How strict in your experience do you need to comply with the max carrying weight of 12kg

Love my PR500. I live in the UK and they're not available here because of the carabineer issue 😏 I was fortunate enough to get mine from eBay from someone who'd brought one back from Europe. I've done a long cycle and paddle trip with it and it moves a lot better with the weight of the bike on the front. I've also done some gentle whitewater with it and it's fun. I've got 3 packrafts. This one, an Aquaglide Expedition 85 which I also love and a Biluta. The latter I didn't like so much until I started using it as my sacrificial craft - I've stabbed holes in it several times in order to test different quick fix repair tapes. It's taken a lot of abuse and is still going strong. For me packrafts are expensive play boats. They're great fun on the water and like you say allow you to do things you can't necessarily do with a standard inflatable kayak. I've also got an Aquaglide Cirrus and more recently the Aqua Marina Halve - both ultralight TPU full size kayaks. Both a lot of fun with their lightweight being a boon. Thanks for your comparison between the 2 Itiwit models - great idea 👍😁

What do you think about the tent in 2024?

I've owned the 100 for over two years now. I love it. It packs down tiny and lives in the camper with a 5piece paddle, and an inflatable PFD. On calm water you can do 3-4mph no problem and it feels extremely stable. I have used it down a few rivers (2-3), and it bounces off rocks with no issues, the side material just conforms to the obstacles it meets, the bottom experiences the most abrasion, but that is not what keeps you afloat anyway, nevertheless no damage. For the use and fun I have had from it, it is well worth the money👍

Interesting, thanks ! Which one of the two is the more confortable for the lower back -For people, like me having lumbagos ?

IL MANQUE UN PONT, c'est pour ça que je préfère me tourner vers la marque JAWS ou MEKONG.

Did I recognize the Lac de la Haute-Sûre? ;)

Zoals steeds een interessante review met een aangename stem en inonberispelijk Engels, zalig! Grtjs uit As.

The lack of a sprayskirt or self-bailer floor is not (just) a temperature issue, in whitewater your raft would fill up quickly with water and you'd need to stop all the time to empty it. It seems like the Itiwit 100 is a good option for flat/slow water and the Itiwit 500.. does not really fit anywhere imho.

Altijd al afgevraagd wat die dingen waard zijn. Thx for the vid 👍

You seem to be doing a lot of trips with the guys. Some sort of trip video would be fun with some voice over. It’s slightly different than doing reviews I admit.

You just did a review on two chairs that you didn't even sit on.

The fan is very loud, not suitable for me. Thanks for the video review though, appreciate your point of view.

I had the Forclaz MT500 air backpack, loved it, thought I wanted to upgrade to an Osprey, so went with the Exos 58, but ngl it feels like a step backwards. I'm very consumed by *proper fitting* gear, and as my back length is 55cm, the MT900 UL seemed to only work to 53 cm. That being said, I think I might end up buying one.

Thanks for the review!

I tried both, the „male“ and „female“ version in a local decathlon store and one of the main differences and the reason I ended up buying the blue version was that the grey-orange version has tighter/ smaller shoulder strap space where your neck is. This space then is shaped more towards the side and gets way bigger on the chest area. So it’s a design choice that I guess fits women better and guys with thicker necks worse. I would have preferred a smaller volume but it just wasn’t nearly as pleasant to carry as the blue version.

Mine often creaks and occasionally not. I have not yet invested the time to figure it out. I am looking for an additional shoulder pocket for mobile/water. Do you have any suggestions?

Nice review

Altijd goeie content, merci!

i'd get one or two if it's in Rusty Patina Orange

I like how we saw next to nothing from the tent inside and you using it 😅 /s

После покупки, палатка нам очень понравилась. Ежегодно ездим на 2месячный отдых. Так вот, сезон простояла замечательно, напомню стоим 2мес. На второй сезон у палатки начали расходиться замки на дверях. Еще из-за натуральной ткани, палатка очень быстро плесневеет.

