Anyone found it? Tried it?

One of the things I noticed at the show at the NEC was that Nikwax have got a new insect repellent out (quite a few of them it seems). I might have been tempted to try it out but my wad of cash for gear was rapidly decreasing.......

I've looked on their webby and it seems interesting, but who actually stocks it? I emailed them to ask when it's out properly but no response yet. Anyone tried it?

Hi Gaz, thanks for coming onto the stand at the NEC. 

The launch of SkitiStop was very successful for us with great feedback. As the retailers themselves have only been told about it distribution channels are limited at the moment.

Some E retailers that stock it are

www.waterproofing-world.co.uk

www.jacksandjills.co.uk

www.simplyhike.com

If you have any questions re the range please contact me.

I cannot say too much on this thread as it might seem as advertising and go against the code of conduct so a private email or telephone call will be fine.

Thanks

Quite right Matthew.  It would have been wrong for you to quote this here.

Though since Matthew from Nikwax is around, let me air my beef about the Nikwax site.  If I click "how to buy" on this product's page I am asked for my postcode, and then given a list of all local shops who stock any Nikwax or Paramo product.  Almost invariably they don't stock the product I am interested in, and never have.

shot selves in foot as the covent garden paramo store doesn't have it. nor the travel wash gels.

Unfortunately with retail as it is, and given the size of our range it is very difficult to ensure that all products are available to purchase at a specific store. Ranges even change amongst stores within the same chains. Always best to ring before hand. However, this is where the online retailers are scoring points because they can hold very large ranges of products and are normally in stock, we sell a lot of larger sizes (1litre and 5 litre) of TechWash and TX Direct through the online retailers. This is also the case for many manufacturers out there and is where traditional bricks and mortar retailers need to up their game amd embrace E-retailing as well.

With regards to the Paramo shop, they are like any other retailer and have systems in place for ordering new lines. They should have them in by the end of this week though. 

Thanks

i thought the paramo shop was yours i.e. owned by paramo? should you not ensure it is fully loaded with all the range? mm! not sure that sounded right. just a question. it's no great bother for me as i can pop in there anytime with only minor incovenience to my travel.

after all, only found out about the new product from this post.
