Q:
'OK, I'll admit up front, I'm a tight git. I ride a mountain bike and
go walking regularly and hate having to buy similar gear twice. Is
there anything I can get in a waterproof overtrouser that's comfy
enough to walk in all day, but also tightenable around my calves and
ankles and cut to be worn on a bike too?'
Q:
'My mother washed all my fleeces with regular washing powder and they
became kind of thinner and stiff. Can I save them by washing in
Nikwax Techwash or similar or do I have to go straight to the
shop?'
Q:
'Can you suggest a brand of suitable anti-balling plates to fit my
Salewa 12-point crampons?'
