just imagine swinging your rucksack and roll onto your back with that on
I think I would rather stick with a good bivvy bag or Tarp.In the warm six months.

He's obviously not camped in the UK before has he?

Like you'd get any sleep without padding of some sort under your back.!!! He's really not tought that through has he? Why would you want to stand up in water with it on?

I bet they cost a fortune too!!
