I was in London over the weekend and passing by calumet, as you do, I popped in to pick up one of these changing room tents.

Now i am obviousely the complete minority here but I just can't get used to it.
certainly it is more airy than a regular bag but I find it less practical to use...must be soemthing to do wiht me by everyone else's opinions of it, but it's back to the traditioanl changing bag for me!

So who wants to buy a literally used just once bag...so really as new just road tested?

I'll pop a post in the classifieds section.

Jut a quick question - you are using it the right way up? Sleeves and zip panel towards you, sleeves lower than the zip.
Reassure yourself - stroke an Ebony

I'm glad that was a quick question!!...but how would you use it with the sleeves and zip panel away from you!

Yes it's the right way up and around...just not for me I guess.

I find it most comfortable when I have the elastics on the arm holes just over my elbows. I don't know if that would make any difference for you.

Yes tried it all ways. Sometimes things just don't work! Not the end of the world really as I'm sure I can offload it quite easily.

So despite the glowing reports the changing room was not for me...now the paraomo darkcloth...that is a different matter...brilliant flexible design, lightweight, waterproof, folds up small...perfect in every way...right...off to the Swiss alps for some skiing with a 54 on my back!

Cheers,

Marc
