Usually we invest in around 4 or 5 of the £30 ...
On delivery of our FatYak Adventure S Kaafu we were incredibly impressed with a number of things. The thought of design and quality of build (and accessories) had us looking at each other nodding in agreement and thinking “This is a decent piece of kit”, and we were only still in the car park unwrapping the thing!

Macaroni vs Man Flu When man flu strikes, it’s tempting to kick back on the sofa with a bottle of Lucozade and binge watch some Walking Dead, but that’s not very Extreme!
