Thanks for the info. Much appreciated 😀

Just wondered if anyone has tried washing their Bedchair sleeping bag? I’ve got the Sonik SK-Tec 5 season Bedchair - the sleeping bag says it’s washable but not to be tumble-dried. I’m just a bit worried that it’ll be like a wet dog if it can’t be dried out quickly! Just wondered what peoples experiences are with washing Bedchair sleeping bags?

Cheers

Yeah, that’s the stuff. It’s less than a third of the cost of the Daiwa equivalent but have subsequently read a few reviews to say it’s nothing like the stated BS, but then I don’t necessarily thing J-braid is either!

Hi

I normally use J-braid for my spod but on the spur of the moment, bought some Manster W8 in 27lb off Aliexpress. It’s obviously a lot cheaper but I’m now doubting my decision and wonder if I should have stuck with Daiwa.

Just wondered if anybody has any thoughts on Manster ? I normally use a MIDI spod to about 25 wraps.

Cheers

Another for sunblesa…. Absolutely spot on and not stupidly expensive

That's a fair point and I'm definitely guilty of taking to much with me…..in my defence, I really wanted the extra space so I could have enough room for a chair

Yes, they're doing them on TFT etc

Just wondered if there's any Tempest 150 bivvy owners on here and what they think of them please?

I can't justify an RS and this on the face of it seems a reasonable alternative that
still offers a 1.5 man that you can add an inner capsule to etc. I did look at a T1 but I see a lot of people mentioning pin holes.

I already have a tempest 100 in the 210D fabric, which I have to say has been pretty good - I could just do with a bit more space!

Many thanks

I've got a set of these. I use them with a 4.5 oz lead at about 28 wraps max and they seem fine. I'm far from an expert but just from the way they feel to me, my gut would say that 6oz at 100 yrds might be a bit of a push. I use them with braid so there's zero give compared to mono which I think is probably a bit harsher than if you were to use mono

Just wondered if there's any suggestion for a decent club water within about a 20 mile radius of Reigate? Doesn't have to have giants - perhaps a few decent 30's

Many thanks
