We were sized up with wetsuits, shown different options and styles, Mark was bang on with his sizing right as we walked through the door and had myself and my partner fitted within a short time.

I had asked if there was ample space for an estate car with a trailer, which there is plenty. We had seen a lot of their products on the website, so decided to pay them a visit on our next trip to Cornwall on holiday.Ĭommunication right from the off was great, I spoke to Mark via email and he couldn’t have been more helpful. In summary, I'd recommend this comfy setup if you have the time and patience to deal with it afterwards.Myself and my partner visited NCW after seeing their store online. No matter how I mess with the inflate/deflate valves, there's always air stuck in the mat.

I spend around 20 minutes every time attempting to get it nice and flat and eventually give up. Secondly, good luck ever fully deflating the mat.

But no rule without exceptions and sometimes a shorter torso length is better, for example in alpine or mountaineering situations where a short back allows easy access to the climbing harness. The center of the hipbelt ideally rests on the hip bone crest (pelvis) in order to bear the bulk of the load (refer to diagram) especially on large internal frame backpacks. Defining torso length is not necessarily critical on a daypack but crucial on backpacking or alpine touring packs, as only perfect fit can warrant transfer of a bulk of the pack weight to the hips. Depending on pack volume and intended use the suspension system of a backpack becomes an essential feature.
