Seems like the boys at ME have buggered their website up somehow!

I'm glad you said that as I am as many of you know pretty computer illiterate but all I got was a lot of little boxes with crosses in the top left?

However while we are on the subject of ME.

I have a wonderful Atlas 750 down bag for winter use but last time out I noticed it was very damp in the morning. So I was trying to get onto ME to ask about reproofing the outer because it used to shed water, it's about six years old. Can I just spray something like Nickwax or Grangers on? Or should I send it back to the experts?

Funny thing my job is a web designer and from what I can make out the ME site hasn't been uploaded correctly, even the homepage is called index.jpg. Either all the images are yet to be transfered or sometimes file associations get confused and its a bugger to sort out!

I believe somebody is for the high jump!

As for care to ME products or any other if I have a problem I always try to send it back to manufacturer, maybe I'm just too careful but at least ask them for some advice before you take the plunge.

Yes! it's an ME Glacier 800 XL series 3.

Why I said it was an Atlas 750 is completely beyond me, just put it down to my utter stupidity!!!
But it did come with a specially treated outer to repel moisture which has worked well up to now, and I would like to re-do it.
