<p> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> I&#8217;m afraid that it is a retail sale only and not offered over our website -you have to visit us in beautiful Aboyne!</p>

<p>&#8220;<em>sustainable business practices, like manufacturing with recycled  materials, making products more durable, and trying to lessen their  impact</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>This is encouraging to read.  A lot of those guiding words are included in the values behind the <a href="http://www.ventile.co.uk/">Ventile</a> fabrics.  A natural use of the properties of cotton used to protect us against the elements.</p>
