Like many we are looking at the forecast and considering our insulation more seriously than usual this year. The best option being to wear warmer clothing in bed rather than carry a heavier sleeping system, as you also get to wear it in camp too.

We had our Outdoor Show last weekend and the weather was sunny, lovely and warm, therefore the last remaining OMM 800+ Fill Finch Down Vests I brought in on clearance, didn't get the attention I expected. So I thought I would offer fellow Challengers a quick promotion as I have a few knocking about :)

Therefore if you use the promo code 'tgochallenge2015' you will be given an additional £15 discount off the current promo price of £109.99 (SRP £149.99) which I'm sure you'll see is a massive saving.

I'm also doing the same £15 discount (same code) on the past season Exped Lightning 60 packs which would bring them down to £94.99 too.

You can combine both items on the same order if you wish, so delivery would be free too.

Don't forget we also have stock the Montane Prism insulated Primaloft Trousers too (we are certainly taking ours) and of course the much discussed Gehwol Foot Cream and Refreshing Balm mentioned on another thread.

The only other light item I would suggest you have a look at, and again we are taking ours, is the Thermartex Bedding Blanket, to throw over the sleep system should you need it. This is a breathable reflective nylon sheet which reflects up to 70% of body heat. You can make it into a bag liner, or a bag cover to do the same job.

The promo will finish on Tuesday midnight as I doubt we can ship it after that with any certainty to our normal courier destinations.

See you guys up there. Keep safe, keep warm, keep walking :)
