I'm also a hobbit so got a PHD half-bag; plenty of overlap with my down jacket and takes up no space at all. Great for getting up in the night for a piss and not having to get cold!

Yeti sleeping bags

Not sure what these are like but for people looking for a cheap lightish mat they may be an option

Horizontal baffles like a neo air, with an exped schnozzle type bag to inflate - for around £54

If you are relatively small and female, tkmaxx in Sheffield had very nice yeti down jackets at £99 down from £350.... Try as I might, the biggest one (ladies medium) wouldn't fit me!

Ooh thanks for that's heads up I will go and have a nosey :)

I thought £30 for that saddle was too good to be true

Did anyone's turn up from the previous link? Thoughts?

Yep, took about 3 weeks.

Thoughts?

I hate to say this as it feels like a betrayl but it's actually very good. When it and a TS are side by side, then, this isn't to the same standard of manufacture but it's still very good ... especially when held up with some super-dooper carbon poles

Cheers Stu. I missed them last time and although I'd like a 'real' trailstar would struggle to justify it when this option exists.
Even the man maths don't support the trailstar.
Now if only I could remember where I ordered my last set of carbon poles from........

What's the waterproofness like?

Seems fine so far and I've not bothered to seal it.

In fairness, living in such an arid area why would he?

I also got one and I'm amazed how good it is for the price. It's not seen a proper storm yet, mind.

Hmmm, tempting!

Is I the same dimensions as a trailstar? I.e. Needs a big footprint to pitch. Also, what's interior size like for someone tall?

Yep.

It covers a lot of ground but because it's a tarp the ground doesn't need to be smooth or flat.

No one's going to stand up under one but if you're lay down, there's a lot of room, even for giants.

wtf I ordered one last week at $69 now they are only $48!!

Iv been ripped off

If it's the same size as a real trailstar it'll be big enough for a party.
One windy night in the Brecon Beacons, 4 of us sat underneath and it was given the moniker of "The Marquee".

Anyone else not getting the link to work?
