Well, some of you may recall some time ago, I was raving about the fact I'd bought a stillwater Nightstalker Nylon cargo sporran from Jerry and was most impressed with the quality of service as well as the sporran itself.

At the time I promised a review and really did mean to get right on it but I have found that my free time is somewhat curtailed by bad planning in that I have an 18 year age difference between my oldest and youngest children and their demands on my time though different, are fairly constant. Ooooh the joys of parenthood.

Anywhoo, not wishing to wander off my own topic (it's not hard for me really) I guess I should get to it and come up with the goods. If you've already got one of these you'll be familiar with the product so I won't take offence if you skip off to another thread.

Firstly Stillwater Kilts customer service is excellent. I've covered this already so I'll not bore you with it again.

The sporran arrived within two weeks of clicking the paypal confirm button. I think that's pretty swift considering I'm so many transatlantic miles away and once Stillwater have consigned it to the cogs of the postal services it's out of their hands really. There was no duty to pay on arrival but again I suspect this is down to chance.

The packaging was more than adequate to protect the contents in transit.

The sporran itself, Nylon construction. Good stitching. High quality zip closure. Lots of space inside and opens to halfway down the sporran sides allowing plenty of space for big hands.

One downside, it doesn't come with a belt. I resolved that with a 1/2 inch, black leather ladies belt I picked up in some shop I was being dragged round.

Me thinks pictures are better than words so here goes:



This is the cut of the jib... How it looks when on.



Here is the sporran without belt and all pockets closed




Front pocket used for loose change



Lift up the front pocket and there is a larger pouch tucked away, ideal for mobile phone



The main pouch opens really wide using the heavy duty zips. I can carry my wallet and keys in there without any problems



In fact it's so roomy I found plenty of space to tuck away a few other celtic essentials. It's a great bit of kit and I'm more than happy with it.

Do you like the kilt pin by the way?

I do! Oh yeah... That goatie has got to go!!
