Albion, nice and a reasonable amount of pocket locations

I'd be interested in reading about this from someone who knows what they're talking about ;)

P(SA)lease save this thread from sizing advice, they do free shipping over £100 just buy a few sizes and keep the one that works

I love this as a follow up to a chat on a sustainability - just buy more with more packaging and ship stuff more. Or..ask for sizing advice and avoid it. Hardly like sizing advice plagues this thread.

Mmmmhmmmm

Or go to Condor!

does reproofing actually work? is it not a scam, like bay leaves

Reproofing does work but so does keeping your kit clean so it can breath . Stuff like grangers and the very pc friendly nikwax do great stuff to extend the life of clothing . Not only pertex and gore.
Their are a few jackets now on the market rab montane and mountain equipment using the new laminates.

The New Mountain Equipment Makalu Jacket is Mountain Equipment’s first venture into Gore’s new PFC-Free GORE-TEX ePE. This new waterproof / breathable membrane is made from expanded Polyethylene instead of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) used in all other GORE-TEX products.

You can re-use Bay leaves too...

did a bay leaf write this

What’s the best way to stop this wee little hole in my mini backpack becoming catastrophic?

Will be doing (free) 'scrapes-&-tears, rapid-repairs' on any brand kit, all welcome!

@mrJL Great to see the bag being thoroughly used :) Send me your address and I'll get some patches in the post (and @6pt same, I did message back!)

Hero!

Film sounds great, hope it released on YouTube at some point.

Anyone tried a Visibility Cargo Vest? Seems about right for something I have planned

Yes, I rode one this summer to Portugal. Cracking bit of kit as usual.

Comfortable? And how reflective are they?

Edit - out of stock... balls.

Lovin the Long Sleeve Ultra Jersey in Rosin @Chopsicle... will make my mind up about the waterproof soon as well ;)

Find someone who loves you the way Albion loves putting pockets in weird places.

(looking forward to trying on the ultra jersey)

^Cheers! - exciting to see this launch.

V quick message on my way to Lakes; hq have told me Zoa Insulated in Orange & Blue now in stock (Lichen coming soon) plus Trail Hunter …at a nice price!

Certainly will be trying the new long sleeve when funds allow, fingers cross size doesn't sell out.

@Chopsicle any news of more burner musettes in the pipe line? I see Condor have black ones but I was holding out for an orange one.👌
