I got some Aldi base layers. Just been out all night on a ride and it kept me perfectly warm and not hot and sweaty. Also got some of their merino socks.

Re: The post man's been ...
Picked a 700 fill duck down blanket up today in Costco, comes with stuff sack,
Measures 177cm x 152cm ( the blanket, not the stuff sack
) packs nice and
small for £15 ! Don't know how warm It's going to be, feels okay for the price though
As a top up or summer quilt

Bumper day today - replacement Garmin 800 in time for BB200; a chrome pump with Woods valve adaptor for the butchers bike (not for the BB200), and some new bars for the hardtail (Mt Zoom 720mm), tubeless valves and carbon bottle cage for the CX bike.
And contact lenses for the other half (although I look better without them).

To go with my rigid forks from the other day I just got some on-one OG bars. Only just fitted but they seem pretty good for wrist position without changing my reach....

A Berghaus hyper-condom-smock thing. I can't believe anything that fragile comes with a 'lifetime' warranty. Imagine if they made a bivi bag from that stuff...
Re: The post man's been ...
The first time I wore mine it ended up with little dimples all over the back from where mud had hit it. I carefully cleaned it but they are still there, however they disappeared after a couple of days.ZeroDarkBivi wrote:A Berghaus hyper-condom-smock thing.

The lifetime of the product, not the owner I bet, i.e. as long as you'd expect a paper thin garment to last if used in harsh conditions.ZeroDarkBivi wrote:A Berghaus hyper-condom-smock thing.

A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURE. GUARANTEED. BERGHAUS PRODUCTS CAN DO (ALMOST) ANYTHING
For 50 years, Berghaus has been committed to endless innovation and the relentless pursuit of excellence. We believe passionately that our products make a real difference to the people who use them – and we guarantee our gear will stand up to the task it’s intended for (yes, that does rule out using your jacket as a paragliding sail).
BUILT TO LAST… FOR LIFE
Our products are covered by a lifetime guarantee – that is, the length of time any piece of kit can reasonably be expected to keep delivering the same great performance as when it was new (so no sending back that 40 year-old walking jacket, please).
THE NUTS AND BOLTS
This guarantee is our confidence that our products will give you the protection you need for your adventures. So, if you think there is a problem with your Berghaus product (and it’s not just fair wear and tear), tell us, and we’ll replace or repair it free of charge. Returns should be made through the store or site you bought it from. This guarantee does not affect your statutory rights.
