Can I ask how long the offers are on for? and do they apply to web orders or just on the day stall sales? I would love to pick up some gear but have developed an allergy to all things national trust in the past year or so.

What has me most interested is the Zephyr jacket, does it also have the same aluminum weave as the Osprey? and could you provide some pictures of the jacket when stored to get an idea of pack size and how it packs away? Cheers in advance and hope to throw an order in soon.

The offers are available online for the month of may: The zephyr jacket is just a lightweight 105g windproof shower repellant jacket i developed fro promotions : Currently looking to change the design hence promotion. The jacket when folded into the back pocket will fit inside a mug : i have attached one of the early videos ( not professional in any way) ..

Now that is what I call an advert, if only some of the bigger name brands did that instead of stupid hollywoodesque epics then we may end up with products that were better value for money.

On a side not what is the status of the water resistance? Your video has you clearly saying "waterproof and running the jacket under a tap." However the website states "water resistant," would this jacket qualify as waterproof for outdoor adventure race type events for example? Many of them do state a jacket must be fully waterproof and not a pertex type material.

OOPs i shouldn't have said waterproof in the video : The Zephyr jacket would be of the pertex mould and i should have said water resistant : Think lightweight tent fabric . If you are looking for a lightweight waterproof garment we have the Merlin smock being launched later this month with one front pocket ( Riri Zips) and weighing in under 400g ..its fully waterproof and breathable with high moisture wicking capabilities and i think that would be closer to your requirements . RRP £150 launch price £120. Although i will probably put up a special link for NIWild with a voucher code to offer a further £10 off . Original year old prototype being used in this years TGO challenge ( look at aran smock in this original review pro type made by Brenig and utilising the fabric in our Merlin jacket equivalent :http://www.alanrayneroutdoors.blogspot.co.uk/2013_07_01_archive.html

Just checked Alan Rayner is using the Aclimatise version in the TGO challenge

I purchased the Zephyr jacket this week, wow

its soooo light and small it arrived in an envelope! I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it and there was a jacket inside. I'm normally a large but I got the medium and it fits well, slightly longer arms would have been handy for covering the hands too. The zips goes quite high so the neck is well protected. Zip up pockets are very handy as also are the internal pockets (which aren't mentioned on the website

) these are very handy for a map & compass. The hood is a good fit and easily adjustable which is important for running. Hopefully I'll get to test it out in anger on the next Hill & Dale run. Of course with the extra space in my running bum bag now I'll be able to carry more pruck
