Thread: Best bit of kit you brought this year ?

So comfortable I forget I'm wearing them for hours at a time. No sweaty or hot ears like on or over ear headphones. Work fine with glasses, bike helmet, baseball cap...

I find them great for phone calls

One piece Forster FL sizing die with a precision honed neck so do not need to use an expander ball.

Beautiful even seating pressures and lovely straight concentric loads.

Got them last year... brilliant. I was walking around a huge rock crusher while it was running today, wearing ear plugs and shokz and was having a perfectly normal phone conversation... no shouting or background noise.

Sophirn SP40 head torch from Piercing the Darkness. Love it.

Convoy-L21b-sft40 torch from piercing the darkness. Excellent long distance spot beam for search and rescue work.

Crocs! refused to for years but got a pair this year and I have to admit, they great for out around the tent, sweet as for river crossings on day 1 when I don't want wet boots and pretty bloody good on the yak fishing too!

Abandon all hope! I like them too

Big Agnes Rapid XL sleeping mat. I've tried a few mats and I have never slept so well on the hill. The little extra weight is worth it.

Forgot about the scope I bought. Vixen V-1 4-16x44 Side Focus BDC. Have used it a few more times and it does everything I want it to do.

Santa brought me a pair this year and have to admit they a pretty bloody comfy. I’ve only worn them around the house though and I don’t think anyone saw me in them

+1 for the JB inner soles. Bought them just prior to heading off to Stewart Island to go into my Salomons but no time for testing. They copped a lot of punishment but in every way brilliant. Best $28 I’ve spent in a long time.
Another bit of kit I picked up in Oz earlier this year, that came highly recommended on the forum, was a Sea to Summit pillow. Once you get the inflation just right, it was a revelation. So small packed down and a massive comfort improvement whether you sleep on your side or back.
