Watershed Ocoee drybag 
Astral Greenjacket PFD
Sweet Protection Wanderer helmet
Alpkit Brukit stove \/ boiler<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longest serving item:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve recently had a bit of a kit replacement \/ upgrade so it would probably be the Typhoon MS4 dry suit which I have to say has been excellent as its now into its 5th (I think) winter, the neck and wrist seals were replaced beginning of last autumn and the suit was pressure tested by Typhoon and all was still good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alpkit Brukit, after all who doesn’t love a fresh brew when you’ve just got off the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newest Item:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet Protection Wanderer helmet as always with Sweet an excellent product super comfy straight out the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
