Re: Tent designs: Photon & Scarp The comparing the stability of each tent is pointless considering the difference in design. Chris the Scarp 1 is a cold tent and you have to zip up the inner to keep warm. I do as well with i... |

Re: no Photon here The length of the Photon is the same as the Competition inside and good for 6'2 people. The protection from condensation in the UK would be a must for me. Having a tent that has a flysheet th... |

Re: New Tarptent ;this is the Moment Why is it better than a Terra Nova Laser Photon ? The Photon has as much space and a inner tent to protect against condensation. The flysheet on the Photon will come all the way down keeping out... |

Re: Frame addition to Pinnacle It carries the load it was intended to fine without any additions. If you need a frame to allow it to carry more weight it makes no sense as the hipbelt will not be up to the task? leave it as it ... |

The Backpacker's Handbook by Chris Townsend As backpacking is about getting out in to the wilderness and not gear the book is superb. Some hike light and some heavy. Chris caters for each. It helps the beginner steering them to make good inf... |

Inov8 RocLite 318 GTX Used these on my last backpack for a week in Scotland. Poor paths and often no paths, yet comfort all the way. Only concern would be to hot in summer due to the lining. I had no heel lift and total... |

Alpkit CarbonLite A while back I gave these poles 5 out 5. A year on they are not used. Poor quality control is an issue. The handles slip of and the tips were fast and the baskets fall of. Under a year is not acce... |

Therm-A-Rest Pro Lite 3 It’s a great pad, no leaks, no problems. It’s given me comfort all over the hills and dales. As for the view it’s on the heavy side trust me it feels lighter to have one of these in your pack after ... |
