Hi All,
I want to write reviews for some of my gear:
Gregory Triconi 60ltr pack
Alpkit Alpine Dream 700
Tera Nova Discovery Light Bivvy
Boojum hydration bladder
and others but they don't exist in the gear section where you attach reviews - can the technically able help please?
Quick high level overview:
Gregory Triconi: Brilliant, back system is the best I have ever tried - I walked all day with 19kgs (I loaded it up hard with like 8ltrs of water to make it heavy for a test) and I forgot it was on. The back system is so good and easy to shift the weight arond with the pack on. I will only be getting Gregory packs from now on. Bad stuff - reasonably water resistant but 4 hours in the storm on the brecons last weekend it got a bit damp inside - and then it took 2 days to dry. A bit tricky to pack, took me 3 hours the first time (mostly due to the small dam of water I was carrying)
Alpkit ALpine Dream 700 - toasty, lofts like a ninja, very, very warm. Bad stuff - compression sack looks water resistant - it isn't... that's it, why you would buy a more expensive Rab I have no idea
Bivvy - great and small enough to put the sleeping bag into it and then both into the compression sack and still fit in the bottom of the Gregory. Didn't use it properly though
Boojums - strong and made of that rubbery stuff that doesn't kink in the pipes (like Platty ones). Had a wierd taste - just like the camelbaks which went away after the first use. 10 quid for a 2ltr, exactly the same as a camelbak, why go anywhere else?
