Model citizens!
If said the word Yak the older readers will remember a brand of cutting edge designs and materials, the younger readers will know good solid products well priced! However this year Yak has done something rather surprising! With a new design team inserted into there corridors the new 2009 range of cags are truly fabulous!!!
Last week we had a little photo shoot for the new kit down at the Tryweryn. I’ve been paddling some of the pro type cag’s for a few months now but this was the first time I had seen the production items and got to use them! Firstly the new materials are top notch! Really very good, there are 3 new materials, a new 2 layer great and light weight but still nice and warm, a new 2.5 layer fabric witch is great, super warm and really durable and a new 3 layer fabric witch has a 4 way stretch! A really good technical fabric, works really well, super strong but great to the touch. Also the new colour ways are a really change from the norm! Yes sir can have camouflage if he wants! Or there are some very visible Brown/Yellow or Blue/Black alternatives. And last but most important alley the whole range has been totally re worked (no little tweaks here!) totally new designs tried and tested by there team over the last year have produced some of the best dry tops I’ve ever worn. But don’t take my word for it! They will be in the shop in a few weeks come in and be amazed. Yak have raised there game to a totally different level. Come and try them.
As for the photo shoot we had a great day. I arrived in Bala late Thursday evening; luckily Mr Pete Ford (possibly the best rep in our industry) was there, we drunk a lot! I learnt how to pour a pint and Havana Gold makes a great rum and coke!
The next morning was hard but we had a great time, Mr Evans had popped over from the plastic bread bin! For a paddle and Craig and Daniel also from the Thames Valley were there to test the kit and show it off. A great day was had by all.
Oh, Yak also has the most amazing pair of shorts! Really good, one day hopefully you will all see them!
