That’s a strange one, the Zulu. I’d love to see the mill in action doing the jigging on those handles. One of those knives that did nothing for me but I’m getting to like.
I had to move it on to fund a spits but it was lovely. Really smooth in the pocket and great f&f. I’d have another anytime

It looks lovely as an idea and the fit and action are excellent, I'll bet, but the jigging round the pivot is a bit of a faff, like it hadn't been thought through in the design philosophy/process. Really lost points there, I thought.

My first buffalo special 6 shirt in olive green which is another first. Wanted blue but nothing in my size around in blue and I saw my size in green so thought what the hell, it's about function not fashion right?

I have no olive green kit. My only green is a beanie made by montane in a rib knit and rather a bright green top. I don't like green and looking like a hunter or forces.

Just need to work out if I need to get the hood too. If to Norway late in this year and want to use the buffalo if I can. If bitter a hood might be good.

Wore it in light rain with a summer outdoors style cap and beading up but very dry inside. Wasn't as hot as I feared it would be. Might have to get something to go on to for Norway.

Already looked up dp hoods. Will get one I think.

Just got a pair of Scott spherical lens OTG ski goggles. Photochromic lens from s1 to s3. I'm not getting snow blindness on my ski trip.:)

Plus I can now rock the bug-eyed look on the slopes.

Next buy will be ski pants. I have no idea what's good. Plus tall so need long leg length. With all this skiing kit I'm buying then I really hope I like it and do it more than one trip.

Anything technical in Kendal. Cost me £80 but my son's goggles were £40.

I have no idea if that's a good price but wearing glasses means OTG needed which means more expensive. Online I've seen OTG goggles similar for £75 so ballpark price I reckon and these are spherical not cylindrical lenses like the £5 cheaper ones.

They had maier brand ski trousers in longer leg length for £140 that's tempting me. I'm tall but slim (well tall and not fat yet) so need the longer ones. So far that's the sort of price I've seen long ski trousers for so might get them.
