They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

A Word From Brian

Ever break an arm?? Well, I did and realized how important it is to be able. Just a small break can wreck your whole day and the next 8 weeks too. A slip off the roof can make the most simple things difficult or impossible. I always took paddling for granted - I just hopped in a boat and went. It felt so natural until I was unable. It has now been 8 weeks since the break and I'm so pleased to announce, " I think I'm okay". I got out kayaking yesterday and had such a great time. The joy of gliding along effortlessly on such an amazing beautiful day, even though I was actually working hard, made me feel fortunate to be back and able to get out there again.

About the Phase AR Zip Neck
This lightly insulated zip neck base layer is engineered for optimal moisture management during stop-and-go activities. During active phases moisture is wicked across the entire garment, aiding temperature regulation. Entering a rest phase the broadly dispersed moisture evaporates quickly, speeding dry-time to keep the user warmer and more comfortable. Encapsulated silver-ions provide durable and long-lasting odour control.
