Second Underblanket Group Buy.

[Boater]

Hi all. Its me and I wasn't trying it on. A mate of mine told me about the group buy so I registered and saw that I was too late. Had missed the deadline so I tried to pull it out of the fire by contacting Snugpak direct. Apologies to wandrinstar if I've caused any offence that wasn't the intention. I wondered why snugpak hadn't replied

I still would like an underblanket if I haven't blotted me copybook to much,

Cheers All.

Contacting Ian direct would have been the sensible thing to do. Group buys are a great saving for members but people have to be really careful not to upset the people who run them as not only will they be put off but others will see the hassle and not consider them either.

I am glad Snugpac did not sell you a blanket as it would have been a shame for Ian to have had to ask them for compensation for using his design

I do not think you had any malicious intent so am not really getting at you but thought it worth posting to point out the pitfalls in trying to bypass the organiser. We all benefit from group buys and the site would be poorer without the community spirit that is shown in committing to the work of running one without any financial benefit.

Anyway, I have a suspicion you may get your blanket yet

Hi,


If there is a spare underblanket available or if somebody drops out would you please consider me a worthy owner?

Cheers,

Phil.

Without trauling through the hundreds of posts...
Can anyone tell me what the insulation material and thickness/grade is please?

Thanks

Mark

 

[wanderinstar]

Buckshot,
If I remember correctly the insulation is Snugpak's own Softee 9. Afraid I don't know the thickness.

 

[wanderinstar]

Well here's the latest. they will be ready to pick up at w/end. Should get some sent out Sat but unfortunatly sub PO cannot handle all of them in one go.

Didn't it have reflectatherm layer as well Wanderinstar?

Good news about the blankets BTW - can't wait to get mine!!!

 

[wanderinstar]

No, afraid not. According to Snugpak it would have made cost rather prohibitive.
On reflection though it didn't need it.

good pun!

Looking forward to receiving mine. I've got a camping trip planned for the weekend on 18th November, really looking forward to it now!

Top man thanks for all your hard work... looking forward to trying mine out

Cool, couldn't remember whether it ended up in or out...

Picked all blankets up from Snugpak this morning and have managed to send out 33 so far. Will do the others Monday and this will include the export models. Export models I hear you say, what's the difference. Ahh, the difference is very subtle. on the home models, the logo's are on the left hand side and on the export models they are on the right hand side.

Happy hammocking.

Cheers Ian - looking forward to testing it out in a few weeks time.

my shoulder kills as I offered to pack some underblankets up for my dad (wanderingstar) but tightening up 33 stuff sacks can take its toll. but still, I surpose its worth it if it is going to keep you all warm in the winter .
