Searched high and low but not found a weight anywhere as yet :o o:
Indeed, there is absolutely no information whatsoever and the list of vendors besides Sportpursuit isn't exactly reassuring. Which is not great considering that the price is basically that of a discounted Patagonia Torrentshell...

Skogstad UK just got back to me and it's the first time they've been asked this question so they don't know but someone should go to the warehouse tomorrow and weigh one. A bit academic for me anyway as my size is gone across all colours anyway.

Again not desperately lightweight. PlanetX have a Chinese stove and sleeping mat bundle for £40

The mat is 440g and stove 500g

Pity they don't seem to have the heavier outdry jackets still .Better specs and lighter for less money. And no dwr to wear off in a year and render the specs redundant.
 
Wondering if someone can point me to (AliEx -I think) the tarp with beak that someone posted in the last month or so. They had pics high and low pitch and I'll be buggered if I can find it. Thought I book marked it but a bit of a dill. Ta

A quick search for ‘tarp’ on Ali brought this one up. Plenty of other sellers with the same if this was the one you were after.

Nice colour, bad material choice. I wouldn't spend £35 on one.
Im a bit of a marmot fan, but imho this jacket is a bad move.
Iirc some races and challenge events, won't allow pertex sheild.
@Chiseller TBH I know nothing about Pertex shield but I was drawn to the weight. Maybe they are selling them off cheap because of the reasons you set out. If I see an orange one for £30 I'll let you know ;)
