loud red check is not me but the price definitely is - £26
I have one already that is now 6-7 years old, the lightwt. material has held up really well after much heavy use. One small hole on rear left shoulder which has not deteriorated despite being there a couple of years now...
just hope the new one doesn't have the self-opening button feature....

That's an oxymoron...You can't be both open minded and only willing to accept advice from a select few. Clearly you don't mind disrespecting everyone else's opinion, even if they can help you save a lot of weight, and your replies often have a nasty, condescending and aggressive tone. You need to lighten up (no pun intended).

That's rubbish Alf, if you walk all year round , especially in the mountains, you wouldn't say that, because you would just know the folly of taking very light inadequate clothing. You only make that mistake once.
Wear the lightest gear possible for the conditions you may face? Not just wear the lightest gear you've got, surely?

Obviously, but I have amassed outdoor clothing that is both ultralight and that can be used all year round.

Who said anything about accepting the opinion of only a select few? It's not about miles hiked or summits climbed, it's about people who offer advice and opinion based on something other than advertising copy, Youtube reviews and Lighterpack competitions.That's an oxymoron...You can't be both open minded and only willing to accept advice from a select few.

As SteG said, it's not about having the lightest gear in the world, it's about making the lightest selection of gear for what you want to do, where you're going and what you're comfortable with.
I don't ignore everyone else's opinion. Only a select few's.
And, to be honest, I will welcome your advice too... if I want to go camping for a night in the local woods or to apply for a circus act.

I've had the relevant person on ignore pretty much since I joined!
Or what to mark as "consumable" or "worn" on lighterpack to make your base weight reasonably light to try and ignore the fact that your overall kit isn't really, despite looking like it'd be horribly uncomfortable.And, to be honest, I will welcome your advice too... if I want to go camping for a night in the local woods or to apply for a circus act.

Thought to myself for a second: "who is this fellow causing a ruckus for no reason who I've never seen post on here before? Oh wait it's Tarptent - of course, now it makes sense!"

Do you use adequate sunscreen to protect the ears, neck, cheeks, nose and areas not protected by a cap?

No, he thinks they're too heavy and pointless. Skin cancer is a hoax spread by Nasa.

I don't need sunscreen on my neck or arms when I'm wearing my Rab Pulse sun hoody and my cap has a large brim which shields my entire face from the sun so don't need it on my face either. If I was to carry sunscreen it would be an ultralight lip balm stick with an SPF50 protection factor, which I have at home, and which weighs 10g.

Which reminds me, I emailed Rab, who confirmed the Pulse has now been discontinued & replaced with the Force Hoody

Probably adequate enough with SPF30 protection while the hood is up.

They don’t state the actual UPF level of protection in the splurb.

I know and unfortunately the Force weighs a lot more than the Pulse...153g in Medium vs 126g in Large. I think they have made a big mistake discontinuing it as was easily one of their most versatile tops.

Yeah such a shame. I needed a couple more as others have been damaged (long story).
[edit] The force hoody looks quite similar and no that much heavier. May grab a couple of those.
