In reply to purplemonkeyelephant:
I think - as I've said before on various threads before - there's a big difference between a test and a review.
As a quick definition (courtesy of Google) of what each entails, a test is "a procedure intended to establish the quality, performance, or reliability of something" whereas a review is a critical appraisal of how it performed in use. With specific reference to the Sirocco, we all know it's passed all of the relevant CE + EN tests - if it hadn't it wouldn't be available; as such, the big question how it actually performed in reality.
I am, like many others, genuinely interested to hear how Theo got on: how it lived up to being stuffed in rucksacks, how worn it's looking after 8 weeks of thorough use (and just have a look at Theo's logbook to see how thorough that is!!), whether or not he felt the design changes to the top made a difference, if there was wear around the edges where the compound/material changes, and so on and so forth.
Still, I'm aware different people want different things, but this is what we aim to provide.
