This morning the coffee filter to go with the alpkit brukit. Just released.
Probably, but I can put up with that for decent coffee.

I completely agree with Reg.

OK for race whippets but not for lardarses like me. One advantage of the Alpkit Polestar is that the poles are at the end - it's also lighter, got a higher HH and half the price!

Looks crap, especially in a UK context. Where is it manufactured?
The Polestar is designed and made in the UK.

The material comes from China (as it does for most tent manufacturers) but, as far as I am aware from the Alpkit site, many things are constructed here
Besides, it wouldn't be audacious if success were guaranteed.
This tent looks quite clever.
