It is resolved like you suggest but only when the cold has paid you a visit in the small hours. I think the Rohan ultra T is great but the 'pants' are a bit, well, 'pants' to be honest.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-55377187836388195182013-04-17T19:53:31.239+01:002013-04-17T19:53:31.239+01:00Alan, I have the Minimus like you without the shou...Alan, I have the Minimus like you without the shoulder baffle. Used it down to -4 and OK so far. I think if I had a draft I would just place my down jacket or Rab pull-on around my shoulders.

Having said that i was disappointed in the sacks capability of carrying the weight. I have had a reply from Mammut and they are investigating.<br />I have put all my gear into 2 different sacks i have. The Dueter 40 +10 carries the load best but it has a weight penalty over the Mammut. The OMM Villain 45 +10 carried it better than the Mammut but not as comfy as the Deuter. The wheel is turning towards a heavier sack. oh dear.
