New North Face gear

Yes, it's finally started arriving!

First off is the new "Aurora" 100 weight Polartec full zip fleece (see right in pink). With lovely detailing all round, stretchy side panels and cuffs and a great warmth to weight ratio, function and fashion are both covered in this lovely fleece. Also available in black.

Also in the ladies fleeces is the new "Sky Trail" tka 100 weight fleece. Once again this is full zip as many of you have been asking for the 100 weight fleeces with a full zip - well here they are. The "Sky Trail" has lovely stretchy thumb loop cuffs and has a very nuice fitted shape to it. Available in bright pink or black.

We have new colours in the fantastic "Upland" Jacket in both mens and womens as well as some new colours in our old favourite, the "Resolve" jacket. Both of these jackets are extremely good value, coming in at €135 and €100 respectively, both are very good waterproof shells. with the upland just having a tougher, more abrasion resistant outer fabric.

We also have a new coolmax ladies baselayer (below). The fabric of this piece feels very nice, like a soft animal, maybe a chinchilla.

And last but by no means least, a new, improved "Hedgehog" shoe in both Mens and Womens. The looks are the same but with new colours, an improved tread design and a new heel design (to increase snugness around the heel) the hedgehog is better than ever. I would love to show you a pic of it but it's so new there aren't any available yet!

Anyhoooo that's that for now so enjoy and see you soon.

I recently wrote a short blog on the jacket you see on the right and was unable to find a picture showing just how beautiful the colour is.

Anyway, i found two beautiful looking boys to wear the jacket for me and they let me take photos of them as well (as long as i took them out to buy some sweets later on). One of the boys was handsome, as you can see and the other one had a very hairy face and a massive hat on to hide his dome like head.

So that's that, the jackets great, the boys are lovely and we had a real nice time.

The handsome one is still single for some reason, i don't know why.

mmmmm..lovely.

Berghaus mens fleece vests.

Finally back in stock!

This item has been one of the most frequently requested over the past month or so so we are chuffed to have them back in. It's one of the most practical every day pieces of kit that we stock and anyone that has owned one will know how much use they get.

Anyway, there's not much to say about the spectrum fleece vest other than it's great quality, decently priced and everyone should own one. Oh and they are only €45.

cheers

the cabbage patch kid

Berghaus Micro fleece FULL ZIP!

Back in stock in all sizes are the mens full zip Spectrum micro-fleece from Berghaus. Colours are navy, black and a nice dark blue/light blue two tone combo (seen right).

It's getting harder to find full zip micro fleeces these days and this is a lovely piece of kit for only €55.

Berghaus womens softshell trousers

Hi de ho as one of my favourite tv characters would say.

Today we are looking at the womens "Ortler" pant, a fantastic lightweight softshell trouser.

These are a 3 season, water repellent trouser that have great ventilation zips on the legs, not that you'll need them very often as these trousers are completely breathable, virtually windproof and dry extremely fast if they do get wet. They come in a variety of leg lengths and look very smart on.

There's really not much else to say - they are great trousers for all year round use.

Smartwool merino back in stock!

We have smartwool merino back in stock - merino wool is superb stuff. Along with softshell it's my favourite material in outdoor clothing - I'm not going to go into all the details of why as most of you probably already know and if you don't then you'll just have to come in to see it and find out from us why it is so good.

Anyway, we have mens (tops and leggings) and womens (tops only at the mo) in and they are all lovely.

mmmmmm..merino.

a bientot my sheep loving friends.

Berghaus special offers!

I'll get straight to it - 3 pieces of lovely kit from Berghaus and at 1960's prices.

Ladies "Twister" softshell jacket.

Should be €120, now €80.

If you've not yet tried softshell, you really should - highly water repellent, windproof and properly breathable - unless it's hammering down this is all you will need to keep you dry, warm and not a hint of clammyness (yes, that is a real word).

Mens "High Trails" performance shell jacket.

Was €300, now only €200.

Unfortunately i can't find an image of the colour we have but it's a very nice dark red with lighter red panels under the arms (kind of like the picture on the right but in reverse).

Gore Tex Performance shell with the Gore-Tex Extreme wet weather guarantee, this jacket is built for the very worst conditions. With 4 external pockets and an additional internal map pocket (well it's tucked under the storm flap but easy to access without actually undoing your main zip) there's plenty of storage space too.

A double storm flap to cover the main zip and a really nice wired peak in the roll-away hood top this jacket off nicely. It is also compatible with a zip in fleece/softshell/insulated jacket so makes an ideal all year round piece of kit.

And to finish an old favourite, the spectrum half zip micro fleece in a classic navy and grey. What's to say, it's a lightweight fleece with a zip - keeps you warm without weighing much and it packs up nice and small. And it's been doing this job well for years.

Oh yeah and it's also reduced - from €45 to €36!

do zobaczenia pozniej moi przyjaciele :-)
