From this weekend in Lidl's.........poncho type rains protectors. Advert states that "it can also be used as a tent". It should be interesting to see what they look like.

This is a great piece of kit if you are wanting to travel light, I think it would be good for all the mountaineer's out there.

1600 grams? light? you crazy?

I don't want to harp on about them but I'd rather have the pro action with a fully enclosed space for that sort of money/weight!

Saw this today in Maplins.

A great little device. I've had one for about a year now and it's great for light duty work.

The pouch is about 6" wide and about 8" long by 2" deep. It comes with belt loop attachments.

Would recommend it to anyone who would be looking for such a thing.
