I admit that even without the vest the Boreas worked extremely well in the high winds. In fact it worked better than my Montaine lightspeed. I’m so glad you posted about it or else it would have just remained a dust collector. I now have to take back all the bad comments i have made over the years.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-58889741580982594032014-04-24T14:48:34.459+01:002014-04-24T14:48:34.459+01:00Hi Alan,

It was minus 2C in my tent at 5am, so no doubt colder outside, though the door was completely open.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-35546098863601921622014-04-22T09:37:19.677+01:002014-04-22T09:37:19.677+01:00Hi Dawn, Great weekend.

The doors open and the fact that the little porch was stacked up with gear gives the pic a bad impression. We didn’t use the crossing pole either as you can see. In reality it is ok.<br />Some good pics to come too on day 2 and 3.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-6106787481886964052014-04-22T09:07:57.307+01:002014-04-22T09:07:57.307+01:00Looks like you had fantastic weather to start off ...Looks like you had fantastic weather to start off with. A touch of frost on your first night out? That Henry Shires tent looks as if it is drooping badly? Love the photos. Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839157927650251268noreply@blogger.com
