Last Call For Ultrafleece...

We were over with the nice people at Mountain Equipment yesterday having a sneak preview of their Autumn / Winter 2003 range and it's very, very nice...

One other thing we noticed though, was that while you'll still be able to buy Ultrafleece pants and salopettes come September, ME has quietly dropped all its Ultrafleece tops from the range.

It's kind of a shame as the good old Ultrafleece Mountain jacket, complete with hood and thumb loop thingies was one of the enduring classics of UK outdoor clothing and, one of our all time fave British condition fleeces with a great combination of wind resistance, thermal insulation - warm but not too warm - and wick-/breathability.

That's progress though and technology rolls on, the bottom line though is that if you want a Mountain Equipment Ultrafleece top, you'd best get one by the end of the summer or you won't be getting one at all...
