I'd been waiting for this. Typical the things I want aren't in the sale! :roll:

I was after a Minimus bag with the 900 fill and MX outer. I might've settled for a Minim Ultra. I need the long in which ever one I get, nearly bought the lightest bag Terra Nova do but realised it's only 180cm long.
I'm also after an Ultra down vest, think I'll have to go custom with this though. Medium with the length of the long.
I'm trying to pay for all my bikepacking gear with money off my old bike stuff rather than spend the money in my pocket. I'm getting the dearest items out of the way first...already bought a Ti hardtail and Terra Nova tent, frame bags are on order too. I'd better hurry up and get the rest of it if I'm going to get out a few times this year! :D

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for any 900fill garments to ever make it into their regular sales :(

The Minim 300 really does make for a fantastic 2-3 season bag especially seeing as the Alpkit PD400 is somewhat awol.

Need some warm wear, they look super light jackets, anyone have one?
Does that mean their sale starts at 00:00 on the 20th

For general winter use and if weight and packsize are an important part of your choices then the minimus is an absolutely brilliant jacket and compared to other high street brands the spec. for the money is actually hard to beat (unless you get lucky with a good discount).

If packed tighly it stuffs to about 1L.

If your looking for something super warm for far more extreme temperatures then the Yukon is more your thing.

IIRC the sale will go live 0.00 on the 20th and if there is something you really want then be quick as a lot of people wait just for the sale to buy the kit that regularly gets made specifically for it. The minimus vest, minim 300/500 are always on it for example and are very popular. Unfortunately you also have to take into account the £10!!!!!! postage rate when pricing up your 'bargain'

If I had a spare £200 I would like the Minim 500 but as I have a load of fairly new sleeping bags a new one of this value may stretch the wife's patience ;)

Very very tempted to upgrade to a Minim 500 too. Must resist.

Anyone want to buy a PD800, bought Jan, used about 4 times? :!:

I specifically signed on for this but new (to me) FS, bikepacking gear off the lovely Pawel and a bunch of other purchases make it highly unlikely. Struggling to justify a Tesco bag now they've gone back up to £40 :roll:

Grabbed a minimus jacket, slightly dissapointed that I didn't read the small print and it's a 30 day delivery, :( oh well. if a sudden cold spell appears it will be my fault!

Fret not, my Minimus vest arrived the next day from their spring sale. I think they pre-make quite a few items.

I didn't fret, which is just as well as it has now arrived.
It's allowed to get cold now :twisted:
