- Anonymous - Where do I start, I suppose at the beginning, I bought a special 6 shirt around 17 years ago and it’s still going strong and looks like new after years of hard wearing in all weathers! I totally love this piece of kit, I’d say without question it’s the best thing I've bought in all my walking years and probs the best value for money ever! Even in the driving rain and sleet on way up Nevis this shirt kept me warmer and more comfortable than any shell jacket ever could, it’s a bit warm for the summer months but come winter it’s the first thing I reach for when heading for the hills. I can’t recommend it highly enough!! 5 Stars.
- Anonymous - This is the single best bit of kit that I have ever worn.
It is so versatile and comfortable. From sitting around in the mountains of an evening to winter walking above and below the snowline. I use mine everywhere and for everything.
It really does work better when worn next to the skin. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
- Anonymous - The best of the best.
I bought mine about 20 years ago and it comes everywhere I go, summer, winter everywhere I've traveled It’s been to Australia and into the Himalayas it’s also used as my pillow when I’m camping. It’s like my comfort blanket. As long as I have it I know I’ll be okay. You really don’t need anything else. Now I've seen the red one I may get a new one but do I really need to when my one has never let me down and is still in perfect condition.
Best piece of kit I have and I’d be lost without it.
