 A technical jacket made for Gore-tex paclite. Thats a move for craghoppers who were one of the first to use event fabric. However looking at that jacket it doesn't look like it has a water repellent zip or a double flap and therefore leaves some design issues that may assist the ingress of water. Also are all those pockets really necessary, I suppose if your thrashing your way through the local forest as a short cut to the pub for a spot of venison.

 Wait 3 months and get it at TKMAXX for a third of the MRP.

 I'm sure Ray Mears will have instructions on how to make a technical jacket from pine needles, grass stems and ground wood ants

The down jacket is apprantly extremely comfortable. "It so warm and comfy it's like staying in a hotel" Said Bear recently.

 Utter arse of the highest order as you might expect. Bear Grills (whatever....) took 10 years to stumble upon the rambly delights of Craphoppers . Yer, right. ££££££'s more like. The gimp.

 Hurrah for Bare Grills!! I can sleep easy in my bed now, which is clothed in a mixture of understated beige and vibrant "survival" purple, impregnated with Wasp Attractant featuring button-down flapoids with 3-way zip-ups. Not forgetting the handy retracting/telescopic hanging bungee and emergency light.

 I hope the clothing comes with instructions on how to powt and look moody whilst covered in mud & looking for tasty maggots..
mike (no to the fence)(whats that all about by the way?)is correct, wait 6 months and buy in tkmax if interested.

 I rather like the idea that it took Bear ten years to find any clothing that was suitable for him. I also like the idea that the colour palate both stands out and blends in at the same time: 'The colour palette of the Autumn Winter 2008 range is a true reflection of Bear’s character, based around the important survival colours of bold, bright, orange and red, fused with understated, natural colours of khaki, winter white, pebble and moss that are truly sympathetic to the environments in which Bear spends most of his time.'I dunno, some of you are so cynical...

Burp.
I changed it from Mike fae Dundee, to remind people of Paul Listers plans for his private zoo on the Alladale estate. He wants to build a 3m high electric fence, stretching 35 miles, around his estate. A Munro and a couple of Corbetts are on the estate. Walkers will be banned if he gets permission to go ahead. Even though it's illegal under Scottish access law!

 Knitted rib cuffs and hem. Just so wrong...
|
|
> how to powt and look moody whilst covered in mud It probably comes with a make-up kit in a suitable 'natural mud' colour palette, so you can do your own Bear-alike look... That's what Bear does, isn't it? I can't see how he manages to stay so muddy all the time otherwise...
|
|
Craghoppers reputation (Albeit a limited one) took a kicking from Bear's 'Hotelgate' scandal. I quite liked the look of the Nosquito shirt, but the Bear Grylls logo above the pocket screamed 'tosser wannabee' !!

He'd be wise not to bring out a range of shoes as I think his choice of footwears to blame, he must be constantly falling over to stay so muddy all the time. And thats the 'Bear facts..'
Sorry I know, I couldnt help meself.

He's probably got a life time of camo cream left over from his days in the forces, nice shades of brown and green on either end but if he's got the american stuff in a nice green plastic box then he can have 5 shades of these. Then all he needs is a nice little brush to apply it and hey presto makeup for the screen.

You mean his 3 years in the TA?

I've got a Craghoppers Corey microfleece - good bit of kit. Think hi-tech Norwegian army shirt
|
|
 I like my Craghoppers' stuff, good value (TKMax) but I will not wear anything with Bare Gyrls splashed on its left breast or anywhere else, even inside a pocket, for that matter.

If he did a range of underwear would it be called the 'Bear essentials'..? I guess it would have to be a thong so it could double up as a catapult to shoot wolves with.
