Wild camping - rinse in water is fine. 

At night get to work with a nit comb.  Gets all the KAK out and is quite therapeutic....

If a designer presented that to tme I'd be asking what kind of discount kak do they think I'm peddling?

I'm seeing Apkit as a niche brand trying to compete on price - not a Discount brand these are two separate concepts entirley.

This is fine for a non-aspirational discount brand.  It's not going to build brand loyalty - I for one would feel embarrassed wearing the logo of that company.  I have Alpkit stuff and the "clean yet funky" look is one of the strongest elements of their design.

Reasons to dislike:

- flashing kak

- confused layout

- poor brand presentation

NB In the post Ad/script/flash-block world this site does not render well....... actually, same can be said for OM.....

One (nearly lost)  alpkit customer of some years....

Submitting a forum message in Firefox is very slow.  Camino, Safari and Opera have all crashed out with me... not great..... so I'm restriicted to waiting till I have access to a Windows machine....

 Competitions I can't enter with any bowser or OS... I'll just have to remain sockless....
