Unsure if this helps as a comparison, but I have the Attila (great pack) and I find the pockets just come round the sides of my hips and I have a 34” waist.
its highlights the size difference and that the pockets on the attila are further forward

So it looks like noone here has their Pyraomm tarp? One of the few silpoly trekking pole shelters. I'm intrigued by it but leaning toward another make for my next purchase.

It's an interesting option, a lot of tent for the weight, but the lack of vestibules is off-putting. I have a suspicion it'd make a really nice 1p shelter with the Six Moons Serenity (or 3F equivalent) rather than the included inner.
 
Those choonies look nice. For anyone interested Evgen said he can make rucksacks without the belt. I was after longer padding for the belt for my chumpiness but without pockets (and a 150d bottom which I think they don't do) but I was concerned that my mods might be lost in translation. Postage to here was good value though I thought.

The Choonies looked an absolute bargain and I ordered a pair. :thumbsup:

Then, I realised that I could have used the 15off to get a discount. :arghh:

Too late to change the price ( still incredibly low ) but Evgen said he'd add a hipbelt Pokkie to the order. :thumbsup:

That's what I call keeping the customer sweet. :D

May be wanting to place another order ..................... :)

Quick heads up... The measurements on the quilts, don't allow for how it fits when closed up with the drawcords. 7- 9cm short of the 180 stated.. :banghead:
Unless you include the material that just flops over the top hem when it's laid flat.
I'm 1.65m to just below my nape and it will only just fit but it's not the happy fit I was hoping for from the 180cm quoted :thumbsdown:

I'm a UK 10.5 and the large are cutting it fine...

For Large? I have a sneaking suspicion there has been a size mix-up. I randomly happened to have a friend to hand who also has UK 10.5 so I got him to try my mediums on - he can get in them without forcing it, but it's right on the verge... sounds just like you're describing - I wonder if they've sent you mediums. For an objective comparison, laid out flat I measure heel to toe at about 29.5 cm.

Measured flat, heel to toe seams.. External 30cm
Labeled Large

Wish I hadn't sold my z packs down ones now... But I bot these for when my feet might be damp.

Ah, they've totally mislabelled a pair of Mediums. Hopefully Ami or Dave V can measure their Large's and confirm. Would definitely drop Liteway a request to exchange.

I wished I'd paid more attention to the apex used in the choonies... In my haste, I thought it was 167... It's 67gm² if it's a typo on their description, they don't feel as warm as what 167g should feel like.
2.36oz is summer weight insulation.... Doh

I can live with the fit... I ordered mediums last night for the wife... I can see them being too big for her now :banghead:

This is all a bit disappointing. Are you going to let them know. I recon they need to spell out stuff like the length of the quilt with the footbox closed up. Otherwise they are going to have other folks disappointed. Are you going to shift the quilt on?

I've emailed them moments ago. Worst case (no paypal used as they didn't have it) the wife may like it and it would fit her better.
I wouldn't be interested in a large size as that would be way too big and too heavy for the estimated 0°c comfort rating.
