The
Spitfire
From the exposed NE ridge of Everest to the tempestuous,
windy heights of Patagonia's highest rock walls, the SPITFIRE
has already proved itself to be a Soft Shell with a really
tough attitude. Radically sculptured from a combination
of ENTROPY 3-ply NAIL FACE and 3-ply BI STRETCH fabric,
this jacket offers exceptional performance both in fit and
function
...what
we think: The
wind-stopper material works well and stops the chill getting
through and we've been impressed by how sturdy these jackets
have been, no tears or damage so far and we're not kind
to them. Big plus is they look really smart if you get the
chance to get off the bike

we think: There's
no pretty way to say this so here goes...we use these to
ride in under our bike kit, they're great. They don't look
dirty, when in fact they're filthy and the 'wicking' factor
works brilliantly, drawing moister away from the skin..and,
Umm,... they don't smell when you've used them a little
to often? We've been suprised that although they're snug
fitting they don't rub..easily recommended.

Hammocks
We
were given these great hammocks only days before we left
Africa for South America and we are so glad we had them.
The
hammocks were heavily used during our Amazonian leg providing
a more comfortable night sleep the floor and keeping us
high off the ground away from the creepy-crawleys'
The
hammocks are multi-functional and can also be used open
(the hammocks are cut square) as a fly sheet or rain cover.
DOn't forget if your vehicle breaks down you do repairs
on top of the blue hammock ensuring you don't loose crucial
parts in the sand or dirt.

& I owe a massive thank you for the support, belief and
trust given to us by all the guys at Capestorm.
