Andddd instead of plonking down a chunk of change on the above, I stumbled upon this Outdoorgear branded thing of about the same weight (1.27kg stated) and over £100 less
Looks identical to the Gelert Solo I had and enjoyed years ago, but a bit lighter and with proper alu poles instead of the fragile fibreglass ones. Twice the price the Solo was at the time but will save a kilo from my pack weight. Obviously the same blueprint as the OEX Phoxx 1 but supposedly about 300g lighter and a tad cheaper.
