No More Palaver With Your Java...

At last, the long-awaited answer to the camping coffee catastrophes that deluge your down and dampen your dedication...

If you're one of those people who's always pouring coffee over their sleeping bag / spare clothing / partner / dog / floor of the tent while camping, then we might just have the answer for you.

The Coffee Sling is an ingenious gizmo from American tent specialists Sierra Designs and it's now available in the UK. Essentially it's a cunning loop that hangs from the roof of your tent and accommodates an insulated mug full of your fave hot beverage.

Think hammock for your drink, no more coffee-stained sleeping bags and less delicate mincing around teetering mugs of coffee. You can drink from the mug while it's safely swinging in mid-air. Of course, if you're anything like us, you'll merely end up head-butting the thing and delivering and air-borne, further penetrating blast of liquid as a result, but hey...

Price is around £12.50 for two Coffee Slings, weight is just 85 grammes per sling and as far as we can make out, they should work in any tent with a central hanging loop. For stockist information call: 01395 443789.
