(Green) Marmot Garmsal - I tried one overnight when we bought them 7/8yrs ago and then just never needed them. So they are 'as new'. Much like an Osprey Exos (not sure which came first) with the suspended back-panel and trampoline style. They hold 35L & weigh in around 1.2kg.. but there are zippered internal pouches etc that aren't really needed, could easily take some weight off them. Several Available. *** PU inner coating is discouloured and will need re-proofing- discounted.


(Red) Osprey Hornet - These were made for a season then discontinued. They fit failry large, this one would suit someone 175+ cm. Used a couple of times but minimal wear (I can't see any). They're around 46L and .7kg (frameless with a foam panel). One Available.


Hornet $85 plus postage.
Garmsal $25ea. plus postage.

Interested in the Hornet. PM sent.

EDIT- Wrong size me for me, so still up for grabs AFAIK.

I don't see a message BMo? Let me know if you want the Hornet and i'll try from my end.

** Unfortunately the PU coating on the Garmsals looks to be breaking down, they looked a bit discoloured but I don't trust the coating to hold up.
I'll let them go for $25ea. plus postage just to save the waste (of relegating to spare parts closet) but expect they'll probably need reproofing at some stage.. in the not-distant future.

cheers.

The Hornet is size M/L.. unfortunately (in the right light) seems to be a bit discoloured as well. It's not frail but i'm not sure if that will limit it's life... so -

$25 ea. for any of these little packs. ta

Pm sent Nuts, although it is sitting in my 'outbox' not 'sent messages'. Let me know if you don't get it. Cheers

[nezumi]

I just had a look at my outbox - same issue. >.<

Maybe check your inbox isn't full Nuts?

[kymboy]

I think your messages stay in your outbox until Nuts opens them. Then they move to your sent box

I'd say you might be third or fourth in line by this point Moondog!

Probably but still worth a try

Looks like nezumi has first offer for the Hornet.
Still have a couple of Garmsals. Regarding the messages: the inside / side panels need re-proofing, not the rest (ie. it's an easy job). The one i'm keeping (actually prefer these to the exos) is abt 1150g with scissors work..

(Express parcel for these is $16.. )
