I bought their Windbreak for £3ish in Carrick about a month ago  ;D

Not sure how good it will be but I love a bargain. At worst I'm sure it could be modded as a tarp of some kind  ;D

Like this http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.205-0258.aspx

Very interested in those Micro Lite bags; thanks guys! It says it has a comfort rating of +13.2°C to +16.3°C and an extreme rating of +1.7°C.  I'm guessing that would suffice for most reasonable conditions?? Maybe add a liner?

Windbreaks are not waterproof. I have learnt this from experience,

This one is 'made of grey polyester tenting material'

No actual waterproof rating but for £3 I thought it was worth a go.

Like this  :)


I'll maybe get it out of the bag later to get a proper look at it.

I wonder if the £25 tent can still be found in store ??? Definitely worth a look if you're passing. Although they're probably cutting way back on camping stuff on the run up to Christmas. What sort of person would go camping at this time of the year??  :o ;D

Sorry for not answering sooner, perhaps you already have yours (mine arrived this morning)

Yup, double up in the really cold (that goes for any sleeping bags...why blow a tonne of cash on a expensive bag just for really cold weather than you can use two cheaper ones) No idea about the minimum temperature, defiantly below freezing since I've had ice form on my bivvy bag on a couple of occasions. Only time I've woken up code was on Commedagh Summit when I pushed  my feet under the tarp during the night :) Because they are soo cheap I've no worry about ruining them by jumping straight into it with my walking trousers on if I'm desperate, just throw them in the washing machine when I get back home..

As for size, may I introduce the new international standard of 1pt milk carton and value spaghetti:

   

It's like a lot of cheap kit, it's never going to compete with the high end stuff (and if Santa's good to you and you buy the expensive stuff you probably wont want to go back), but in most cases it's "good enough".
