Look how famous we are!

The Outdoors show was on in January 2012, and a bunch of us from the club happened to be going. UKC naturally wrote an article about it and one of us (me!) appeared in a photo, with Lucy Creamer at a Masterclass, set-up by DMM to help teach you some climbing techniques. Here is the original article from UKC, and below is the photo.

Matt's experience:

As a bit of personal experience, I bought the mens soft shell a size too big thinking I would wear the hoodie underneath. It works but the arms I have found are a little tight fitting. I also found that the arms are slightly not long enough for someone as tall as I am so my thumbs do not fit in the thumb loops comfortably, so I just dont use them.

On the plus note, the jacket is a very good soft shell, wind proof and breathable. you will see many of the old members wearing them around the town and out climbing. They can also be waterproofed to an extent using Nikwax products which others have commented is worthwhile.
