Tiger Stripe pattern. Only pics I had out of the bag got deleted but I will take it out and photograph it if there is definite interest. Otherwise, it’s as it appears in Helikon’s stock pics.

New and unused. Bought a couple of colours and tried them on, rolled this back up and it’s been bagged since.

£115 inc postage and PayPal.

Couple of bagged pics. Packs small, like a Snugpak Jungle blanket sort of size.

Bump for this useful garment/blanket/sleeping bag. It’s chilly out there in the evenings, this is the answer. ;)

If anybody is interested
Thanks. I watched and read a fair bit before I bought one and apart from the sleeping bag mode being fairly snug, nobody has any negative comment at all.

I’m using mine as a blanket most nights, definitely tonight as it’s sultry out. It’s surprising how good the Climashield is.

Bump on this cracking bit of kit. Just used mine as a blanket with an itchy Dutch army blanket on top, and in poncho mode while camping in a lovely apple orchard in Glastonbury. It’s now firmly a favourite ‘thing’ and is going on every adventure.

After the rain on Sunday, I’m going to see how it pairs up with the Snugpak Poncho I have, and if it doesn’t I’m getting the Helikon.

I’ve come to reckon this is better than the Snugpak Jungle blanket, not just for its obvious extra versatility, but it doesn’t snag the tiniest bit of toenail like that weird layer on the Snuggie.

Now at £115 all in, brand new, bagged, tagged and boxed.

All sorted and on its way Geoff, many thanks to you. I reckon you’re gonna love the thing, can’t work out why it hung around so long, I love mine. Well, both of them. There’s one in the van as a summer blanket and poncho and one here to chuck on the bed on hot nights or wear under a Snugpak poncho. Kind of looking forward to the weather getting rough now and not having to dry out the Ventile or wear the Paramo Halcon.

Haha, I was too slow again. I've been talking myself into buying this and then as soon as I convince myself and have funds available I find out it's gone. Congratulations to Geoff, it looks like a lovely bit of kit.
