The big European Outdoor Show took place in July 2014 at Friedrichshafen in Germany and we visited to take a good look around the vast selection of gear on show. Keen to find any new manufacturers, interesting items or fresh developments in the outdoors world, we interviewed a whole series of brands and bring you this 3 part podcast series as a result. In this release, we speak with Tim Butcher from a new British company true-mountain.com. True Mountain has only been in operation for a few months and already the clothing and designs are catching the attention of many. Not only are the products designed in the UK, Tim is keen to manufacture in their own factory which allows flexible timescales, quicker turn around of products and swifter reaction to market demands. Fly the flag with True Mountain! McNet Europe, is a well known name for the variety or repair and protective adhesives and patches they provide for all types of outdoor technical fabrics. At the show they were launching a new mozzie net repair patch, which will be a blessing for anyone who attracts these little critters through tears in the bug netting. Aarn packs have been available on and off in the UK over recent years. The split pack design (some on the back and someone the front) offers a good centre of balance when carrying heavy loads. However they are bit of a marmite product, so we chat to Tim Cambell about the features which he feels make them a good contender for the European market. Don't forget all these items can be seen in more detail on the The Outdoors Station website or on our YouTube Channel. http://youtu.be/t-jY6xedoFk
