I know commercial interests aren't allowed here, but I thought today would be an exception. This is just to let you know I'm taking pre-orders for my new Fiboconcha XD carbon-fibre camino shell. It's now 14% lighter than the previous model.

You're not going to want to load your ultralight pack down with a clunky old fashioned shell, which can weigh anything up to 100 grammes. This is where my new product comes in. PM me if you're interested. These are a limited edition run, so first come first served...

If it resists 500lbs, can I use it as a step to reach those shelves that are always a millimeter too high in the albergues kitchen?

Teflon coated means I can use it to slurp Caldo gallego and it will be clean again with a quick wipe?

Due to the modern materials, will i still be considered a true pilgrim if I carry a Fiboconcha?

I gave up carrying the shell, they were always breaking leaving me with a shard hanging from a red string. Now I have a blue shell patch that doesn't break and is not as heavy.
