Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Lowe Alpine Jackets

Poster: A snowHead

Eh up!

Im looking for a light waterproof jacket to stuff in my bag when i go MTBing and i noticed EB, Snow and Rock etc... dont stock LA jackets. I had one and it was awesome, everyone used to sell them and they were top quality at good prices...so whats happened? Why arent the big stores stocking them? Have they done a Karrimor and turned into absolute garbage?

Thanks!

galpinos, from their website this seems to be true. Shame as I have an old hardshell from them that's getting a bit battered and it's been great.

Thanks guys...yup what a shame, their Triple Pont ceramic shells were great and not at the "jaw-hit-the-floor" prices you see from other companies...looked in a MTB store here in Austria last week, they stock Haglöfs, Peak Performance etc...they didnt sell one jacket less than 400e!! Oh well, nice if youve got the cash i guess...

shiva_71,

Yes €400 for a jacket from IntersportEybl and it could be ruined after one fall.

I have an Altura jacket which works well (breathable and waterproof) but didn't cost the earth. Tend to wear a gillet most of the time though and only get the jacket out when it rains (which thankfullly is much less in Austria than back in old blightly)

I think this is the jacket I have .....

If anyone is after Lowe Alpine gear they have a large concessionary outlet at Boundary Mill at the end of the M65, I was there only last night and bought a few end of season thermals and some gloves at silly money. All good gear, Goretex XCR etc, I also have a couple of the softshell jackets, had them a few years and they still look like new.

Worth a look if you are in the area, but it is seasonal, i.e. walking stuff now, skiing gear usually on the racks by sep/oct.
