After 2 days of rather dull things (slave cylinder for the van, some fittings for RF stoves) the lovely Llyn brought me a secondhand TN Discovery-lite bivvy bag ... doesn't actually appear to have been used, can't argue for £30 delivered

Wildcat Gear Tiger in medium flavour....

Thought it was about time I got some purpose made BP luggage stuff. Has to be easier than strapping stuff everywhere with straps and guesswork.

Very nice!

Where did you find that?

Outdoors magic

Some Walleva Oakley lenses. Look good and a lot cheaper than Oakley replacements. Some new DHB spandex too in the Wiggle sale.

Let us know how you get on with them please. I need some yellow ones for riding at night...

Wore them today. Got blue iridium ones. They're a good fit in the radar frame and as clear as my Oakley ones. I'm going to order a clear lens next...

WALLEVA20 for 20% discount and free shipping. They offer free returns and refund if you're unhappy.

Planet X Price Drop Sale:

Thomson post for the Scandal - just realised that I-beam is not really compatible with the seat harnesses I've got

Various Podsac event bottom dry bags - because a man can't have enough dry bags!

Bunch of High 5 bottles with all the freebies in. Again, you can't have too many bottles (that don't leak) especially when the kids get hold of them and chew the hell out of the spouts.

Direct fit mech mount in case the Fireline and a 1x10 set up doesn't work out. Was cheaper to buy it now on the off chance than buy on its own and pay nearly double with postage (any damn excuse )

What about the anti-mist (and scratch for that matter) side of things? That's gonna be a bit more crucial as they'll be used at night/winter when they condense more easily....although the vents will still work I guess.

I've only used them today and I'm not careless enough to scratch them yet!

I went for vented ones but it's not been "misting" weather here today so not sure how they'll be. To be honest, my Oakley lenses were really clear but misted often and are fairly scratched now.
I'll let you know how I get on but you're looking at a different application to me as I wear clear lenses for night riding and am using Bolle safety glasses at the moment.

If you have misting issues, Cat Crap used to be great in my motorcycling days:

http://ekusa.com/cat-crap about £4 on eBay.

Wild Country Zephyros 2 here. Mainly for me and my son to get out together.

Today the postie brought me a pair of graduated neutral density filters for the SLR, an ND4 and an ND8 to go with the ND2 I've already got. Now waiting on a pair of 16gb cards and a mounting ring for the filters for my 10-20mm lens. Not bikepacking kit, but will be used on bikepacking trips! Next purchase, a Gorillapod SLR-Zoom

Some additions for Fargo to aid long haul comfort; a Syntace P6 Hi-flex post and Deda Tri-bars

Well, a fella's gotta dream, right?

I've got 2 Hi-Flex posts, the 27.2 one is very good

Sorry for this but I need to vent some anger at the postman (well, DHL fella) as he has most definitely NOT been!!!

I'm waiting for a cassette and chain from CRC and paid top dollar for express delivery only to see online that they'd 'tried to deliver but the recipient wasn't home' - bullsh*t, I was in all day!

I reckon they realised they didn't have time to get through everything and decided to just claim that I was out.

I need to get my bike fixed up before a trip (leaving on Monday evening) and they're now saying that it will be delivered on Monday and so no room for another mistake (or time to test the bike which was the idea).

Very bloody frustrating!

I'm with you on that Gairy. Postal service is shocking at the moment - two items lost in post this month, one failed to be delivered within the time specified, and I'm still waiting for my bloody bivvy bag!

I'll be testing mine this weekend so it might well be for sale monday!

It may just be sods law but it always seems that paying for express delivery / next day / really dead quick is like the kiss of death ... it always feels like it's those orders that go astray

Yeah, but I was so close!

I was watching the parcels progress online and it moved seamlessly through the country and was out on the road by 8 in the morning the next day - I thought nothing could go wrong!

I'd definitely have been better off using regular postage now it's not going to be here until after the weekend.

Buggeroo!

Thats reasuring, its my first carbon post and I still have images of all those fractured posts from 8-10 years ago in the back of my mind. I was hoping to spend less but after doing a lot of reading round this seemed to be the only one that offered the strength, comfort and reliabilaty I wanted.

Not actual size.
Think "box of matches".

I have one of those sat on the shelf, waiting to put on the bike. Get great reviews apparently resolving all issues regarding weather proofing and finicky iPhone charging requirements... And TINY! In real life.

I did notice that it 1a Max charging at 9pmh thats a but higher current than a Plug2, and achieved at lower speeds but that will depend on wheel size
