going hiking in Tassie in winter requires the best rain jacket. I love this one because of its three quarter length, providing maximum coverage to the thighs. not many jackets go this length.
Great service and great piece of kit, delivered quickly. Would total recommend. Side note get a spare check value as these can be dislodged if you’re not careful.
Works well, however possible user error…it leaks a tad on some bottles. I found the softer plastic bottles leaking at the top. The Fiji water bottle initially leaked but I seemed to have got it on the 2nd time with no leaks.
Thought long and hard about these before purchasing, but definitely worth it. Been wearing for a while now every day and am stoked with how they fit, the durability, how comfortable they are and the team at PAST.
Before shipping the clogs out they made sure I had read the sizing guide correctly, which was a nice detail. I ordered a size up and they fit nicely, would be curious to see if my normal size would have been satisfactory.
Overall awesome and am looking forward to wearing these in.
I recently put the Sea to Summit Spark Pro Down Sleeping Bag through its paces during a VRA NSW Special Operations Rescue Unit alpine search and rescue exercise, where overnight temperatures dropped below freezing.
The Spark Pro performed exceptionally well. Despite the frozen conditions, it kept me warm and comfortable throughout the night, allowing me to get quality rest before another demanding day in the field. When you’re operating in a search and rescue environment, reliable sleep isn’t just about comfort—it’s about maintaining performance, decision-making, and safety.
The bag packs down incredibly small, saving valuable space in my pack, while still providing impressive warmth for its weight. For anyone undertaking alpine hiking, remote expeditions, or search and rescue operations where every gram counts, the Spark Pro is an outstanding piece of equipment.
A big thank you to Past Outdoors for the excellent service and expert advice. It’s great to deal with a team that understands the demands of serious outdoor users and stocks equipment you can trust when conditions are at their worst.
