The bulkier Scarp 1 fits much better in the Catalyst than it does in the Arc Blast, hence the choice. In fact the Catalyst is a superb all round pack and very comfortable to carry despite the weight compared to the Blast. Having said this the Blast is also great. It's just horses for courses.FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-74660274427474382032015-05-07T19:38:45.877+01:002015-05-07T19:38:45.877+01:00How come that you choose the ULA Catalyst instead ...How come that you choose the ULA Catalyst instead of your Arc Blast?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08284763754126700006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-13153832432605481182015-04-28T14:16:22.373+01:002015-04-28T14:16:22.373+01:00Love a good gear list :-)

If it is hot then I'm stuffed. I sleep in the silk liner gloves. I tell people it's because I get cold extremeties but actually I'm just a bit kinky and love the feel of silk on skin. The next best substitute is smearing a layer of Primula over myself..... ;-)FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-61236178719931513792015-04-25T10:08:35.611+01:002015-04-25T10:08:35.611+01:00You are right Steve.

I see that your ploy is to loose personal poundage along the way by sweating off weight, wearing a fleece, gillet, windshirt, beanie and two pairs of gloves in this glorious sunshine. Take care my friend, athetic individuals such as ourselves can't afford to loose that carefully balanced muscle tone.<br /><br />25 April 2015 at 08:36Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298215339426733968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-33217176025010528592015-04-25T05:23:28.959+01:002015-04-25T05:23:28.959+01:00Actually, Robin, I guessed the weight of rail tick...Actually, Robin, I guessed the weight of rail tickets and wallet.
