We will be holding a sale at our shop in Aboyne starting Friday 23rd and continuing through to Saturday 29th.

 The sale will offer great discounts on our retail stock including down jackets, ski clothing, waterproof jackets, fleeces, base layers etc etc. Brands include Rab, Helly Hansen, Patagonia, Páramo and Hilltrek.

We want to clear our stock of Hilltrek one-off Lomond Jackets, one-off Ventile jackets, trousers and smocks, fleeces etc. So there will be some great buys to be had.

 I’m afraid that it is a retail sale only and not offered over our website -you have to visit us in beautiful Aboyne!

I was reading this Patagonia blog post on their review of the Outdoor Retailer trade show.  The no.1 one theme being picked up upon was ‘sustainability’.  As their brand ambassador put it

“sustainable business practices, like manufacturing with recycled materials, making products more durable, and trying to lessen their impact”

This is encouraging to read.  A lot of those guiding words are included in the values behind the Ventile fabrics.  A natural use of the properties of cotton used to protect us against the elements.

We will be holding a sale at our shop in Aboyne this weekend when we will be offering great discounts on some of our end of season winter retail stock including Rab Down Jackets, Helly Hansen, Patagonia, Páramo, Craghoppers, Cross Ski Wear etc. Included will be gloves, socks, jackets, ski salopettes, winter trousers, childrens ski clothing etc etc

We will have  deals on Helly Hansen baselayers, Paramo Torres Insulators etc

We are basking in early Spring sunshine but…….who knows what is round the corner? This offer is naturally open until the end of May.

There is a saying that goes along the lines that a girl can never have too many hats, bags and shoes… I work on the principal that you can never have too much outdoor gear!
