why anyone would go to rm for hooks,line or bivvys is beyond me. there are companys that do these specific items and have done for many years...yes they have to start somewhere but dont charge a premium price for an untested bivvy.
the only things theyve done themselves are crap, the buckets are moulded in a way that it takes ya nails off, the square cooker has no pre heat tube and failed very badly with flare ups.
the lights are rebadged, the toastie makers rebadged.
everything they do I regard as ***** get rich cheap nasty churn them out forbPenny's and charge top dollar for them.

are they like any other tackle company that are trying to make a living?? probably not but rm just dont cut it for me.

I have to say, I am not big on RM anymore.
Had a few bits of their kit and its nothing special. Just costs way more than other brands and for that reason I don't buy it anymore.

In my humble opinion, you can buy far better for far less than they charge these days. The do like to charge top dollar for all their kit.

Just look at the silly prices they are charging for their new line of bivvy's.

I've had the ridge monkey bivvy light since they 1st came out and its been great
Bought a NGT one as it was cheap as a spare and lent it to my son and it gave up after about 4 months
Bought a couple of gorilla cases recently as they were being sold cheap and do what they are meant to do - Yep ... I agree I most probably could have got something similar cheaper but Im happy with them

Who cares they're the same as all the others out there...some stuff is good some stuff is crap.

If you don't like it don't buy it...it's not like they've got your arm up your back is it ?

Toaster importing cowboys who have obviously drummed up some investment and are throwing the kitchen sink at it to take market share from the big boys. If they were cash rich they wouldn't be taking pre-orders for the bivvies. My prediction for what it's worth: They'll run out of money and go belly up in less than 5 years.
