My mistake, it is serious. I feel a test coming on for this kit. Durability, comfort, weatherproofing and of course wind potential.

It's a wind-up, unless the "Adolph's Tough Guy Meat Tenderizer superultramarathon" is a real event, in which case i take it back...

No, it's genuine. I've been in touch with the company and they're lining up a major UK distributor. You lot are soooo cynical.

Must be true, it was in TGO, and they're not known for their frivolity. Hmmm, the guys at Trail must be losing their touch...

Why would they be laughing at me? They seem like a very genuine bunch of guys and anyway, I contacted them by e-mail. It's dead straight I reckon. People always poke fun at unusual ideas.

These stories are just getting sillier and sillier, first the HSE regulations about climbing, then the altitude farting, then this.

Come on Jon, you're making these up !

yeah, but Jon, some of those ideas...

Heavier than air machines! If man was meant to fly God would have given us wings.

The world is round! Pah, how come we don't fall off then?

Women voting? Ridiculous. Voting requires thinking and if women think their brains get too hot and we'd be having fires all over the place!

They'd dissolve and everything would fall out of your pack... (if they were real).
