TIP: The online
Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Malachowski has released a new line of bags, lighter than their ultralight bags which are already very light and pretty fantastic. They are claiming the lightest bags in the world going by the ratio of the construction to fill using a fabric called Toray Osaka at 15g/m.
Also a significant price premium on the ultralight range.

Nice. Interesting if they've managed to improve what's already around in nylon fabric-this stuff is advancing pretty quickly at the moment.
I'd love some of that Toray Osaka to test.

Wow, that -1C bag is barely any heavier than my +5C 850FP quilt. Impressive.
Mind you, if I'm converting 4500 zloty correctly, that's AUD$1500, so I guess it'd wanna be!

Another very good Polish company, prices less eye-watering as well. I've bought directly from the Polish site, no problems. The Poles produce the best down in the world.
