Oooooooooooh .... Ive got one of their hammock quilts, but always wondered whether the Comforter might not have been a better option, as it's clearly more versatile. Be interested to hear thoughts on it after a few uses.backcountry.scot with a Cumulus M350 Comforter

Not the postman, but collected from Tweeks Cycles which is just up the road from home.

A replacement for this:-

Which saved my head from a nasty bump a couple of weeks ago.

Re: The post man's been ...
Montane lite speed jacket. Had one before but sold it as too large, this is the right size. Great piece of kit
Montane prism gloves, toasty warm
Under Armour base layer, batman style. Kids are impressed with it
Might be more use for walking than biking though, which I've done more of this year

That would be superman style. Batman has a cape and a bat belt (and a pretty special mask)ScotRoutes wrote:You wear it over your tights?benp1 wrote: Under Armour base layer, batman style.
[This one has comedy bat symbol and some other bits on, good for those not taking themselves too seriously or those amusing children]
Re: The post man's been ...
Postie brought an alpkit cloudbase matt.
Odd Matt. But seems comfy in the living room test. Small enough and light enough.

And delivered a new sinewave beacon, FOC. It was put in the post the same day following a short email exchange with Dave Dean at sinewave. No asking for the old unit back, no asking for long lost receipts.
Three cheers for great customer service
