Summer is here! Nearly…….
With summer fast approaching loads of new and exciting kit has been arriving in store over the last few weeks. We now have new kit from Peak UK Sweet & many others. Three bit in particular that have stood out for are……..
One the all new 2010 Peak UK
multi sport hoody. This is a great piece of kit made from Peak’s X2.5 material witch is super light and durable yet still highly breathable, for Open boaters and general touring this looks like the top to have in 2010. On another point!
These are awesome too.
Two the
new Rocker has arrived. Never have we sold so many of one helmet to so many people, and it just keeps getting better. This year the rocker now has a new Occi Grip retention system on the back of the Hat, if you have one you know, it’s the best out there…..
Three, it not too often I get excited about open boats, But but but! This Pocket Canyon from Esquif just rocks, I could be looking at my first Open boat.
“This compact, playful tandem canoe is ideally suited for short whitewater canoe trips that do not demand the length and cargo capacity of a larger (and heavier) tripping canoe. The Pocket Canyon also performs as well as many dedicated whitewater canoes used for day trips. This allows the canoe to serve double duty as both whitewater playboat, and technical river runner.
The Pocket Canyon's flared hull maintains a dry ride even in large choppy waves and the rockered ends, with a progressive chine, provides a stable carving edge ideal for catching eddies. Fast, stable and maneuverable, the Pocket Canyon has all the performance features you'll need to tackle exciting day river features, whether out for the day or on brief wilderness get away.” Length 14.5’ Width 34.5” Depth 16”
It's looking very nice PLUS don't forget 20th June is the date for our OPEN DAY, check out all the info
