ah amazing! I’ll pop into Condor in the afternoon, have been meaning to get some abr1 pocket bibs stitched up for a while, but have been longing it off, but work isn’t too far away.
Thanks, it’s a great service that you guys run 🫡

Didn't mean it to come across as overpriced, more a reflection of my current economic situation. Based on my owned items I know it'll be grand.
Must have been the new blue zoa that I saw in photos. I've seen the Josh special ultralight but had hoped it had gone in to mass production!

Alas, no great slight here, simply that it was underpriced last year, and inflation, global price rises knocking on. At the core, fibre/fabric processing/production uses a lot of energy (heat, water) so all mills' pricing are up. Think you can see these price increase across many textile products. It's frustrating to see, but similarly we (the consumers/users) had high-quality/attractive-pricing for so long*.
@Joepud01; I did use a lightweight Zoa to make a gilet ...skip to 8m50 here;

but will feedback request for commercial version!
@Bossman similarly, I did make/attach a hood to an Ultralight Insulated for Josh Ibbett (Tour Devide '22). ...maybe this could be an option on next gen Ultralight Insulated...
Scuffs & Tears free-repairs this Wednesday 22nd at Condor Cycles, from 8.00am - 14.00, then evening session 17.00-20.30 at Via Atelier , with a screening of Le Coursier. All welcome! We'll have repair patches to take away if you don't have time to stick around, or just pop in to say hi :)
*forum 10% disc is still working but let me know if not and I'll look into it. Sometimes gets cranky with site updates.
