Anyone get one yet, just wondering how they compare to the Ron Thompson's.

Yes i have the proto type on test for the last three months and they are brilliant much more room than Ron Thomson and easier to erect. They don't have that awful hockey stick bend at the end it makes them easier for transportation,they are also much more aerodynamic in windy conditions and two people can easily be accommodated side by side which make's it great if you have a junior or your partner with you.
I think they will be on sale in this country very shortly there is a big demand for them in the uk where they are waiting for them to come in also.

The simple answer is they are miles ahead of the ron thompsons. I have a ron thompson at the moment but not for much longer

[snots]

In my opinion i could not justify spending double the price of a ron thompson shelter for an item that does the same job.I am not saying there is anything wrong with the ian golds shelter, but like i say thats just my opinion.

[eric]

ive seen the ian golds shelter on the beach, and it does look very good, price will be the deciding factor for me but i would definitley consider getting on to replace my ron thompson

[dbrock]

As eric says price will play a big factor , any info on the rrp over here Paul?

That's gas i don't know the price yet, did Ian fill you in on the price let's know please???????

[dbrock]

I seen the rods in dun laoighaire angling and they were very well priced so good I nearly bought one,

[ShaneH]

They are in veals for £99 so it is double the price

I have from a reliable source that the when the new ron thomson shelter comes in stock it will retail at £80, i don't think that's double the price.

i think what he means if it's 80 stg that will mean 160 euro here.

I used my initiative and looked it up on veals,and they have them priced at £99.99 so Ian must have given them a price.

touchy is right i knew what shane meant aswell, not everyone did judging by the PM i got

just looking at this thread again and it's very Confusing some one is very Defensive and they dont know if there talking about a RON THOMSON his spelling shelter or an ian golds shelter

Id say the same if i was getting free shelters and rods from ian.....no need to be sending pms think you need a holiday

[bigsod]

I too was looking at the range of rods in Dun Laoighre but i am actualy put off buying any Ian Golds products by Pauls shamless plugging and attitude when questioned.

[dbrock]

The factor for a lot of people will be the timing, the winter and bad weather are here, but th igloo isn't, and I won't be buying 2 shelters so I know which one I'm using,

[JOHN1]

i know which shelter i will be using aswell the RON THOMPSON one i have been using the last 3 years And with the amount of service it gave me i will be Buying another RON THOMPSON SHELTER when my old RON THOMPSON SHELTER is handed down to someone looking for an old reliable RON THOMPSON SHELTER
