Rab Baltoro Lite softshell jacket

We have just taken delivery of new stocks of Rab Baltoro Lite jackets (£110), one of our most popular Soft Shell garments that offers an excellent balance between warmth, lightweight, wind resistance and breathability.

Billed by Rab as a summer Alpine piece the Baltoro Lite has excellent year-round capablities in the UK climate. It is made from Polartec® Power Shield® Lite fabric that combines a tightly woven nylon outer face with a warm polyester fleece inner face. The outer surface is durable and wind resistant and has an excellent water repellent finish that allows rain to really bead on the surface while the soft fleece inner face provides an appropriate level of insulation for active use in colder weather. These properties combine to effectively combat drizzle and wind and when the weather closes in and you have to reach for your waterproof shell, the breathability of the Baltoro Lite will ensure that the performance of your outer layer is not compromised.

It seemed unlikely but yes, Chris Bonington was coming to Carrington. It proved to be a memorable evening that people still occasionally mention to us today. Standing room only with an eclectic audience of school children, Women's Institute stalwarts, elders of the kirk and a smattering of outdoor enthusiasts. It probably wasn't the kind of gathering Bonington was used to speaking to but his professionalism and communication skills ensured that his stories came alive for everyone in the room. At the end of the presentation we joined the scrum of autograph hunters and got his signature on a poster which we hung in our new shop on the day it opened. It stayed on the wall for quite a few...
