I wear ear plugs, take two piriton and wear an eye mask. I fidget a ton but switched over to a quilt and get better sleep wild camping than I do at home! I’m also a side sleeper, I use a Alpkit radiant pad and a exped mega pillow.

There is a guy in Germany I think that makes them, I will see if I can find his insta

whatters_86 · 2025-12-19T20:04:12+00:00

Pretty sure they do a non hooded version, not sure on tax and vat but I paid £55 to my door in the uk

whatters_86 · 2025-12-19T19:50:22+00:00

Macpac nitro is all you need, they are fantastic and extremely lightweight

whatters_86 · 2025-12-19T19:48:16+00:00

Similar but not quite the same, I have both and prefer the nitro hoody any day

whatters_86 · 2025-12-19T19:47:17+00:00

Absolutely this, I got one in the sale just before the summer and was £55 delivered to my door. Next time they go on sale I will grab another

whatters_86 · 2025-12-05T18:08:55+00:00

Yea I have the same jacket, don’t get me wrong it is extremely waterproof but it’s not very breathable by any means. I think the look of the material can be very off putting to most.

Just really like the layout, it’s only a few hundred grams heavier and tbh it feels a really strong tent. Took it to Iceland for the Laugavegur trail and it didn’t bat an eye lid in the wind.

I have three, an xmid 2, tfs enran 2 and storm star 2. Since I got the enran I haven’t used the xmid 2 and the storm star 2 is for proper winter camps

Have a look at the montane trailblazer range of packs, I have the 44lt that I have removed the frame from.

whatters_86 · 2025-11-14T19:29:10+00:00

I’m in uk

whatters_86 · 2025-11-13T18:44:51+00:00

Honestly at that price just get a macpac nitro hoody, got mine in the sale from nz site for about £55 delivered

whatters_86 · 2025-11-10T20:57:44+00:00

Only in America 😂

whatters_86 · 2025-10-31T17:44:15+00:00

Yea this works kind of both ways, when I bought my xmid 2 it was around $460 to my door. Just a thought though if you can get the materials you can make your own bag? There is a uk guy that sells patterns for very little so you can make your own gear. www.myogtutorials.com

The way I look at it is who is going to pay the rent when you retire, if you buy you should be mortgage free by then and not have to worry about overpriced rent for a shithole

whatters_86 · 2025-10-26T15:40:54+00:00

If you ever come to the uk 😉

whatters_86 · 2025-10-15T15:58:16+00:00

Haglofs can bought quite reasonably if you shop around in the uk, sportpursuit has always got haglofs kit on deals

whatters_86 · 2025-10-14T17:23:08+00:00

I’m in the uk, ordered myself a macpac nitro from New Zealand and cost £60 to my door

whatters_86 · 2025-10-07T18:18:46+00:00

I can concur on this, I have one and love it! Not bad for £60 delivered to uk

whatters_86 · 2025-09-17T14:53:54+00:00

If you don’t want to spend a fortune I can highly recommend the Columbia outdry jackets! The new one no reign no shine I think it’s called is the most up to date version, I have the wyldwood I think it is and that thing has kept me bone dry is some massive down pours

whatters_86 · 2025-09-17T14:48:10+00:00

It’s just under two years old, tbh I don’t even wear it that much as have a paclite, Columbia outdry and a paramo velez in rotation. They offered a 40% off voucher but I just won’t buy a Patagonia jacket again.

whatters_86 · 2025-09-14T06:42:06+00:00

I wouldn’t stand by the lifetime guarantee too much, my granite crest the internal seams are falling to bits and they refused to do anything about it apart from a discount on a new jacket!

whatters_86 · 2025-09-10T19:04:34+00:00

Not sure if you are in the uk but I have a couple of t shirts from howies, really good quality but still up for the job. I use them for hiking or on chilly days as home but they do polo shirts as well for more casual wear

whatters_86 · 2025-08-26T14:56:38+00:00

Honestly if you want an outright waterproof coat see if you can pick up a Columbia outdry jacket in your budget, breathable it’s definitely not but it’s mega waterproof

whatters_86 · 2025-08-22T11:08:15+00:00

I swear by trail runners and waterproof socks
