Hi all
I know that there was amusement a few years back when this was last suggested (‘Soargate’), but I’m proposing to get a batch of lightweight running vests made in the deckchair colours to try – ideal for those warm summer jaunts on the road and track. A number of people I’ve spoken to have been positive about the idea so hopefully we can translate this into an order.
Soar vests remain £80 a piece with a minimum order of 20, so I’m proposing to use Scimitar Sports. Their vests are £60 each with a minimum order of 10, which can be mixed sizes and mixed men’s/women’s. More details here.
Some of you have seen or tried the sample I have. This is a men’s large and measures (flat) 53cm wide and 70cm long. It’s slightly wider than the equivalent Ronhill vest. There is a detailed size guide with the product information.
Let me know off-group if you’re interested and what size you’d want. If you pay in advance, you’ll be guaranteed a vest. (For example, if 20 people are interested we can order 10, but if 20 people pay we can order 20.)
The process is to send Scimitar one of our vests so that they can match the design and colours, and we’ll have a design proof to clear before ordering.
Cheers
Colin
