This would not have been an issue in the soft grass of the second night.<br />I'm not sure about resting legs/feet on the rucksack, but it seemed ok. If the rucksack was wet, I would probably use the inside of my waterproof jacket as a liner to protect the down bag, but then I'd have to find something else to supplement my pillow...<br />I'll certainly take the NeoAir on short trips in fair weather, but for longer ones like the TGOC the lighter 185gm Multimat is still likely to be my first choice, on the basis of this first test.<br /><br />Pacerpoles: a great success, very comfortable to use - the only downside is their weight - 685gm compared with Leki Makalu Ultralite's 440gm. And the small but expensive camera attachment worked well. I suggest you borrow them for a day one your knee is sufficiently recovered. I'm almost glad I lost the Leki's!Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-806223894633209432009-08-04T11:16:28.750+01:002009-08-04T11:16:28.750+01:00Everyone has to have lunch somewhere!
