Equipment Recce

Recce at Beach Road
Hi everyone, to day we went to check the prices of some items sold at beach road that some of us were looking for. Below is the results of what we saw today. We did not record down the addresses of these shops but however we remember their locations.

Haversacks
There were large price variations amonst the many shops but this particular one caught our eye with riddiculously low prices.
60 litres - $55
48 litres - $43
45 litres - $35
32 litres - $29
Note: The haversacks are of Outgear and Mountaineer brands which are specialised in these kind of bags.
Mr khoo recommends us to bring around 20 to 40 litres volume kind of bags as more would be too bulky.

Water Bottles
Bring those which have a large carrying capacity which are rather durable. They can be found everywhere at Beach Road but the Breakproof bottles by Nalgene (Made in USA) are sold at $20 for a 1 litre bottle in various colours. However, they cannot be bargained as all stalls sell at the same price.

Shoes
Asics shoes going for $60 but only in older designs with limited sizes available for those who need good shoes.

We can organise an outing together to settle our stuff ASAP. Thanks alot and dun forget to check back here regularly.
