TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Aussie alternatives to Enlightened Convert / FF Flicker?

I’m looking at getting myself something like the Ee Convert or the FF Flicker but the first is out of stock at Backpacking Light in Melbourne and the second is just not available anywhere here.

Is there an Australian alternative these options? I’ve looked at Nevegear and Tier Gear but neither seem to offer a “full length Zip” or anything such custom option.

Sure there is but not at the UL end of the scale.
The S2S Traveller series.
Despite it not being exactly cheap I am using mine a heck of a lot.
I use it as a summer bag/quilt and as a booster in White season when I use the half bag and down jacket; I do think they are seriously underfilled tho, when I had mine topped up I should have got 200 grams and not the paltry 100 I did. The baffles in my Tr2 are 70mm tall
Ve are too soon old und too late schmart
