Not quite the S2S mat but..

Information for bushwalkers from bushwalkers

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

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.

I was doing some browsing on ebay trawling for some 2nd hand gear and came across these..

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Naturehike-A ... 2182992235

It was almost tempting to try one- has anyone bought any Naturehike gear before? The also have a copy of the S2S inflateable pillow.

Hmmm, the dimples between the air pockets don't look as solid as those on my S2S mat - greater potential for failure?

I have a Naturehike tent, and I have been very happy with it so far.

They do not appear to be insulated so not a good choice unless you are walking in the tropics. The fabric is similar (TPU coating) to that used my more mainstream manufacturers.

I bought a naturehike aeros pillow when my S2S one busted, and honestly the naturehike is far more comfortable, just as durable.

YMMV on other items though.

I've got a Naturehike Star River 2 tent, which is a clone of the Big Agnes Copper Spur 2. Great gear for the money IMO.

Buy it off aliexpress usually cheaper.

Gear is hit and miss in my experience. frugalhiker.blogspot.com if you want more like it.
