I'm especially fond of the GoGo. Weighs less than 1kg and the airbeam technology is supposed to be stronger than traditional poles. Hopefully it won't be long untill someone rips it off and sells it at half the price!

The pump is internal, designed so you can slide into it when its raining and set it up from inside.

Cool they have thought of everything it must be some job if the internal poles are stronger than normal poles. As you say hopfully someone will copy idea :)

Aye, they do indeed seem to have thought of everything.

I'd be wondering where to keep my rucksack though, for there's not much room inside for anything else. (Truth be told - there's not even enough room in it for me.....lol)

All in all, a great idea. And good use of the same technology that has been holding up bouncy castles for many years....lol

I love the bit where it says:

By the looks of it there is elbow room to spare, much in the same way a coffin has elbow room to spare ;)  Some cool looking gear on there, must bookmark the site for a nosey later.
