That's a wrap on another great year at ! Thanks to everyone who came by to say hi. Our team loved meeting new faces and talking with the people who wear the gear and do the work.
One thing that came through loud and clear was the frustration with current gear, especially women's fits, arc rainwear, harnesses, and pole straps.
No surprise then that our new Hydro Arc 28 cal rainwear got plenty of attention. Arc rainwear is always a trade-off... waterproof but heavy, or light and soaked through by smoko. Inspired by ski sports, Hydro Arc is completely waterproof and designed for superior mobility. Stretch fabric, segmented reflective tape, a lighter shell construction and reduced bulk help crews move naturally through long wet shifts, without the drag of traditional heavy rainwear.

There was also plenty of interest in the new harnesses Jonny is developing behind the scenes with some of our manufacturers. More on those soon, so watch this space.
Finally, a huge congratulations to our mini-putt champions, Jamie from Connetics and Laura from PowerNet, who each took home a Steel Blue 70L Icey Tek chilly bin. Thanks to Steel Blue Boots NZ for supplying the prizes!
