- I believe North Face has something like that also and the fabric is Gore-Tex.
- I think I have seen it in a local store here in Austin, TX (Whole Earth). I
- saw someone use that Berghaus gaiter. It's very nice. I'd love to have a
- pair! It won't be difficult to get that North Face one in the States. It's
- probably impossible to get Berghaus stuff in the States; but, very likely in
- Europe, and definitely in England.
-
- BTW, is there any mail order companies in England or Europe that accept
- overseas orders? I'm looking for one that stocks Berghaus/Karrimor rucsacs
- and accessories. Climb High here in the States carries only a few models of
- Karrimor rucsacs and very limited accessories.
