Pre-order Lowe's eVENT And Save 20 Per-Cent

There's a fabby scoop offer coming your way from 1 July, if you pre-order from Lowe Alpine's new range of top-end eVENT technical mountain jackets and pants, you'll be able to save a whopping 20 per-cent on the list price.

All you have to do is pre-order and reserve your jacket by the end of August at participating retailers throughout the UK and Ireland and you'll automatically get 20 per-cent off. The final list of retailers isn't available yet, but you'll be able to find it on the Lowe Alpine web site from the beginning of July.

Impressive Performance

OM regulars will recall that we've been highly impressed with the performance of the prototype Lowe eVENT jacket and pants we've been using for around six months. We reckon that along with Gore's New Paclite, it's significantly more breathable than any other conventional waterproof fabric we've used.

The test jacket has evolved into the top of the range Evolution jacket - pictured - but when we previewed the new range earlier this year - see links at the bottom of this article - we liked the more conventional Elite jacket and the smock version. The pants are basically the same as the test pants we've been using and work very well indeed.

Lowe Alpine is going to be using Gore-Tex from autumn/winter 2004 at which point, it seems that none of the major brands will be using eVENT, so if you want it, you have about 12 months...
