Berghaus Unveils Spring Collection

Budding outdoor fashion divas should get themselves over to the Berghaus web site for a sneak preview of the Yves St.Berghaus Spring 2001 collection.

We've already covered some of the stuff in our November show report from sunny Harrogate - throbbing heart of the outdoors fashion industry - but there's a lot more besides including...

Summer trekking lewear, mostly named after animals including Wolf, Coyote and, er, Polecat.

Polecat? To quote the Collins Concise English Dictionary:

1. A dark brown musteline mammal of Europe, Asia and N.Africa that is closely related to, but larger than, the weasel and gives off an unpleasant smell. 2. US a nontechnical name for a skunk

Hmmm... So if your mates smell a bit funny this summer, you'll know why.

Also, take a look at the new, lightweight Aquafoil Lite Mamba waterproof jacket and its smocky brother, the Gecko. Looks like a PacLite jacket but only costs 85 quid, putting it in the same league as stuff like the Lowe Alpine Adrenaline.
