>>438948They both arrived yestermorning so I used Hogmanay as an excuse to flee the city and go out and try them. Here are my thoughts if anyone cares;
The Khumbu is great; lightweight, feels durable, good compression and a few nice features like the airflow back system. My only complaint would be that the advertised 50L capacity is somewhat adventurous as a description I'd say, the real value I'd put closer to 40-45 Litres in the main compartment but frankly, I won't be using this for more than 3 nights at a time really so that's not a worry.
Going onto the sleeping mat I don't think I can sing its praises enough at the price it is! It feels robust but is a very reasonable 640g, it kept me nice and warm last night - notably so compared to my old NATO roll mat - and came in at just £16! Chuffed to bits with it!
