Gift Idea: Thursday Trio of Marmot Fleeces

Fleece has become so ubiquitous that sometimes it's easy to forget that a good technical fleece can offer levels of performance that are way above the norm. So it is with the Marmot Alpinist Tech Jacket £80:

Alpinist Tech Jacket

The warmth to weight ratio of this grid-polyester fleece is outstanding – it offers solid midweight insulation and incredible compactibility. Softshell-bonded zippered chest pocket and handwarmer pockets provide additional protection; interior zippered pocket with headphone port keeps you groovin’.

If you aren't after the technicalities of an Alpine midlayer, then maybe the warmth and style of the Norheim Hoody £100 will suit you better. Substantially crafted from cosy sweater knit fleece, with a subtle and flattering profile, this jacket is guaranteed to deliver warmth, comfort, and complements. A wind flap tucked behind the front zipper knocks down chilly drafts

Mad March excavations outside the Peebles shop

It's March and the road's department have some money to spend before the end of the financial year. The Old Town in Peebles is benefitting from this with major pavement re-alignment works going ahead at the junction of Old Town, Elcho Street Brae, Biggiesknowe and Greenside. Of course we are right in the middle of all this and currently the shop is surrounded by an attractive stockade of red and white crash barriers and cones. We expect this to go on for some time (nobody seems to be able to tell us exactly how long) but would like to re-assure customers that we will be open throughout and will be doing everything we can to ensure that the contractors maintain safe and adequate access to our premises. When it's finished, it will be a major improvement, with wider pavements and safer road-crossings for pedestrians to look forward to.
