I know but BPL want $ registration member to even post in their classified. Bloody American capitalists

Steve if you want to post for me.....

I know some USA-located members here.

For Sale. Terra Nova Laser Competition. Excellent condition, all original parts. Evidence of use from underneath of groundsheet but not damaged, no holes.

Will post within USA.

Anyone interested PM me offers.

Wearing mine now, it is a no-nonsense bombproof warm handle-rain type outer layer.

I notice the 10% price increase on PHD's site which is no surprise and why I bought it, quality improves slowly, price increase increase more quickly.

I bought at 205 - 10% discount it is now 224.

Don't want to get into the justification of inflation point, but more into the buy quality buy once point.

The hood is bloody marvelous, makes a real difference. The long back length is bloody marvelous. The sleeves are too long but the wrist cinches work ok and it means I don't really need to wear gloves which makes everything easier.

It squishes about 2x to 2.5x larger for the same level of insulation as 800fp down but its damp-proof is real..

I got plenty of PHD, but the little regret-ette is I got the Ultra Down Vest in a sale and its fantastic for "it could never be possibly be that cold" and I've worn it, mostly for summer chill, but I'd like the Ultra Down Pullover otherwise. Having had it 2 winters now, I wish I'd got the pullover.

Here they go again. Looks quite imaginative in places this time round. Hooded vests, yukons with camera pockets etc.

Curious that they've gone for 250 and 450 minims instead of 300 and 500 this time. Maybe they're trying to catch obsessive completionists

Yes I got the email too.

I found my Minim 300 to be just enough if anything a little cold and I'd not want a Minim 250. I'd prefer a Minim 350. Minim 450 probably over-kill for the situations my 300 is almost-enough.
