James Morris pictured, an Australian-based, Welsh-born sailing instructor more used to the sunnier climes of Brisbane, swapped his boat for a recent attempted ascent of 6,470 metre Mera Peak and a successful ascent of 6,200 metre Island Peak in its spectacular setting next to Everest itself. James commented that his hoodie, apart from being the cleanest item of clothing he had left after a month at altitude, was great for all kinds of uses in his very active lifestyle, trekking, climbing, sailing, working or just generally hanging about in – "just perfect for cooler days or evenings and so practical," he said. Just Hoods are available from PenCarrie, Prestige Leisure and Ralawise.
