Great video David, you gave a good overview of the Cricket. It was good to see its features in detail. It looks like a top piece of kit. I've also subbed to your channel and I'll be looking forward to watching your next video.
Ron at MLD usually sends them as 'material samples' so there are no import duties to pay. You can get an inner. I bought it to use as a tarp, normally with a bivvy bag. Since then I've used it much more and really like it, so midges became an issue. I use a 3F UL inner with it, but will buy the MLD one. Its the inner for the Solomid XL I believe.
I love it, that said due to the changeable conditions this year, I haven't use it as much as I'd like to, it's one I'll definitely keep and use with a bivvy though, can't beat waking up and just gazing out sipping coffee. Duomid's a bit bigger, the cricket is based on the solomid.
@@milesfromanywhere. Hi Dave, it's very versatile, this Scottish trip I've just used it has just been prefect tbh it'll be my go to over the warmer months, if it's to be a bit cruddy I'll take the akto and then winter been using the TN Voyager just for space. I'll use the akto too if I'm not too confident of the forecast in Winter, a double pole it. Think I'm covered with those three, cheers for checking in n all mate 👍
No worries about the video, even considering it's your first one - it's probably better than half of the videos out there related to outdoor gear. I'd rather see the honest man's opinion.

Thank you for your kind words 👍. Been thinking about it for a while, this was just having a look around my editing app. Reckon I'll do my next trip
So how much was it all on with import costs?
You can get an inner I believe?

so how are you liking the Cricket? i'm on the fence between the Cricket and Duomid. i also backpack with my dog.

Is this the new Silpoly version?
Hi, no this was purchased last year, it didn't arrive until October, so didn't have a chance to use it over Winter properly
Looks a great shelter, I’m toying with a Duomid & Solomid atm. Good video, cheers, Dave 👍
