Hi there,
I may have one for you and can bring it to Victoria for pick up in the next few weeks.
I'll let you know mid-week about the size supply and figure out pick up arrangements.
Thanks for supporting BWD.ca, the best local website for all of our island weather/wind conditions.
Cheers

Thanks Sandy B.. I might be heading up to nitinat this weekend.. Maybe catch you there?

Speaking of fundraising....

I'm getting some pricing on Zip-up Hoodies.

We can go with standard Hanes or something a little nicer and pricier like Roots or...

Any suggestions on brand and colours? Keep in mind the logo works best on dark colours.

The more we order the better the price = more $ for BWD.

put me down for a zip up.. but I'd prefer a pull over! prob XL

black and roots !

cheers

BA: I'm not sure on pricing but I have an Econscious hoodie from the subaru victoria triathlon and they're really nice (held up better than any of the other name brand hoodies I've had).
They gave them to every participant so I imagine their wholesale pricing must be OK (retail is ~44 & 49 for pullover and zip up respectively). And they're a triple bottom line company for people who are into that.
I'd be interested in a blue, brown or earthy green, I have too many black hoodies!

Being a sucker for swag, I'd probably buy one. Would pay extra for better quality.

And put the "Wind is Good" catchphrase back on. That's a nice thumb-the-nose at surfers, for whom wind is very much not good. ;-)

Put me down for two zip hoodies. Something eco-conscious is good!

For something different than black, I like the idea of natural cotton colour, and secondly washed out dark blue, brown, or grey.

Hey, how about a stylish toque (is that an oxymoron?) or ball cap with the logo embroidered instead of screened? Personally, I would like a tight-fitting black or grey toque with a smallish logo.

I'm in for a zippered hoodie BA and I like 4J's colour suggestions except for brown, but would go with black if that's the consensus.
XL for me.

I would love a zippered hoodie...seem to remember people making fun of me last year when I suggested the zipper option. Nice to see you pull over types maybe coming around to the zipper-side!

I'm in for whatever, the zipper style is fine. I have no hair left so pull over is good too, Mr. lots of hair follicle Lawnboy

As for preferences, I do like heavy stonewash cotton, in green and greys the more expensive where you actually GET COTTON quality, thickness and not a shredded plastic bag, the better. I don't like paying for name brands like Roots, most of their china crap sucks now where it never used to Disappointing everyone having to jump quality ship to stay in biz.

I'm with 4J on the eco friendly side too, bamboo or hemp??

1XL, one L for Ruskie, one L, two M for family types please

Hemp is the way to go! very breathable and great for warm or cold days!

Fully support a touque option for those cold SE / NW winter days!
