Ventile Poncho

[malcolmc]

So who's ordered one?

...
Where did the other 3 interested blokies go :yo:

I'm awaiting a query response from Hilltrek before ordering.

An update for everyone who had ordered one. We knew that production and delivery would be 4-6 weeks. Its been about a month - so I dropped Dave at Hilltrek as line. It looks like there has been a very slight delay in getting materials in and he is giving the production team a break over Christmas after a busy year. He expects that the ponchos will be ready early in January - basically a delay of two weeks or so on top of long estimate of 6 weeks - taking us to end of second week of Jan at the earliest.

From Dave:

"It looks like it will be early new year before we can deliver.
We are awaiting a delivery of fabric which has been delayed and is now
holding us up.

We were hoping to get the work done before Christmas but is unlikely to
be completed even when the fabric arrives this week. Our workshop team
are on holiday from the 24th to the 5th hence it will be the early new
year.

I apologise for this.

Best Regards
Dave"

I was interested in one of these, so should explain that funds have been a bit committed elsewhere recently so haven't ordered it yet. Just keeping my powder dry a bit longer on this one and realise I may miss the opening deal. Chris

Great news!
It's bound to herald an unseasonably dry and warm spell I bet

My understanding is that if you find the Hilltrek link for the poncho and stick in an order you'll be OK.
Waiting to hear about the results of the first run as I type

edited to say, here it is

Littlebiglane’s post 11-11-2008, 20:04 gives ordering info from Hilltrek.

The link to the item is http://www.hilltrek.co.uk/acatalog/c..._Trousers.html

At the moment the post with the list of people who have placed orders is mine of 24-12-2008, 18:44; when you've placed an order with Hilltrek cut and paste the most recent list into your post and add your name.

Beat me to it Beachlover, I must lobby harder for a broadband service here!

Just happened to be checking the thread. Is anyone else getting a bit excited about receiving theirs in the hope of testing it in this wet spell?
Keep lobbying for the broadband tho
