I visited my gun shop mate yesterday (we are business associates). I grabbed a full set of Ridgeline gear - beenie, jacket, shirt, pants, socks. WELL worth it, exceptionally warm,and cost is $90 for the complete set.

Drove past the Duckadang turnoff on the way up which reminded me to get them

Trevor I received the catalogue in the mailbox yesterday. I was actually looking at the INOC range (pants and top). I wonder how they compare to other brands? Certainly cheaper than Kathmandu!

Can I get one in white and pink for my wife?

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

Sorry Trev

the only designer feature in freezer suits is "INDUSTRIAL"

(Navy Blue and Hi-vis Yellow is what i normally order)

You did well,did not notice that much of that line in Allen's shop,when I picked up my new .270 the other day.I did not think Allen had a '
business associate' after the last episode he had.

The Aldi gear looks great,and good prices too,Aldi gear is generally very good,I sure hope we get some in the Kingaroy store-those thermal underwear for $30 will be a great help at astrofest

+1 For Geoff and his freezer suits - thoroughly enjoyed using mine last winter.

Highly recommend the Freezer Suit! Had mine on at Leyburn last weekend. Fabulous service from Geoff too!

I recommend a freezer suit from Geoff. I have used mine for around 5 years and it still looks like it did when I bought it. Warm as toast inside too....

Good value I say....

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

does this mean i need another "expression of interest thread"?

I'd like one of those crow outifts. Winter is coming.

Ah, the Barefoot Bandit... Brian is a LONG, tiresome story. I had known Allan about 2 years before the "Incident" that started that cascade of poop.

Allan and I work together - we are nearly always together at shows, I see him every second Sunday on average. I do most of his international ordering ,sourcing and importation of extraneous, non-dealer items.

The Ridgeline stuff is REALLY good. Not ski gear, but not as bulky either.

Gawd, me in a freezer suit.... I'd look like the Michelin Man after an all you can eat smorgasbord...

I likely see Allen again soon,to do some transfer details-I've just won first prize in a photo comp-a Savage .223 with scope. (sorry Lewis cannot post image here-you will have to buy July issue 'Sporting Shooter' to see)

I am very keen to buy a pair of those mens thermo boots from Aldi,at thatr price they are well worth it,nothing worse than the cold coming up through your feet at night,might have to travel to find an Aldi that has them-but be worth it.

Speaking as an ex UK observer, layer, layer and layer again. Thermals, trousers and something windproof over the top works. Beanie or something else over the ears will be invaluable.

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

or then again - undies, singlet/tshirt and freezer suit

that simple

Another +1 on the freezer suit. Mine stays in my car all the time now, even if you dont use it it's really good for wrapping delicate gear and as a pillow.

Re the Aldi boots Chris,let me know your size and I can look down here,and maybe meet you at Moore or somewhere on my next sojourn out to Johville (which MAY be tomorrow or Thursday)

Yeah, but that has it limitations of social acceptability when you go inside to a 25deg house to have a cup of tea, some food and a chat.
