Revelate Sweet Roll & Dry bag?

Hi I was wondering if anyone has any experience in using the Revelate Sweet-roll (2013 model) and whether it is worth/should be combining with a dry-bag inside it - primarily I want to use it to carry a sleeping bag, I have a Rab ascent 500. I see from other forums that the sweet roll was not 100% w...

Aidster - Do you know that you can now buy Revelate gear here in the UK? I realise it probably doesn't matter now.. Hi, yes I do now but as you say bit late now. I did check out the UK site but at the time there was no stock and i was impatient one thing led to another and 'hello custom charge' :-)

Re: Duty charges from the US - have I just been unlucky?

I've recently ordered some items direct from Revelate (a sweet-roll & tangle), stung for an extra £46 for VAT and Parcel Force handling charges, on top of delivery changes. A couple of month earlier i order a Revelate Varachha from Veloista in Switzerland, no problems there. Not Eric's fault but...

Re: wingnut 2.5?? worth it

I've also got a Wingnut Hyper 3 recently, along with a Camelbak Antidote 3L reservoir. Both work together well. Lovely lightweight and well made pack. I've only done a couple of small rides with it so far but so far so good. Can't disagree that 70 kings and queens and no reservoir ain't cheap - but ...
