We have a new look Topout. Using the feedback I collected at Base Camp last season we have made a number of improvements: The canister has a new clearer lable that allows the operation of the resevoir to be more clearly seen. The operating instructions are now on the lable.
We had some observations about the head harness. This has now been rectified with a new harness. Finally we have managed to shave a few grammes off the weight with the introduction of a new light weight banjo fitting.
We are also offering a sleeping canulae to use at night in place of the mask. It does not suit everyone to sleep in a mask. One of the big problems is the inevitable condensation that collects in the mask, this combined with the noise of the valves operating is not condusive to perfect sleep. Also just wearing a mask to sleep is not comfortable or natural; finally should you manage to lose your mask you could use the canulae as an emergency backup.

Topout is all packed and with the shippers to Kathmandu to meet this seasons record orders.

News from Doctor Rob Casserley, Sir Ranulph Fiennes is going back.

Rob is fast proving himself as one ofthe top players on Everest –

“You may have heard that I’ve been asked to help out with Kenton’s Ranulph Fiennes expedition – I am going to be filming them, hopefully to and on the summit. Should be a great chance to show the “Topouts” in their glory…
I stand by what I said, regarding that the mask has changed the way that the mountain is climbed.
BBC1 will be showing “Everest ER” soon. Sounds like Kenny and myself will be the 2 “characters” previewed throughout the documentary. Another Topout load of footage coming your way I hope!!
