stuff ebay list

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Valise-fo...357?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e9b5fb015

Does anyone know what they look like erected?
I don't think i'll actually buy one, just asking out of interest because i'v not even heard of them before. Plus my google fu failed me in finding a pic meself




Cheers all.......adam

That listing seems to be for the bag only, not the tent itself.

They are ok for dry cold conditions not meant for wet conditions as in UK

The valise is just a rucksack for a tent I believe.

Yup, that'd be for the bag only.

I'm pretty sure (but could be wrong) it goes with this tent ...

(As I've nicked his pic I feel it only fair to link to the sale ~ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-A...888?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ae433b540 ~ no connection to seller asfar as I'm aware)

Cheers chaps, i knew the ad i linked to was just for the bag but i'd never seen the tent before

Squidders, now you say it 'valise' does sound like some sort of bag or carrier. Twodogs had a thread up recently about a valise (some sort of bedroll thing) so i thought it was some army term for a type of tent.


Decorum, thanks for the pic. I saw one of them when i was searching earlier so you are more then likely right

Curiosity.........satisfied

IIRC, 'valise' is French for 'suitcase'.
