Had them for some time here. The thermaglaze ones are an extra 87p which I personally feel is a tad on the high side.

"Fenestration"? Why would anyone want a window in their snurble gripthribley? It just doesn't make sense.

Doesn't that make them too brittle for normal use?claymore wrote:The thermaglaze ones are an extra 87p which I personally feel is a tad on the high side.
Re: Fenestrated snurble grip-thribleys
They're not intended for 'normal use' dear. These are the fenestrated ones so obviously any enhancement to the glazing should be worth it in this climate.

Re: Fenestrated snurble grip-thribleys
That's all very well, but how often, in real life, would you ever need a fenestrated one? Duncan yacht chandlers in Scotland Street, Glasgow, sell a perfectly acceptable traditional model in stainless steel for a fraction of the cost of one of these stupid carbon fibre fenestrated bullocks.

Rubbish, the glass is heavier than the cut out it needed for it & putting holes in things is bound to weaken them.Nick wrote:They are lighter and stronger when fenestrated.Arghiro wrote:"Fenestration"? Why would anyone want a window in their snurble gripthribley? It just doesn't make sense.
The only benefit is that it might see you thro the season.
