Today I saw someone wearing army combat trousers (DPM) and a hi-viz yellow coat. What's the message?

    A friend of mine has a Gore jacket in camo with reflective panels. Like this one:

    Does seem somewhat contradictory.

    I quite like the jacket, but I don't think that it will go with my DPM messenger bag or shorts!

    Define DPM. Being pedantic back at you, I wasn't incorrect, just not specific. :P :lol::wink:

    Saw the bloke in camberwell last night who had a full face helmet completely covered in flashing red lights last night.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Are you sure it wasn't bursting acne?

    That you can get brand new full Goretex trousers for £15?

    I wouldn't go camo though - I got some brand new dark blue RAF surplus Goretex trousers with boot zips and elasticated waist that I use for cycling - £15 off the 'bay.

    Saw a bloke in a bananaman outfit today (as in yes, the full costume). Seen him before on stupidly cold days, perhaps he just doesn't own any other warm kit.
