Hi Guys. Buying my first set of gear after two really good trips. This caving lark is definitely for me. Just wanted to run through with some people before I spends my money.
Most caving I'll be doing will be in the peaks I think if that affects what I'm looking at.
I'm fancying this undersuit http://www.inglesport.com/caving-equipment/caving-clothing/undersuits/warmbac-fleece-undersuit.html
Mostly because it includes some reinforced kneepads as I don't agree well with add on kneepads. Anyone reckon theres a better suit out there with inbuilt kneepads?
This oversuit http://www.inglesport.com/caving-equipment/caving-clothing/oversuits/warmbac-cordura-oversuit.html
Anyone reckon PVC would be better?
A petzl pika 3 as I can attach this to an old climbing helmet with ease (good headtorch attachments on it). Anyone got any opinion whether its better to get the one that runs on AA or the rechargeable one?
And for a back up light I was thinking I could use my fenix HL30 which I already have.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. I'm not hugely fussed on cost but cheaper is always preffered
