The green North Face 4 point jacket I was going to order was 25% off in store, and I found a lovely Patagonia jacket for Mrs H at half price (normally £220) which is in a lovely turquoise/blue colour:

There are some really nice items in the sale too, including Arc'Teryx, TNF, Marmot, and other branded outerwear.

I just need a new hat to go with the green jacket now, and a new pair of ski gloves.



haha, Tony if we do end up on the slopes and in the bars this season we will look like a TNF photoshoot ;)

the better half went a bit nuts at a TNF sale in Glasgow, I ended up with base layers, mid layers, hiking shirt, hoodie, 2 jackets and a doubletrack 28 case/luggage thing. Showing my age and impending mid-life crisis, I spent most the week playing with the luggage.

Keep this up and you'll need a bigger apt :mrgreen:

Why are you heading for a mid life crisis? It's a state of mind, so are you feeling middle aged all of a sudden? :shock:

There's nothing like a mid life crisis to justify some new passion, or a non essential expenditure. I've had several of them :wink:
because I'm so inclined .....

I think a new time trial bike will help me get through mine.

You hit the nail on the head Trencher :) I have even been seen pricing up poles of all things!! The walking type before anyone asks.

Nice bike Bandit but someone has gone and ruined it by putting an engine in it! Pedal power for me. :roll:

Someone mention mid life.. Im doing stupid things like a marathon, triathlon, Great North Swim and trying out Kite Surfing! Getting a bike or a convertable would be so much easier!
