Questions before the first trip

What people ask us most often in the shop.

What does a sleeping bag’s comfort temperature mean?
The temperature at which an adult lies relaxed without feeling cold. The limit temperature is different: at that one you curl up and sleep badly. Choose by comfort, not by limit.
How many litres of pack do I need?
For a day out, 20–30 litres. For a weekend with a tent, 45–60. Above 65 litres a pack fills up however big it is: better to take a smaller one and carry less.
What is water column?
How much water pressure the fabric holds, in millimetres. For light rain 5,000 mm is enough; for rain with a pack pressing on your shoulders you want 10,000 mm or more.
Can you repair my gear?
Yes, including gear bought elsewhere: patches on tents and mats, replaced zips, re-proofing. Tell us what broke and we will say whether it is worth repairing.
