It might have been me Paul. Great bit of kit that punch’s above it’s weight in terms of warmth and with a good hood too

Nailed a lovely description there. Though my girlfriend only remarked last week that the hood looks terrible!! |

montane.com I’ve got one of these in a kind of paprika / dried blood colour. No hood though. It’s warm but half a size too small or I’ve got half a size too big |

I've got two of them @paulcook - might have been me that suggested it. But strangely don't tent to run in them anymore - maybe I should start again. However was looking for something a bit warmer, which is why I've been looking at the OMM Core. I had to argue it was a micro fleece at Fellsman - they weren't happy, saying it was too micro! I think Alpkit borrowed the hood design from a gimp suit though. |

I think Fellsman kit check scared me more than the race. Well no, but ... Have to say the fella who checked mine seemed so laid back so I had zero problems or questions about any of the kit. He nearly passed my tiny windshell as a fully taped waterproof. I don't run in it that much but it's so handy to have in the bag just in case and, therefore right now, it also doubles up as something very warm when I get the train back home after training in the hills. |
