Kit for the tall guys
« on: March 18, 2012 »

Hey all,
I've got my Big bro into this hillwalking malarky and hopefully into camping. He is 6ft 5 and would like suggestions from you guys on kit, particularly sleeping bags and bivvi bags.
Cheers,

Ex army bags and bivouac bags come in different sizes, ur best bet is to check eBay or call into Smithfield market in belfast they allways have extra large gear in stock, I,m 6.1 and have tesco luxury bag, sounds crap but it's good for minus 10 and it has lots of room to move...
