Hi all, sorry been busy and under the weather of late - think I'm out the other side now,
Zoa hats are now looking at a release after Black Friday/early Dec. Honestly, there's like 14 of them (50/50 black/blue) but I want to secure some for LFGSS in some way. Watch this space.
For Black Friday, Look Mum have kindly agreed to let us setup a repairs station for the day (the Friday 25th Nov). Similar as last years popup, offering free repairs for scrapes & tears on any brand cycle-clothing.
Often technical kit can be rendered useless by a relatively trivial problem like a snagged tear in a rainjacket, or scuffed up bibs. Idea is to keep all kit running for longer with some simple fixes, and demonstrate basic repairs/upgrades. It's worth considering clothing like you do a bike, and that you can repair/fix/upgrade if parts become worn out or damaged.
There's interesting developments happening in electronics & white goods with Right To Repair and Extended Producer Responsibility but will take a while before legislation cascades to apparel and accessories, but hopefully this is a good inspiration/provocation to start aligning with better design and EPR.
