The tracks to the southern end...

Re: Sea to Summit Aeros repair

Thanks everyone I will get an Exped I like the idea of being able to repair it should the need arise I put the pillow in a buff or similar to keep them clean so the surface doesn't matter .

Any ideas how to upcycle a non inflatable inflatable pillow ?

Re: Bargain Alert Thread

I was about to say the same thing as Stu it is definitely harder to squeeze than a standard bottle but it takes me considerably less effort and time to get 500!l of water from the bottle than when using my Trailshot.
