Well (following a discussion elsewhere on the forum) I pressed the button and am now the proud owner of a £69-95 Ebay special snorkel
It was UK stock and arrived within a day of ordering. The box was labelled SNK-170759.
At first I thought that the manufacturer has simply ripped off the photos from the official Safari snorkel webpage until I opened the box and found that - based on photographs - it is identical to the Safari product. I haven't got a Safari snorkel to compare it with but I certainly can't spot much difference. This version attaches to the A-pillar using three rivets rather than screws and plastic inserts in the Safari kit. This version obviously lacks the Safari branding and who knows whether it has the same UV resistance that Safari make such a big thing of, but in all honesty I can't imagine my Collie lasting long enough for that to matter. And at this price you can buy FOUR (and a bit) of these for the price of a Safari!
The accessories seem to be good quality and the whole thing appears to be quite solid. I'm looking forward to fitting and testing it, which won't be for a couple of weeks.
