Please keep making the outer in the UK. Another £20 is not a lot to keep production in the UK. £70 is still such good value.
Received my Phud just in time for the Xmas post deadline. Thanks for your fantastic delivery service, yet again. No chance to try Phud out on the rock yet but already struck by the quality and neat design. For what it’s worth, though, I’d much rather you stayed with UK factories for future versions. £70 is dirt cheap anyway, and the local economy needs support. Cheers.
Excellent work fellows, mat is an absolute winner, very very chuffed but keep production in Derbyshire! £70’s cheap as chips anyway and most people would much rather by summat British made.
Look forward to shopping with you again.
You guys rock!
Just received my phud having ordered it yesterday. Being made in the UK is a monumental positive - buy British!!! Top approach to design, sales and customer service, keep it up.
Can’t wait to get out with my phud next week - will keep you posted.
Looking forward to buying some more of your gear.
Thanks again,
Rich.
Mat still going strong, unlike me! Please keep the production in the UK, it’s a big selling point and you know it’s the right thing.
I am waiting for my new phud, cant wait. I like the fact that they are made here in the UK and i think many wouldnt mind paying an extra tenner to keep production in the UK? £70 is still a bargain!
Latest news is Phud should be back with us the first week in November.

Great mat, big, reassuring and easy to use. But how do I convert the rucksac strap to a shoulder strap? Cheers.
Bought the Phud a while ago, but finally got to try it out t’other day after much anticipation. Realy pleased with it - it’s undoubtedly much more comfortable than falling on rocks with the added joy of having not reamed my wallet - yay! Also very light and easy to carry, though was interesting tyring to walk with it on my back across a windy, exposed beach!

thanks for the new phud next day delivery!what i would change is the harder impact foam on the carrying side so you can fold the crap of the floor inwards when you’ve finished and not have it on your back when you carry the pad.keep it as uk as poss people will pay a litle extra i’m sure.
