Starting out?

PC - Yeah I think you're right.  Will be a shame to see the Extreme go for sale so may keep it for dry winter days.

Trying to get my hands on a Montane Flux to replace the too small Torres (found the large too baggy and too short - depends on the length.

Hi Toxic Sherlock

Can you email me please, so we can iron out the details?

cheers

Wallace, if you want to avoid spambot-frenzy, may I suggest you edit out that email addy?

You can always contact folk by clicking on their 'names'. 

HTH 

I've got the email wallace and will be in touch - you can drop it from the forum now if you want to avoid spamhell

TA 

Wallace - you've got mail

Thanks

How do i edit..............not done it before?

You can still edit after another person posts if you do it with a short time period.

If you email the editor on jon AT outdoorsmagic.com (replace AT with "@") he'll edit it out for you.

And typing your email addy that way may fool the spambots  

thanks Parky

but the edit was only on my last message.........any other ideas?

Thanks NPC

Jon emailed.  Oh the haste of youth!

You'll like the Trekker hoodie, I've been using one with an Explorer top under it and a Fuera wind smock or Montane Lightspeed.

As the trekker zips completely open it can be used on hotter days, it's reversible and has pocket access both sides. 

Pity about the Torres as I think it's one of Paramo's better garments and I use mine a lot.

Re:   Applying TX-Direct to the Montane Extreme Smock mentioned earlier... 

I talked to Montane today and they don't recommend the use of wash-in... I checked the Buffalo website and they say the same

Bit cheesed off as the Montane care label says to use TX-Direct but with no mention that only the spray-on version is kosher.  Nothing on their website either.

What a pain.

Odd that. 

I'd noticed that the label on my Montane Toasty jacket from a couple of years ago recommends spray-on but the newer stuff (Prism & Flux) suggest wash-in.  All Pertex outer + synthetic insulation so why the difference?  Very odd, or maybe just a cock-up on the labelling front.

Ah, should have checked first.  You're right.  The older one specifies spray-on but the more recent labels just say TX Direct without specifying the type.

Thanks for the update Dave, as a consequence I've emailed Montane as below:

Thanks again for the reply.

Just checked the label of the smock and it only says "Use TX-Direct" it doesn't specify wash-in or spray-on, nor does the website say anything that I can find. It's a bit irritating really.

Perhaps the labels should be changed, as apparently they did use to specify spray-on. It may be that whoever did the labels texts wasn't aware that the "Direct" name applies to both products - it can be confusing.

Hope this helps.

Doubt I'll get a replacement though...

good job i don't get confused by reading labels.....

i did a wash-in with my toasty jacket. doesn't seem to have done it any harm..in fact i'm wearing it in my picture---->
