I'm in trouble....

[Dougster]

On Saturday I found myself in Hilltrek utterly surrounded by ventile. I feel the wrath of the bank manager already.

Anyone got one from them?

It's good stuff, but either you love or loathe it.

Just wondering if any on here uses Hilltrek over some of the other makes. I would really like to support a local company that makes in house but it will hurt the wallet.

Had one of their smocks for a bout 15 years and still going strong. Its about as waterproof as a bog roll but comfy and windproof.

I’ve not tried any Hilltrek gear, but I can recommend Keela if you want to keep things close to home.

Actually, scratch that, I had a google. Some is made in the UK, but some abroad.

I think Hilltrek make all their kit in Braemar. I had ventile a few years ago and wasn't impressed with it as a waterproof, as a windproof and comfort A*. I read an article that scotched the claim that it was used as 'dry bags' for aircrew. It may have been trialled though. I have often thought of getting a Hilltrek smock though.

Hilltrek make their stuff in Aboyne which is on the road to Braemar.
