We recently received a letter from a Gentleman who had been given one of our Glencoe jackets as a gift from his daughter. His use of Ventile has exceeded 50 years, as you can see from his photographs.

The black & white image was taken in 1957 “on the hills above Cannich”, and shows the wearer in a Blacks of Greenock Ventile anorack.

The second image shows the Hilltrek Glencoe being put to use on a “day of driving rain in the hills North of Keswick”. The wearer also reported “not a drop of rain inside”.

Here’s to the continued use of Ventile in the hills.
