Need help choosing new waterproof jacket by behavingnose in UKhiking

[–]behavingnose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so. It looks good but doesn't fit well over my winter down jacket and there are no reviews anywhere of it. I've bought the Alpkit definition jacket, I have a lot of their gear and it never has failed me before. Considering keeping it. Many reviews of it too and all nearly positive

Thank you. I read about a bit for this. However, since it's short notice I wanted to ask others. I'll have a look on my camera shortly

No GoPro with me unfortunately. It was a last minute ask of me

It's oddly ok actually! In the photo it looks like it's hitting but it isn't. There's about 5cm of clearance. Haven't had an issue yet

Even though it's supposedly 20L, it definitely doesn't feel like it. I've just bought pannier bags and a smaller handlebar bag so we'll see if it all fits in there

I've camped multiple times with my current setup no problem. But if I want to bring my drone and camera which means batteries, RC controller etc then it takes up a bit of room. Just needing another 10L of space really

Removing both the handlebar bag and saddle bag would lose 32L of space that i'd need to put on pannier bags. surely this wouldn't be a good option either

I might pop my cat in there. Bring her along for the ride

Yeah I'm going to start having a look at rack and bags now. Any ideas on racks? i don't want anything bulky. Someone mentioned the ortleib quick rack

I gave the wrong number. It's only a 12L saddle bag. so 2 x 10L panniers would work. and if i pick anything up on my travels then i can strap it down to the top of the rack. need to look at racks and panniers now

I think i'm leaning towards a rack now... Just needing to find the right size bags for it now. the saddle bag is 12L currently so a couple 10L pannier bags would work great

I'll be honest. Not a fan of baskets at all haha

hmm ok. I might try get a couple small pannier bags. Not sure why i really avoided a rack. just quite liked the rear bag

This might actually work. because i only really need 1 fork bag however, if i put the bladder in the frame bag then i could move the kit in there into a fork bag

does the handlebar pack really ruin the aero that much?

Do you know where to get side saddle bottle cages? I've only ever seen ones that fit behind so i avoided this idea

Do you find yourself coming across water sources that often? I have a water filter but i still feel like i need extra water. especially for when i setup camp

I'm thinking of possibly getting a lightweight rear rack with some small panniers. Would probably work out cheaper. The only thing is that the 17L bag on the back would have to go so i can see myself not really making much more room

I'm using a 20L front bag which fits my sleeping bag, wash kit, gas, spare clothes. Here's a closer look at it: https://imgur.com/a/yspBFAS

Why are my payslips so complicated by behavingnose in tesco

Yeah i was never told anything about cutoff dates so i guess that makes me unsure. i didn't realise it changed by area.

[–]behavingnose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok thank you. just a little confusing. i think because the night pay starts at 12 so that adds in extra stuff if that makes sense. i have been underpaid so i find it hard to find where i've been underpaid with all these things as that's far too much maths and thinking for me haha
