New technical waterproof shells from Haglofs

The new Glade jacket from Haglofs is a highly technical and full- featured waterproof shell that also happens to be manufactured using a durable recycled fabric.

Full front zipper with dual storm flaps
Two large torso pockets with watertight zippers
One laminated chest pocket
Watertight pit-zips for increased ventilation
3-way adjustable hood with a foam and wire supported peak
Three inner mesh pockets (one zipped)
Articulated sleeves
Velcro adjustable cufs
Single-hand adjustable hem
Rear hang loop
A DWR treatment that's free of harmful chemicals.

The attention to detail that's shown in the design of this jacket is also evident in the consideration Haglofs have given to its environmental impact. Notably, this jacket is made from recycled fabric, one of the first performance waterproof shells we've come across to successfully employ this technology. But Haglofs have, with typical thoroughness, addressed environmental issues right across their supply chain, from design to far east manufacture, to delivery to our store.

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...
