Burners

Hello everyone! ...sorry for the silence, been busy - I'm going to round-up/answer all the outstanding q's in a bit (postage, collection etc).

Good news! The reason I've been busy is I was able to get hold of another 2 metres of the insulation, so there's another wave going out later this afternoon :)

....great to hear 1st round are arriving, been meaning to do a 101 run-down on the product;

MATERIALS
Recycled micro-ripstop nylon. The ciré back of the fabric (shiny glossy finish) gives low air permeability. I've flipped this out on the back, to amp up the textures
The fill is Clo, Vivo Performance: Eco a recycled insulation, perforated to improvability

WASH & CARE
They're robust and fine to go in any wash, but - as with any textiles - over-agitation of long, aggressive wash cycles will diminish their lifespan, particularly the insulation fill. Use as simple a setting as possible, 30º or 40º basic wash / delicates / handwash. Whatever works for you, don't loose sleep over it!
I wouldn't recommend tumble-drying, they'll dry quick in any case.
If they do get creased, if they're stored for a long time, a medium-cool (nylon) setting on an iron will press out. Just press lightly - too much heat and pressure will crush & heat-set the insulation.

USAGE
....is basically however you like!

Stuff under bibstraps to add a windproof/insulation layer to any outfit. Concept is to extend the range & convenience of use, with minimal weight and bulk. You can position how you like - higher on a cold day to cover the neck, I wear mine 'portrait' but try 'landscape to get more shoulder coverage. Also good to cover legs if you're shivering at a train station....

It's a great addition in winter, but isn't a stand-alone winter product. ie. it won't to turn a lightweight jersey into a polar expedition suit ...but having said that, I wear every winter ride, simply because of the how much warmth it adds for so little weight

It really comes into its own in changeable conditions;
)Cool morning starts, and whip out when the sun has warmed things up
)Mountains where you might be cooking up on a long climb, before a long descent in cold air
)Race, wear under team kit, easy to take off/on, unlike a gilet or jacket
) Audax might encounter a variety of conditions, temperatures, riding into the night, and can boost the comfort range of any kit.

STUFF POCKET
Turn the Burner through itself into the pocket. Make sure it's stuffed into the corners, and then to get the 'tail' in when it's starting to pack tight, trick is to hold it in a fist, and stuff in from the top - pics below.

More info coming soon....
