(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

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

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.. :D

(Express parcel for these is $16.. )
