Re: Waterproof shell

I've had a Minimus jacket for about 5 years now, and to be honest, I wouldn't buy another. It did me really well for a couple of years, was my main jacket for a ultramarathons, long bike days and nights, bits of fell running and a lot of riding, but it's delaminated very very badly and while I still...

Artie - A-C is 470mm, yup, I'm in Leeds. Waiting on a response from the 'first dibs' but if he's a no I'll give you a shout.
Ray - Do you mean the hose lengths? I'll measure up, but you'll be 3rd in the queue if you're interested.

Yeah, and he's not too far from me, good thinking. He stopped advertising it 6 months ago judging by his history, so not sure whether he shifted it or not, but I've dropped him a message.
