Beal Verdon 9mm x 50m Dry

Advantages: Ultra light, roomy , quick to erect
Disadvantages: expensive

...to get in, perhaps because it’s raining, you don’t have to bother but we would peg it down as soon as possible. It is a modified A fame tent. It has a DAC Featherlite NSL pole system. DAC poles are extremely light and strong. It has a 9 mm hub/pole and 10.25 mm ridge pole with press-fit connectors and lightweight hubs. This single hub/pole system makes erecting it quick and easy and the cross pole on the SL 3 increases head room and stability. Plastic clips attach the tent body to the pole frame and this is also quick and simple The inner tent body is 20D nylon mesh so you get excellent cross ventilation. The floor is a bathtub design; this means the waterproof fabric extends up the sides 6 inches so water can’t leak in. the flooring consists of a 30D nylon rip-stop with a silicone treatment and 1200 mm waterproof polyurethane coating...

Advantages: Waterproof,Durable,Lightweight
Disadvantages: Large sizes can be hard to obtain. Replacement footbeds unobtainable.

...Dry Ice Size 11XW Struggled to obtain XW fit but eventualy some were brought in from the States. Very comfortable shoe. Temperature control worked well. Cool feet in Arizona in 108F and warm feet in UK winter. Shoes in very good condition after two years but need new footbeds(in soles) tried to get hold of these from Footjoy but they are unable to supply them. Not really good enough for a £130 shoe. X Dimension Size11W Could not get size in FJ Gel Fusion shoes. Footjoy not very helpful with this despite numerous e mails to them. Stockist do not seem to stock larger sizes. saw some X dimensions going for £65 in 11 W , to my surprise they fit well.(FJ shoes vary a lot in their sizing due to different lasts used so make sure you try on the shoe you want before u buy mail order.)Very good light shoe. Waterproof. Very good quality... Read review
