I asked them (Hathersage) and it's £100 to try and do it with no guarantee as they've not done it before Shirley it would be easier to flog your Kloke and buy a new bivvy that would take your existing mat...?

Have you approached Alpkit to do the modification? That way it will still be breathable ,tape- sealed l and warrantied. All it takes is a crease and a mis-stitch (after double checking :geek: ) and you have a extra line of needle holes in a panel. Aka a leak) (Don't ask me how I know). :oops: I ask...

I have that they had emailed back saying which store has seconds, which h I'll call tomorrow

Has anyone got the link that they could put up here to Karl's Alaska spot tracker please

Thanks Stuart, The only reason for thinking about this is that I know that I won't use the Kloke any more with a tapered mattress. I do like to bivi bag every so often instead of my Luna Solo depending on the trip type. The Kloke is brilliant, but I know that I won't use it if my go to mattress and ...
