Seriously though, how is an individual consumer supposed to judge whether everyone in a supply chain is being compensated fairly? Especially for a complex product.

Quite up for launching this...

I think you’ve under-priced it!

Unfortunately, Organic is no longer making the backcountry.  I think it was just not selling.  It is hands down the best for a big load carry for any distance.   

And second the idea that Organic is a very hands on company w a great personal touch.  I've always had amazing experiences with them and they've been super up front and honest with me every time.

I can't remember the name of them now - what was the air-cushioned mega pad from the late 90's (?) which was serious money but arguably worth it as they actually did something different?

It was kind-of inflatable... I seem to remember that was over £400 back in the day.

Ronin Airpad.

Didn't a group on here club together and import them?

That's them -  £295 back in 2009, so I was only wrong twice...

You can still get them:

edit:
They do have a more expensive one which has very similar straps to the Organic

The Ronin was just a standard pad with a fancy filling. There was also an actual inflatable pad, twice the area and thickness of most pads. Farrar had one, I fell on it a few times, a bit bouncy for my taste but amazing to base a standard pad stack on.

Looking at their website, Flashed do have quite a neat feature where you can get any picture you like printed on the face of your mat!

And if this isn't the ideal opportunity to turn every session into "the floor is lava" then someone's doing something wrong.
