What's Your Latest Walking Kit Purchase?

A Camelbak Arete 18 with Antidote bladder from this post -

 



I read a review for the Arete 18 on Amazon, that said it came with a previous generation of the Antidote bladder, that doesn't have the Quicklink system.


Maybe that's why they're so cheap.


Be interesting to find out if you get the older bladder or the latest one, and if having a bladder without the Quicklink system bothers you?


I still think it's a bargain though for the price.


EDIT


It does say you get the Quicklink System Antidote bladder in the description.

Dexshell Beanie, given to me as a present. Seems pretty good, windproof and waterproof. Almost no membrane rustle.

A pair of Rab Trek gaiters

This weekend I have not incurred unreasonable costs. I have made shrewd long term investments. That's how I have packaged the purchase of new winter boots (Mammut GTX), Rab Accent 900 sleeping bag, G10 Grivel crampons and a "T" rated ice axe also Grivel.
Have to confess Mrs G has not, as yet, responded.

I must confess to splashing out on yet another rucksack, a second-hand ULA CDT (it's American) very lightweight. Some new socks and some gaiters to fit my trail running shoes.

Oh dear,  I think she probably will ......     What did 'The Stranglers' say (sing) ..." He got an ice pick, that made his ears burn "

Scarpa Delta GTX. 

[Bhod]

Montane Prism gloves and what an absolute brilliant choice, very lightweight, very very warm amd very comfortable, looking forward to the weather getting colder so I can really put them to the test.

Marmot expedition mitts and a lovely bit of kit

Montane Sabretooth jacket - really chuffed with this.  Only used twice in anger so far - a claggy day on Coniston fells and a clear chilly day on Seat Sandal, both with just this and a couple of thin baselayers and felt perfect.  I get very hot and incredibly sweaty  - this jacket seems to be very good at not making me boil over!  Recommended.

A Haglöfs Nejd 65l and some material to build a toboggan/pulk.

Just treated myself to a new waterproof with some Christmas money.  Rab Spark purchased from Go Outdoors for £110

[nesty]

At Christmas I added a Paramo Helki to my collection.
I already have a Paramo Cascada which is good for usual walking days. Though wanted a more shorter jacket which I could wear with backpack etc in case I go further up levels.
Quite nice I have to say!   

[FOX160]

Tarptent Motrail which as reduced my pack weight by 880grams

[Mel]

I've just bought an Osprey Tempest 20 Daypack brand new from GO for £37 
 
I'm really rather chuffed with that
