How to fix Anvil Siege Force?

Would really like to see a solid update to this detachment in the codex. I understand we kind of got it with Ceramite Sentinels.

Do you think there's a way to differentiate them enough, or will Anvil disappear with Ceramite just remaining?

Would love to see something between Anvil and Reclamation force, focusing on terrain features. An offensive bonus (Ignores Cover on all weapons?), and then a defensive when in terrain?

Really - what could be the updated 'Imperial Fist' detachment, is where I'm headed.

3-Day Adventure Ideas (Within drive from Wollongong)

Hi All,

Got a long weekend at the end of the month, happy to drive a few hours each way.

I'm at a loss whether to dip back into the Budawangs for a few days or up to Blue Mountains, or if there's somewhere I'm overlooking that could be a good option.

People that live in the area, where's somewhere you've been recently or isusually decent come end of August?

Rain Jackets - New Options?

Have been fairly happy using my Patagonia Torrentshell over the last few years, however it's starting to show it's age with a hole or two poked in it after bush-bashing.

Starting to look for a new jacket, am moving over to the UK next year so doesn't need to be as hardy as the torrentshell, but I don't want to have to baby the jacket either. Will primarily be hiking through alps and UK highlands for the foreseeable years before returning back to Aus!

Must-haves are obviously pit zips, would also LOVE either proper pocket placement, and ideally an internal pocket?

Was looking at the macpac traverse but realised it has no pit zips, and a couple reviews question it's durability over more than 2 years.

Anyone got experience with outdoor research, rab, ? Keen to hear what people are using.

Ranger Jacket Reviews?

Hi All,

Looking at the Ranger jackets (Carhartt Detroit copy) and wondering if anyone's got one and has some info on it?

I'm trying to find something in the style of the detroit, all cotton and (mostly) wool, without any kind of branding/logo on it. Open to other suggestions if you have them

Mid-Layer Advice: To Softshell or Not?

Looking to update some of my layering kit. Currently have a patagonia micro d fleece, down sweater and a torrentshell that I wear over a macpac trail sun hoody. No real major issues with the layering system I use, only that I find the micro d is sometimes just not enough at camp and the down sweater is almost too much, and once I leave camp I'm taking the micro d off as soon as there's elevation and putting it back on if there's wind..

I'm wondering what peoples experience with the Macpac Nitro is? Would it better balance against the issues I'm seeing, or just exacerbate them further?

I've read it's incredibly warm, but a breeze will blow through you, and also durability takes a hit. That leads me to the Pisa jacket, which is the same alpha fleece but in a softshell variant. This beats the wind, can unzip to dump air, is it the solution? Have never used a softshell before. I'd get good daily use out of it too as an around-town jacket I think.
