Like them on FB and get a free 1L drybag. Sign up for their newsletter / follow the site over Xmas and there's usually a good offer on something each week.

Last week (sorry I was tardy) this http://www.over-board.co.uk/waterproof- ... black.html was half price.

Buy stuff and get a 15% discount code (OverboardV011).

If you've never had any of their stuff it comes from more of a watersport background, think Alpkit but sturdier (not a diss' just a context ;-) ).

It seems if you go to their FB page now they are offering free delivery and not the free dry bag, too late maybe?

These were next to me in the queue whilst I was waiting to pay so I thought I'd try them on, Blimey charlie they're warm.

I struggled with my conscious and stopped short of lashing the cash as it's never really that cold in the UK.

OR IS IT?

I'm still struggling to stop myself from returning to the shop.

HA! I tried them on to :D you must have got caught up in the same queues as us on boxing day. They did have some nice leather Berghaus GTX boots for £60 which we picked up for the brother in law, look good for the money.

Not knowing anything about titanium crockery but, is it worth the c.£10 extra over the Alpkit Mytimug?

The titan kettle is a wider pot than the Mytimug so it all depends on the stove you use.
I use the whitebox stove with the kettle and I wouldn't want anything narrower than that.

It's better made than a MyTiMug. The lid fits better.

I prefer the shape of the Mytimug though

OIC.

Given I've got a Hi Gear Blaze would it make either of the aforementioned (god's own metal) pots a better / worse choice?

Bought the M/L from Taunton Leisure for £55 before xmas.

Looking for a rain cover I came across this: http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/talon-22-s-m-p178581

in S/M its £35 :shock: You wont find them cheaper at any other time, I thought I got a bargain!

Just make sure the S/M size suits your back.

Just been in Go Outdoors collecting some last minute bits before M&B. Spotted Memory Map maps starting at £25 on sale. I think central England and Wales were £25/ea worth a look in store if your interested.

For those of you who like to carry an outdoor knife.

Cocraft branded Mora blades at Clas Olhson for £4.99. Identical to the Mora Clipper except for the colour.

Picked one up today after looking at the green Mora Clippers at the outdoor show yesterday which were priced at £13....
