Re: Lockdown?

Looking at Italy just shows us they dropped the ball on screening, their mild cases have been walking around undetected. Making the numbers look worse because they're now seeing the worse cases mount up. The model stays true. We shouldn't sensationalise. OM Looks to me like Italy have taken strong,...

Anybody found a good and not mega-expensive place to get really good all -weather gear? We have a lot of bad weathewr up here and it's getting worse. Son uses a bike to get around and he's sick of being soaked to the skin. Bike gear is overpriced and you pay for the name, maybe mountaineering stuff...

Re: Help please

Well you do seem to have found a gap in the market here, I just did a quick google for 'gas regulator insulators' and found very little. The main tip seems to be ensuring the bottle is elevated from the ground as a start, then the full bottle insulation jacket (which I assume must also cover the reg...
