TECHNICALS Tibet 35 Rucksack

Product Information

Much the same for a sleeping bag - local retail items tended to be heavy and not cheap. Again Florida provided an answer - the comparison was the stated temperature range - about 0.4 kg for 5 oC compared to 1.5 kg locally.

So I guess my point is. I try to use ultralite gear where it makes sense, but where I know that something will aid me 'getting there' and help reduce discomfort along the way, I'll think seriously of adding it. What works very well for myself is using a very light shorts (atm a 110g one, but theres even lighter ones) for walking the warm days, and a slightly more sturdy zip-off pant. A huge benefit of them is that you are able to wash the parts that get dirty the most (legs) while you can still wear the knee length short. (Thanks to James from Barcelona for giving me this tip). Also if you get one of those with a lengthwise zipper aswell you can put the leg part on and of without having to get out of your shoes. Really good if it was raining for a while and you are on one of those muddy parts.The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first. Price – as you’d expect the price of a product can be an instantly recognisable factor on what sort of quality you can expect. Whoever came up with the phrase “you get what you pay for” pretty much hit the nail on the head. Whilst it’s not always the case and there are many bargains to be had, you can as a general rule, expect the higher priced products to offer better quality than a the cheapest option. We’ll dive into the price of Technicals Tibet 35 in more detail in a moment. You can shorten pants. If given my own choice, such as by making a garment, I take out an inch above the knee and another one below it.

My approach works for me. A late 30s guy, reasonably fit, reasonably healthy, wearing a mens medium most of the times. Theres people of bigger size or with medical conditions that can add a lot of weight and that can change things completely and my approach might not work. Of course, if you have the money and it gives you pleasure, buy an ultra light sleeping bag that weighs only 50 grams, keeps you warm to -70 degrees Celsius and costs 2000 euros.Bags within bags. Some degree of organisation is clearly necessary - but does everything have to be in its own bag? Edit: that is what I originally wrote as that is what the adverts said but they lie!! as I just weighed it and it is 840 grams - dang! - still light and still a bargain though. pair underpants (my usual cotton trunks for total comfort as I don't wear anything synthetic against my skin - too smelly, too sweaty, just too horrid)

So far local solutions for these two items totalled about 3.0 kg compared to under 1.0 kg from the Florida manufacturer.Then I choose to carry a Physio roller! It was a life-saver last time in helping to massively reduce the pain of shin splints and other injuries. This time I have cut it shorter to reduce the weight to just 190 gms. There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it.
