No Lost, this gear is a bit better quality than your usual suspects, have a heap of their gear and clothes and works well

Theres a Kat store up from work, never been in there as it has that expensive look about it. I'll reserve judgement until I go in and inspect :P

They cater mainly for the bushwalker and hiker but if you get past the clothes racks and find the camping gear, it's not an extensive range but it's much better quality and at 50% off it's worth becoming a member. I likewise have some of their gear.

Yeah but after a long day in the saddle (or car seat), it's still good to sit by the camp fire in warm dry clothes and comfy sleeping bags.
Kat does these really well, plus their kitchen/food prep items are small and light but still good quality. Gives more room for things like...........Beer and Spirits.

Just to prove the theory on only rubbish at Rays..

Just went looking for a new Billy.... Rays had respectable, but not acceptable, and Shit.

Went to Anna, no choice, but cheap Shit..

They must be working in tandem...

Last time I went there it was for one of their VIP sales and found the range to be pretty generic with brands I've never heard of before, struggled to find anything new or interesting to buy.

I dropped into our local Rays for a looksee about 6 months ago and walked out after 10 minutes.  It was either cheap rubbish or too expensive half decent quality.

Just as well Rays don't have a publicity/media watchdog and lawyer like a certain CT manufacturer. This thread would send them into overdrive.
