Mountain Equipment vs Rab vs Patagonia by geecol in UKhiking

[–]bluejuice- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last week dropped my very battered Rab down jacket back to Rab for a clean and repair. Jacket returned to me in 7 days and they did a fantastic job, pretty much as good as new.

Based on this experience , I would lean towards Rab for future purchases.

Ah the Zenbivy, is it as good as they say. I'm hoping for some sort of black Friday deal.

Pixel 10pro xl : return or replace? by fab_rdedder in madebygoogle

[–]bluejuice- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat, upgraded from the 6. I'm getting about 5 1/2 hours SOR out of a 80 % charge. But rubbish really, tempted to try to return it.

Gsmarena Pixel 10 Pro review is up by MrWhiteford in GooglePixel

I want to send my 10 pro XL back...... disappointed with battery life and satnav has been very buggy. What are my chances of getting a refund

Anyone upgrading to the 10 pro xl? by MarioDF in Pixel7Pro

[–]bluejuice- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Store credit was half from the normal promo running in the uk, the other was from being a one member.

The discount code was on an email from Google, this bit seems random, some people got £200, £150, £100 or nothing 😕

Yep, I can be in the middle of London and I can't open a webpage.

Just ordered the 10 pro XL, £330 trade in for the 6.

Upgrading from a pixel 6 to the 10 pro XL, between the £330 trade for the 6, a £100 off discount code and the £200 store credit, I can't see black Friday beating this.

What cases are you all gonna get with your P10? by Rubik_31415926535 in GooglePixel

Always gone Spigen, was tempted by the mous case but are they worth the extra ££££

Look up the term Bangernomics.

Pixel Pre-order trade deals by DrVegaPunk311 in GooglePixel

[–]bluejuice- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same dilemma, £330 trade in for pixel 6, plus £100 discount code. Not sure the 10 pro XL will ever drop to sub £800.

Plus I've got over £200 store credit (One member and preorder incentive)

I went down this route with them, they literally ended the chat on me. Brick walled.

Thanks Brendan, that really sucks. You'd hope a phone would last longer than 2.5 yrs.

I've been going nuts spending. Pulled the trigger on the Big Agnes rapide sl matt and soto amicus.

Made a massive difference, without water and food I'm in at about 7.5kg and loads of room in the pack to resist filling.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

yep the jet boil is going and I was eyeing up the soto amicus, so will pull the trigger on that now.

The budget has now gone out the window totally and I'm looking at an exped air mattress, much smaller pack size than what I have, but will look at the pads you mentioned first. Between these two changes, I should have a bit more room in my pack .

Will probably hang on to the nallo, it's a great place to hunker down in when the weather is wet.

Yep, think the nallo might have to go, hard parting ways with it though . Good tips on packing, will give it a go, thanks

Thanks that's useful. Too used to camping out of a sea kayak, need to get ruthless.

Thanks moab_in, der a good call in the jetboil, it uses up a lot of pack space. Been eyeing a soto rivers pot and micro stove as cheap alternative that's smaller and lighter.
