Depends if weight or swim size was an issue.

Good call. Size isn't an issue. Weight a bit more...

Yes, that's what I thought but a few stories about sitting on the bed hair and your head touching the roof 'scare' me.

I'm not tall, only 1.81m long.

Pricing will need to be sharper than it is on some other products, for example Cyprinus Trakker Tempest Brolly v2 skull cap is £75, can get the Trakker one for about a tenner more. Not that I'm saying £10 is nothing, but i'd buy the Tracker one for what the difference is.

Obvious really, The £300 Aqua brolly/£150 Cyrprinus equivalent makes perfect sense which way to swing, but £10 or £20 here and there on more costly items doesn't wow me personally!

Easy really, if you ever wanted to sell the stuff on and laid the Cyprinus/Trakker out side by side and the difference amounts to £10 or £20, assuming condition of the gear to be the same I guarantee the Trakker would sell 1st all day long and you'll more than likely get the extra you paid back. Now think the same but the Cyprinus gear is £50 less because you bought it considerably cheaper? Bit more to think about!

Look at it another way, now we all seem to know or believe that the Cyprinus Camo4 brolly is the exact same as the Aqua F&L, but there's £150 difference, why would you ever buy the Aqua for twice the price!?!!

That's the wow effect the Cyprinus pricing has to have for me to consider buying it, not that I doubt the quality is good enough and not because I intentionally buy to sell, but that seems to be the reality...

Hmmm, where has quality gone at Aqua?

I really like Cotswold Aquarius gear, but you're gonna need another mortgage for that stuff.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
