You should buy it from Les at traveldri, support him as he supports us. You may save a quid or two somewhere else but Traveldri is unique, they stock the things we need and some things that are nigh on impossible to get elsewhere. Remember that they have been going to the bike shows for years and give good customer service, if we all purchased from the big boys the likes of Traveldri and Adventure spec wouldn't exist.

TravelDri

Bought mine from TravelDri whilst at Ripley. They're awesome! Expensive, but it's one purchase I certainly don't regret. Worth every penny!

Thanks for the review

Have used the 7cm in 3/4 length with internal pump for just over a year.

Need to take care with seating the air plugs otherwise it deflates overnight. For me I need an additional heavy foam mat in cold weather for insulation.

Very light and very comfortable, just needs help in the winter.

On deflation the down fill section evacuate easily, the foam filled sections including the pump area less so.

None the less it's the best for lightweight camping I have tried.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
