This time of year is great for testing out your gear what works and what doesn't.
you know the saying, As snug as a bug in a rug, well how do you folks achieve this
on my last camping trip with our man george 12345 up in the mourn mountains in northern ireland last week , i honestly thaught i was going to freeze to death, my akto was disappointing as was my down alpkit sleeping bag, i ended up wearing all my cloths to try and keep warm.there was a cold draught blowing on the inside of the tent all night now it could be i didn't zip up the air vents properly but akto owners do you suffer the same problem , or was it a case i just pitched it all wrong. in my defence it was dark and a gale of freezing wind blowing hard.
as for the down sleeping bag this was its first winter outing i need a better bag any suggestions please.
gear that does what its supposed to do really well are
exped down mat 7
thermarest compressable large pillow
thorn sherpa bike
assos cycling gear
ortlieb bikepacker plus panniers
and a simple wool hat.
