I can see the packs being of interest to a bike company, but not sure what they will do with bouldering mats?
Wait just one goddamn minute...for your multi-sport hols...A foam bike bag that doubles up as bouldering mat. Inflatable middle like those pricey Ronin ones...
They can send me my royalties to the usual address...
But don't quote me on that
My sister in law is a buyer for Planet X and helped negotiate the deal. She say they won't be selling climbing gear apparently.....
Having said that, they have the best customer service by miles. Mended my 20+ year old Cragsac FOC as well as replacing a Rab shell that was leaking, also FOC. For that reason alone, I'll buy their kit whenever I need kit. Thanks Equipe
CEO David Hanney said “It’s fantastic to be in a position to take a classic brand like Podsacs on to the next level, and the systems we have developed at Planet X will allow us to make those differences.”
Just to unearth this one again.....Anyone know whats happening with the "Podsacs" brand these days? Since Planet X bought it we've seen most of the existing stock sold off at knockdown prices, they still have the website with remaining dregs on there (mostly stuffsacs and short back length rucksacs). No more bouldering mats, no stock in shops etc.Quote from: shark on October 25, 2013, 02:06:57 pmCEO David Hanney said “It’s fantastic to be in a position to take a classic brand like Podsacs on to the next level, and the systems we have developed at Planet X will allow us to make those differences.”Maybe "the next level" was a euphemism for death. Was it just an asset stripping exercise? Big shame to see such an iconic Sheffield/climbing brand evaporate.
