Once they're here I'll let you know and there *might* be a spare as I am a sucker for a BOGOF. However, IIRC som...

Re: Xlite 100 Smart Rear light

I agree re seat pack and thoughts, looked interesting for commuting with a standard light as well. Didn't mean to sound too dismissive, definitely an interesting concept for a rear light. Not sure I personally am ready for it though :lol: You don’t sound too dismissive, I asked for thoughts.

Has anyone got some real world experience of them, the smart detection of braking making it turn on bright like a brake light sounds appealing.

Re: Modifying an Army Bivi Bag

Phase 1
draw cord replaced with shock cord
Adjust with cord locks in three places - original and both shoulder .
So it can be tight round you, but the hood remains lose like a flap.

Modifying an Army Bivi Bag

Has anyone added a side zip, hoop or hood?
Or even added an extra strip of material to increase the volume to get a mat inside?

Looking for ideas or examples, thanks

I assume you’re using shock cord like Warbonnet?
The downward pull of the tarp I would think also holds the joints together?
