Thread: Kaweka Gear Dyneema products my review

PS - copes with wind pretty well, plenty of tie down points. Welcome to come out and have a look, it's been set up on the front lawn more than anywhere else.

Chilly Bin - WTF?!

We’ll call it even, haha. What about the gas bottle, looks like we dragged it behind the ute

LOL - yeah, still scratching my head on that one...but even you wouldn't drag a full 9kg LPG bottle behind the Hilux. I mean, it's already struggling on the riverbed as it is.

Where did you buy the duplex from?

Zpack.

@dannyb do you have a contact for Dillon at kaweka Gear? He doesn’t seem to be on TM at the mo and I can’t find him even with Google.

I've got a Zpacks Duplex tent, thermarest neo air, and some UL quilts (eg Loco Libre). This would be worth a look for a UL sleeping bag: https://www.thermarest.com/ie/sleepi....html?srd=true Also a Granite Gear UL 60L pack (weighs under 1kg from memory).

I need to start using instead of collecting this stuff, and in my case the best weight saving I could make is on the operator.

@Tikka7mm08 I've got both the Hyperion the sleeping bag and the Vesper Quilt, Neo Air Uberlite and MSR carbon reflex 2. Serious weight savings without much compromise.

Great combo!

@Tikka7mm08
What loco liber quilt do you use ?
And what are its pros and cons

I tried a macpac quilt and took it back for a full refund.
Absolute rubbish and not true to advertising.

A decent 2 season camping and 3 season hut down bag or quilt is the only gear gap i have.

Yeah Macpac are rubbish...trying to cash in on quilt trend. I gotthe ghost pepper. Will grab a photo when home from work.

EE (enlightened equipment) make a decent quilt, I have had one for a few years now and they seem to be getting better. With more variants and options.
