Efgeeco Sherpa

Post by LuckyLuca »

An impulse buy the Efgeeco Sherpa II.
I haven't seen one of these before and the idea of a seat box with a back rest appealed. Not one I've seen mentioned in the Efgeeco catalogues pictured on here, I'm guessing it's one of their later offerings, 70's 80's even?

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Well done Lucca, a rare item indeed! I will be taking the version without the backrest to the Cane and Pin Match on Friday!

Wish I was still mobile enough to use one !!! A fine acquisition, Young Sir.

Don't lean back too hard, there's a flaw in the design unless you carry 10 stone of lead shot with you :Wink: Great buy though, haven't seen one of those for years.

If you saw my physique you'd think 10 stone of lead was involved :doh:

I had one of those, it was extremely heavy when empty.

Well done LuckyLuca - I guess it was a competitor to the Packaseat. One of the problems using a whicker basket is its inability to resist heavy rain from getting inside and soaking everything accordingly. I find the Packaseat with its waterproof covering ideal to keep the gear dry and this looks as though it will do the same.
