Gourdon Brown

I never intended for this blog to become an extension of Alpkit's advertising team, but they just keep coming up with some great ideas at ludicrously low prices.

I would categorise Alpkit as the Innocent Smoothies of the outdoor world - seemingly too good to be true in product terms, and complemented by outstanding customer service. Their website also contains some lovely general musings on the outdoor lifestyle.

Witness the latest addition to Alpkit range - a stripped-down, fully waterproof dry bag/day pack called Gourdon:

Simple idea, nicely executed. Kudos to the boys from Ilkley, yet again.
