great concept, when using hydration/electrolyte tablets and hiking, the system would pressurise and the drinking nozzle would leak (not sure if this was because we were at altitude or not). I fitted some magnets so it wasn't flopping around
A friend got me on to these after bemoaning how difficult it can be to keep gels down; I was a little sceptical, but intrigued by Margarita flavour; decided to take the plunge.
So much easier than a gel! No chance of it leaking and getting everywhere. Easier to swallow and provides the same "kick" as the gels do.
Purchased the Sea To Summit Ascent Down Sleeping Bag -9°C after consulting with Past Outdoors CEO.
Have not used it ‘in the field for want of better words’ yet, so it’s a 4/5 but in a good way! However, that does not preclude providing a short positive overview of the logic in why it is a sound purchase. Simply because its well thought out and functional design, and by extension, it’s versatility for dealing with the conditions and circumstances at time of needed use: think sleeping bag; quilt; and a makeshift overcoat. So, if you are the type whose body runs hot during your sleep hours, this sleeping bag can help you maintain personal comfort, and importantly, quality sleep and rest - it can be adjusted to vent excess body heat, if needed - and that’s gotta be a good thing, hasn’t it. It is a well made purpose-built product, based on intelligent, functional and well-reasoned design, using materials that make for a ‘toasty warm’ sleeping bag; but adjustable for personal comfort, when used in your real world outdoor settings. Cheers.
Did I say handy? Great size. Now rather than having one giant coffee in the morning I can break it up into multiple coffee breaks. I’ve left the camelbak era, small and big Nalgenes are my thing. Gotta be on top of that water discipline. Always on the waistband of my Eberlestock packs
Works a treat
