I'd go Exped Vela I or Vela I UL

A bit heavier but a lot less $$ than the carbon and reasonably light. Everything is a trade off, just depends on your priorities.

My 25 odd year old Fairydown Altimate III is still almost as good as when I bought it but heavy at 3.6kg

I just got one of those mira I's. I havent used it yet. But I am sure it will prove to be value for money. It will get used a bit this roar. Especially if Sneeze snoars.

What was wrong with the one you sold me?

Ummm....Think about it. I get accused of being one all the time and it happened a lot in that particular bag

Naaa, have you still got my other one? I cant remember what I have done with it. I gave you 2 too try and I havent seen the other one for ages.

Yep, I am still waiting on a scrub cutter that my brother in law has had for then last 11 years. Mongrel reckons he has never had it.
