I've had a £40 TXMaxx gift card singeing a hole in my pocket since mrs m and mespilus jr took the easy way out for a birthday present.
Perusing the rails in Ealing TKMaxx I saw an easily visible borderline pink/matt red short cagoule type waterproof. It fitted me, had taped seams, and the label proclaimed Pertex Shield AP.
I did not realy notice any branding, as it is a single external discrete roundel,
indicating PS.
Label also suggested RRP was £395, Outlet Price £264.
TK Maxx had it at £43.
Never had a article of clothing made from Pertex Shield AP before.
Very lightweight, windproof, and only so far worn it in a light rain shower.
