Ray mear's trousers

[Wayland]

Here in the nordic countries we make a diffrence between fjäll and mountain. For us it´s two diffrent things.

And in Cumbria we have nothing that a Norwegian would really call a mountain....

Does anyone know whether Ray sells second hand kit? You know, money off for soiled trousers and so on?

What kind of material is G1000? how does it compare to Polycotton? is Polycotton resistant to sparks etc?

Thanks Viking. That answers most of my questions, except about Polycotton's ability to resist campfire sparks. anyone have any idea how good (or bad) it is?

It´s vert rare that sparks hit me, I ahve used gortex around fires without any probelms. And polycotton and sparks should not be a problem unless you fall into the fire.

hey roy's badger, thought you might like to know a mate of mine was given a pair of ullfrotte woollen long johns by ray after he gave him his heroes of telemark presentation. Not sure if they were pre worn though. My mate wore them the whole time we were in norway; think he may have had to burn them after that.

 

[Roy's Badger]

Big thump, liggers!

they would be just the job, but I don't think they would be great after somenone else had worn them... Ullefrote is the best though, eh?

 

[lignum vitae]

yeh, my undercrackers were cotton and ok but i've since got some ullfrotte gear myself and its much better. Ray didn't handle mine first though.

 

[Roy's Badger]

Handled your what...?
