hahaha.. very funny, was the selling point... 'these jocks will make your 'package' appear larger' , but just don't expect to have children later ?

Yeah, I know most stores have an 'agenda' however I would hope that these outdoor stores do not encourage a sell-at-all-cost mentality. The general public are much more aware then in years gone by and if sales staff are found to give bad advice then there won't be return sales in future and worse still, word of mouth will mean that the store may lose credibility.

Yeap, mtnbear, I am still to make an informed opinion about packs.. still shopping around, however I was interested to get others feedback as this bit of information seemed abit suspect... but i could be wrong and the sales assistant might have been giving me some good advice. I just wasn't sure.
