Weigh about 65g for a 35-622 tube
apparently more puncture resistant than regular tubes
cost ... £40 ...
Anyone brave enough to try them?

Eclipse Inner Tubes
If I had a baby elephant, I would put it on a recumbent trike so that it would become invisible.

yes...I will.....send a couple over to me 
Re: Eclipse Inner Tubes
At £40 are they cunningly made of a type of rubber that we can not put patches on either?
They are half the weight of the Conti Cross 28s that I use with my 35mm tyres so I quite like the idea of saving 64g per wheel but I think that I will save £40 per wheel by NOT buying them instead.

Interesting review here.

It's quite a weight saving but it does say you need special repair patches. I fancy a large part of the price is the result of their Swiss origin - no doubt they or something similar will be a lot cheaper once somebody in the Far East cottons on.
