Is that including the laggy bands?

Yes it is. If you'd care to speculate the weight of 2 elastic bands and the potential weight saving that could result, be my guest

Wildcat Mountain Lion.

What a lovely looking piece of kit it is too. Hoping to test on Friday night 8-)

Two people ultralight in the Alps, will also be shelter in Iceland. Masses of space for two, dead easy to pitch, two poles set to 120cm, took 5 minutes to put it up.



with rear pole set to 135-140cm



even has pockets for gear in the sides, will easily house two and gear

Obviously you're aware that that is actually a TARP!!!

Yes I had noticed, but it's way more of a tarp than a SilTarp, it's a halfway house, offers plenty of protection, weight is low. Reminds me of the MSR twin peaks I had years ago, although more tarp than that :) it has more space than my Vario tent, and weighs loads less, pack size is considerably smaller too. Other than the odd thunderstorm the Alps should hopefully be dryer than Wales

Nice Morvelo jersey turned up today, just in time to get covered in WRT mud and rain :)

This morning I took delivery of my new Six Moons 'Skyscape Scout' tent - HELL YEAH!!!

I luckily dodged the customs bullet (which is nice) and will most likely post a picture later when I get a chance to set it up and climb inside.

Can anyone recommend a good seam-sealer???

have been busy re-building my road bike for it's first trip of the year this weekend!

Not the post man, went to the shops and left with one pair Ergon G1 ergonomic grips and one Frontier Pro water filter. Grips are comfy, filter yet to be tested.

Not been yet but hopefully will have been in time for then Glen Orchy gathering, just ordered a full set of Revelate stuff from Veloista in Switzerland, they said a week for delivery.....everything currently crossed!!!

Just received one of these, a Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Day Pack...

Brilliant little thing & only 70 grams on my scales. Could really have done with this at the weekend so I wasn't carrying supplies in a carrier bag on my handlebars for the few miles to the bivy spot :D
