Introducing our New Lookbook Feature

This week we are bringing you the very exciting news that our new Lookbook is now live on our website! We wanted to let you browse our new Spring/Summer Collections in a more visual way so we got to work on a new feature that will allow you to do just that...

The Lookbooks will allow you to view all of our latest photography and then click through to view more information on any products you might like.

We will have three Lookbooks in total; one for our Target Dry collection, one for our Xtreme Series collection and one for our Mac in a Sac collection. The Mac in a Sac Lookbook is still a work in progress at the moment so we will be launching it at a later date (stay tuned!).

You can find both the Target Dry and Xtreme Series Lookbooks under the 'LOOKBOOK' tab on the menu on our homepage or by clicking here.

We hope you enjoy using our new Lookbooks, be sure to let us know what you think! :)

The Element Jacket- Trail Magazine's Best In Test

In this week’s Product Spotlight, we’ve got a special treat for all of the mountaineering enthusiasts out there. We will be discussing our brand new for Spring/Summer 2014 Element Jacket- the newest high performance technical jacket in our range. With a massive 8000mm waterproofing, a storm peak and ventilating pit zips; we think it’s pretty awesome, and we’re not the only ones...

After beating off stiff competition from some of the biggest names in the business, we are very proud to announce that our Element Jacket has been named Best in Test in this month’s edition of Trail Magazine. Wearing our “outstanding” and “well-designed” jacket has been described as “an uplifting experience” by the reviewer and we’re here to tell you why.

Target Dry Xtreme Series Element Jacket

Waterproof & Breathable

As previously mentioned, the Element features an extremely high 8000mm waterproof resistance so you are guaranteed to be kept “perfectly dry in heavy rain”. It also offers a breathability of 4000gsm which means you will be kept comfortable with any excess condensation being well managed by the mesh lining. This jacket also has fully taped seams which promise to keep you free from any nasty leaks.

Target Dry Xtreme Series Element Jacket

Features

Adding to the 8000mm waterproofing, the Element incorporates YKK AquaGuard Zips to ensure anything you are storing in your pockets stays bone dry through the rain. There are five pockets in this jacket; 2 hip pockets, 2 chest pockets and an internal pocket for the really important stuff. The reviewer in Trail Magazine said “the two Napoleon chest pockets swallow OS maps with space to spare too”, so you won’t be short of room to store everything you need.  

We have included a volume adjustable hood with a wired storm peak, so even if it gets squashed in your rucksack, reshaping the hood to the perfect fit is quick and easy when the rain comes on. You can also adjust the hem of the jacket and use the Velcro adjustable cuff tabs to improve the windproof aspect of the jacket even further. The Element Jacket has also been designed with a slightly longer body to provide you with improved protection when you are not wearing overtrousers. Result.

Kilimanjaro Project- A Q&A with Michael Warke

 

Michael Warke is travelling to Tanzania with Action Challenge to climb Mt Kilimanjaro to raise money and awareness for The Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children 

 

We recently interviewed Michael Warke to find out more about his upcoming trip to Tanzania, what kit he needed and find out how to raise awareness for The Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children.

Target Dry: Could you tell us a bit about why you chose to support NI Children’s Cancer Unit Fund? 

Michael Warke: I have chosen this charity because I know of the work they are doing within Northern Ireland to help children with cancer. It is also a charity that my family has seen first hand experience of how they work and are very grateful for the charity.

TD: Why did you choose to climb Kilimanjaro? (as opposed to a charity walk or swim)

MW: We chose to climb Kilimanjaro because it really is a once in a life time experience. There are also many other factors which affect the walk as you are exposed to temperature changes, freezing wind and of course the altitude.

TD: Who's idea was it?

MW: Originally it was Sarah’s idea, although once she suggested it I was very keen to do it as well.

TD: What are you doing in preparation for the big climb?

MW: We have been doing quite a few walks in the Mournes, there is nothing which can really prepare you for the altitude but we have been doing a lot of walking and trying to get our bodies ready for that.

TD: What are you looking forward to?

MW: Personally I am looking forward to all of it, I have never been to Africa and never attempted to climb anything of that height so it will be an awesome experience.

TD: What are you nervous about?

MW: I don’t think I am too nervous, at the minute excitement is taking over any nerves which I have. This may all change in the next few days though.

TD: How can people get in touch with you to support your cause?

MW: People can get in touch through my twitter page which I will try and give updates through, signal permitting.

Michael departs for Tanzania on 17 October 2013 for his 12 Day East African Trip to tackle the worlds largest free standing mountain. You can get in touch with Michael through the Twitter account made especially for the trip: @KilimanjaroProj
