ben, am i right in saying that from your post any waterproofs , jacket or trousers need to have the fully sealed seams? ..i have found jacket and trousers that are light weight and easy to fold/pack from the little trekkers website for kids tht seren mentioned....in the sale i can get a jacket for £17 (fully wind and waterproof) and trousers for £11 or £6..again waterproof and seam sealed.bargain?
yes do !! there are some easy pack jackets and trews cragc, im going to grab the jacket i think. goes up to age 12 so should be fine for me and you....may have to opt for barbie pink of course
Can anyone recommend some decent ladies running trousers? I've got a couple of pairs of skins, but with the cold weather they are really more of a base layer. I'm looking for something that is going to keep me warm on the long distance now we're into winter (felt like winter had finally arrived this morning!). I've got a lot of training ahead with my first 44 miler (http://fortyfourmiles.blogspot.com) in june so looking for all the comfort I can get.
Jesse - I just wear ROn Hill tights when it is cold - they are pretty thick. If it is particularly cold (as it was -15 last winter) I put a pair of med length shorts over the top. You could also just wear a cheapo pair of footless tights underneath the Ron hills if you are still cold.
Incidentally I been keeping an eye on this shop on ebay as they have some real good Montane bargains.
I just got some Craft ones and they are warm and very comfortable, just did a 40 mile ultra around the Brecon Beacons in them Legs never felt cold and when they got wet dried really quickly.
And I'm a triathlete, so I'm smooth most of the year too. I guess I'll have to let myself get hairy if I want to be an ultra runner, it's probably the key difference between the disciplines.

If these garments are marketed as being waterproof, then they should have fully taped seams.
The low cost reflects the fact that VAT is not charged on children's clothing.
Since you are ordering the product online, your statutory rights allow you to return it for a cash refund if it is not what you thought.
ben, the description says fully waterproof and taped seams yes
do you work for trading standards lol

Have a look at http://www.mightcontainnuts.com/ got Craft stuff on buy one get a second half price at the moment.
Got some More Mile ones as well. Cheaper and not as well built. Also the material can catch the hairs on your legs and rip them out.
I am a hairy triathlete
Real men may wear pink, but they certainly don't wax
Real men?
