Word anyone got a spare hood for my down jacket knocking about? Been meaning to get hold of one for years but never remembered to do anything about it. Preferably that lurid orange colour to match my jacket.

Cheers ears.

No, but I was querying with Rab the other day about repairing a zip on my jacket and was told to contact Equip Outdoor Technologies Ltd at Somercotes so if no one has a spare you might want to try there.

Already tried Ran/Equip, no dice.

If all else fails I could always try and nick the hood off FD's jacket when his guard is down, but that really would be a last resort.

I've got a hood off my old Rab jacket (wasn't a smock though) that I've never used if you're interested?

Attaches with those metal popper things - black not orange I'm afraid.

Woodseats / Heeley area if you wanted to check it out? Or if you're going to the Peak area meet next week I could bring it to that?

Negative on that front I'm afraid. I'll bring it along next Wednesday.

I don't know how I'd give the odds on that one! 100-1 on getting FD to bite and 5-5000 on dave getting more than he bargained for when the elastic band snapped. Wearing a Danzig vest.

We could share the hood word. Sloper was also rocking the vintage orange Rab look with hood last time I saw him. Now he's fucked off he might not need it full time.

I know that Stalker Ruth, The Heeley Man-Hungry Moaner, has an orange Rab with hood, but the risks involved in a 007 style raid to liberate it just aren't worth taking.

That Rab of Slopers is as close to sentient as a coat is ever going to get - to be honest it is almost as feral as its owner.  ;)
