[Lithril]

[arctic hobo]

Some Rab Atlas down filled series on sale here:

Up and Under - Sleeping Bags and Mats Bargains

I don't use them but thought to post for those interested.

 

[Lithril]

Trouble is down really is fundamentally unsuited for the British climate so its gotta be a synthetic bag for me.

 

[arctic hobo]

Uhuh... Nanok... :You_Rock_

 

[maddave]

Uhuh... Nanok... :You_Rock_

I take it you like Nanok then Rev Norwegian Spruce ??

 

[Brian]

Im with arctic hobo on this one, if its synthetic and I have to carry it, my favorite is Nanok. Good quality, good design and reasonable price.

"MEN WANTED FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY. SMALL WAGES, BITTER COLD, LONG MONTHS OF COMPLETE DARKNESS, CONSTANT DANGER, SAFE RETURN DOUBTFUL. HONOR AND RECOGNITION IN CASE OF SUCCESS."

The advert Shakleton was supposed to have posted to attract candidates for his 1914 Antarctic trip

 

[maddave]

Snuggly warm Dave this winter :biggthump

 

[tomtom]

[arctic hobo]

I don't know the size of the -10, but from Trek Direct they're £100.

Yep: it's also the essence of what I say to my friends when I try and drag them off on more arctic expeditions (They aren't really of an outdoorsy bent )

You might even call me the Rev Norwegian Spruce "Nanok" Hobo ): They are the best :super:

I'll give ya an honest review though :biggthump

 

[arctic hobo]

Don't forget the less obvious bits like machine washing, cold spots, boot liner... ):

 

[tomtom]

do you have one Hobo?

 

[arctic hobo]

Goodness yes, the Endurance -25 It's my favourite bit of kit in the world, excepting my bearskin and possibly my Scarpa SL's. Very very very good... I can go on all day :roll: :super:
Thinking of buying a -10 for this summer ):

 

[tomtom]

could you measure up this pack size? i cant find it!

 

[giancarlo]

I'm with Dave, just bought a -25 from Trekdirect tonight, made me a special "For Carlo Only" product, which was the -25, minus the VAT and correct shipping, £125...nice!

Hope it's good... otherwise i'm going to get you Hobo
( i'm sure it's excellent )

Just hope it's here before Chrimbo now!

Cheers

 

[tomtom]

when is the ETA GC? i have found TrekDirect to be very quick!!

(Tony perhaps you could negotiate a BCUK special on this befor i buy one ): )

anyone know how big it is yet?

now is it the -25 or the -10?

 

[giancarlo]

didn't give me an eta, but it's around christmas so i'm not expecting miracles... last time i got my laplander / GB SFA from them it was only a week i think.
I am off the mainland though, so that's usually and extra day.

not sure what the pack size is, (i'll measure when it's down)
weight is nearly 3kg though
