Brigantes Presents – High Angled Solutions – Hilleberg Allak 3 in Sand

Wednesday, May 15th, 2019

Simple, remarkably light, and completely free standing, the Allak is an excellent all-rounder.

Since its introduction over 10 years ago, the two-person Allak has been one of Hilleberg’s most popular tents. For 2019, they have introduced a three-person version, the Allak 3, and renaming the original model the Allak 2.

Both remarkably light yet impressively strong Allak models are well-suited for anything from summer paddling to winter ski mountaineering, as the outer tent fabric is Kerlon 1200 and with its 9mm poles, makes for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent.

Hilleberg’s Allak 3 is light enough for mobile journeys, where you move your camp every day, and its two-entrance construction allows for superb ventilation options in warm weather. At the same time, the Allak’s three-pole dome structure is strong enough for summer or winter base camp use in all but the worst conditions, and the fully freestanding construction make it ideal for tough pitching conditions, such as rocky ground and sand.

In addition, its two integrated vestibules are set parallel to the sleeping area, giving excellent access to gear storage space as well as ease of entry and exit. Mountaineers appreciate both the Allak’s freestanding design, compact footprint, and its roominess, as well as its ability to deal with snow loading. And taller adventurers find its length a welcome comfort.

All these factors make Hilleberg the ideal solution for all military deployments, whether in areas of heat or extreme cold as well as being lightweight, easily portable and available in Sand.

ORSS 19 – Two Cool New Products From Klymit

Thursday, January 31st, 2019

Over the years, Klymit has really grown as a company and we always enjoy seeing what new products they’re going to introduce. This OR is no exception with the new Moon Dog Bed and Versa Luxe Blanket.

The Moon Dog Bed takes Klymit’s inflatable sleeping pad technology and applies it to man’s best friend. They’ve added a removable fleece top to keep puppy warm and comfy. In fact, throughout the day, many a K9 showgoer took a rest on one of these beds. The Moon Dog Bed is available in two sizes and rolls up for use on the go.

Rover doesn’t have to be the only one in the family wrapped in fleecy comfort. The new Versa Luxe Blanket is a generous 80″ x 58″ and combined a polyester ripstop shell with a fleece liner. In between those two outer layers is Klymaloft insulation, the same material used in their sleeping bags.

The design features a foot box, handwarmer pockets in each corner as well as corner snaps and a cinch cord on one end.

Brigantes Presents – High Angle Solution – Yeti Fusion Dry 1700+

Wednesday, November 14th, 2018

Getting good quality sleep in any environment is exceptionally important.  The standard issue sleeping bags tend to fall well short of what can be achieved and are normally much heavier and bulkier than what is available of the shelf.

Yeti produces sleeping bags that sit right at the top of the pile and you can’t really get much better than the Yeti Fusion Dry 1700+ for operating in the frozen north.

Fusion Dry 1700+ is an ultra warm (comfort -23 Degrees Celcius) heavy weight rugged down sleeping bag constructed for extreme use in rough arctic or mountainous conditions. The outer casing is made from extra durable shell fabric that has enhanced water repelling function as well as being highly breathable. The down filling is Yetis trademark dry down with a coating that makes the individual down fibres water repellent and quicker drying – without compromising the insulation power. The Fusion Dry 1700+ has an internal collar and freezing puff to hold the hot air inside the bag where you need it and both H- and S-Box construction with a triple layered integrated foot box for extra protection of the extremities. The Fusion Dry 1700 is made with one purpose in mind: provide a durable and ultra warm bag for the most extreme adventure. Yes
