Really nice Ian, I look forward to seeing it at the end of the month if all things prevail, nice work and I'm loving the logo, it's all about the branding.

Sterling work as usual Ian. Really like that. Now just to convince SWMBO that I absolutely 100% NEED one for a trip!

Looks a tidy piece of kit Bilmo,

In one of the photos there's a red-brown cover (?) shown on the bedroll, apparently press-studded to the roll. Is this some sort of waxed waterproof cover?

Any thoughts on some mozzie-proofing the head end? Or would that remove some flexibility?

This?

It's the bottom of the bedroll folded up so that the head & foot D-rings can be seen in the one picture. The press studs hold the liner in place inside the bag.

I'm giving some thought to a net arrangement and think it will be somehow connected to the threshold at the head of the roll.

Ian,

That is really impressive. A little while back I knocked together a nylon 'slip' to go over the top half of my sleep mat with a pocket in one end to allow me to put a coat or jumper inside to act as a pillow that wouldn't escape during the night. I was pleased with it from a functional point of view, but what you have created is (I am trying to think of the right words here) well, its absolutely spot on. Great job, clear thinking and well executed.

If you are in production I would like one very much.

That is amazing! I have spent may hours pondering the design and construction of this kind of thing, but I would never do it justice. Just need to start saving instead!