Seriously, what's with these tent companies making bright coloured tents? Unless I am in an emergency situation, I'd rather not draw too much attention to myself Great review, I just would have liked seeing the pack size

I'm not seeing it on the Decathlon website in the US but it is great to see them getting into more UL type gear.

It is probably possible, though perhaps more difficult, to set up this tent without the inner. Then it really is a tarp tent.

I got mine last week and tried it out over the weekend in my backyard. I agree on the difficulty of setting it up for the first time, it's not the smoothest experience but I guess the second time will be at least twice as fast. I also ordered the MT100 poles and after some tinkering I had a pretty solid setup with the pole at the door side set to 115cm and the backside at 120cm while putting this pole at a slight outward angle, maybe I have a different version of the MT100 trekking poles because my tips fitted nicely in the holes. With my body height of 188cm I had two comfortable nights on my MT500 air XL Minimal Editions mattress and even had a little bit of space to spare at the foot end. Condensation was present but didn't find its way into the inner tent. I'd surely recommend this tent but also strongly recommend to set it up at least once before you hike out into the wilderness :)

Thanks, I was waiting for a review of this tent. Seems like they made a good compromise between quality and price. You don't mention it in the video but it comes at 150€. There's also a 2P-version at 190€ which weighs 1,3kg (2.9 pounds). A downside is that the foot-end is only 55cm wide, so only suitable for 51cm mattresses and aimed at mummies. I agree that the color is badly chosen, and seems to be a marketing decision to clearly separate these tents from their other models, while ignoring the preferences of backpackers.

How long would you say the trekking pole needs to be?

Fantastic and professional looking review man! So nicely elaborated!

You can actually buy those velcro patches seperately. At least they've been available in the past.

😂😂😂. This was very helpful thanks yall

When I combine the spark1 and Spark 2… in what warmth would I be?…

I just bought the updated Spark 0°F version, and it seems they've really listened to all the feedback. The zipper is now double-sided, making it easy to get in and out, and they've added more down insulation in the draft collar along the zipper for extra warmth. At 6'7" and 270 lbs, I opted for the long version - doh 😂, and it fits perfectly.

Mooie video en cool kanaal 👍

Excellent review from someone who has looked and pedalled it - you’re getting my head straight 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️

Fijne video, ik twijfel nog of de tent groot genoeg is voor mijn 3 meiden en mijzelf. We zijn aan t oriënteren voor onze eerste kampeervakantie en mijn grootste zorg is toch wel of het allemaal past in de auto (ford cmax). Mijn vrouw heeft ook enkele wensen en ze heeft een grotere tent van Obelink op t oog. Daarmee dus ook nog meer ruimte gevuld in de auto. Wellicht een video van wat je allemaal meeneemt en hoe dat in de auto past is een fijne video om te maken?

Great review! I agree with your pros and cons. I bought the Altaplex in 2022 and as a 6'5" tall person I have found it to be a bit small. Pitching it correctly for rain coverage is also a challenge at times.

I’m guessing that this is not the one that’s avail now, which people say is worse than thus one (& I just ordered). We’ll see.

Als ik route 2 zou willen doen, waar kan ik dan het beste de auto parkeren?

Bloody expensive.

Great video!

How easy is this to pour water on and pack right back up? Wondering if this would make for a good tailgating grill or substitute. Does it create a complete mess if you need to shut it down in a hurry.

I followed all the instructions from their own videos and website how to pack this. But after not even a year the fabric tore while stuffing it into the sack while hiking. Got any tip on how to fix it?

What’s wrong with spring?

just picked up the Quechua 4.1 F&B £299 have yet to try it but looking forward to it....

Are there any camping sites near London for the first time camper families to try out?

Hi guys gratis video im on my way to start the trail and with this video im really excited for it!!!

Thanks for the vid, good work. I'd like to know which were the really cool camping trailers, which photos have been shown in the start of the video?

Great video guys! Well-made, entertaining to watch. We'll be hiking the trail in September this year. Your video makes us even more eager to get our boots on!
