I'm buying a pole and backpack system next week and I would appreciate some advice from all you WFP windys out there. I'm looking to spend about £500- 600 on the gear and at the moment I'm thinking of a Gardiner SLX 2 pole (23ft), plus their backpack with a filter vessell from Unger.
Basically I'm going to filter the water at home into the backpack and more into barrells, then take it out with me and use it alongside my traditional method. From what I've read on here, I think a lot of Trad windys have a backup like this for those windows that are too high or dangerous for the ladder.
I was mulling over getting the Big Boy Backpack, Unger Alliuminum pole and DI filter bundle but I know I dont want a heavy pole. I also looked at Ionics Grafter carbon fibre pole but I've read crappy reviews for the build quality. Thats why Gardiner are my first choice at the moment both for pole and backpack.
What do you reccommend? Many thanks
