I would likely have ordered wrong size from Atom if I hadn't had a fitting.

Aye. I sized smaller than I expected but agree with their fitting.

Robert, Im still not sure on the Chillcheaters as yet but am sure with time I will learn more with use, Im more used to mil grade sealskinz which I swear by so will be a new venture.
The Ti is an itch Ive been wanting to scratch for a while in making a cone so when I get time as I have a lot on my plate with work & getting time away for the SUW I will get around to making one & seeing how we go with it, your pictures of new cones only makes me more determined to make one

With the Chillcheaters, use them over some normal socks (they are thin so don't take up too much volume, and this should help cushion any seams).Robert, Im still not sure on the Chillcheaters as yet but am sure with time I will learn more with use, Im more used to mil grade sealskinz which I swear by so will be a new venture.

It is a bonus if you get on with them, as they seem to be so much more durable than other waterproof socks (way more durable than normal Sealskinz, though I don't know if the military ones are better).

Yes, the plan was to use them with injinji liner toe socks under them, they are a 40g saving on the sealskinz, & really only a fallback should I need it as walking with wet feet is not me, it contradicts everything I have done for so many years. I love the mil grade sealsinz been using them for 20 years now & no complaints here, Its handy though being in a position to get them exchanged free of charge at work & very different to the normal shop bought ones as they are more designed for tabbing in with combat boots so much better quality.

Idu Light Ms Vest | Lundhags
Wear it now or bring it for later, whenever you need an extra warm layer. The neat, comfortable construction with innovative insulation material makes it both light and breathable, but also surprisingly warm for its weight.

The length. It would be okay over a layer or over a shell, but I find it's too long under a shell. Not worn it in the hills yet and wouldn't use it like I thought I might.

One of these. On eBay unused. Arrived today.
Trying it for summer.
Rotated with zip at bottom it works as a quilt without any straps. Might add a couple of tie outs and a neck snap
Might work ok as an over quilt too. Though a bit tight as an overbag

Yes, I love my Featherlight Moondance 25, but not from Amazon where they’ve bumped up the price by £15 in the month since I bought it.

Ah ok. Guess it's one of these generic ones then? Seem to look the same under many different names. What's the benefit over a regular nitecore? Just because it's a cheaper or?

I bought this a while back... So far it's been great and it's output and usable power has been impressive.
The cold weather rating along with the digital display sold it for me.
