We havn't done this on purpose, but after going through a few of our new North Face products it seems as though we're putting together some sort of Outdoorkit costume. Both the Men's Resolve Insulated Jacket and Rocket Beanie come in very 'Outdoorkity' colours. All we need now is some blue and orange trousers and a cape and we've got our very own Outdoorkit superhero outfit!
Not entirely sure what kind of super powers Outdoorkitman would posses, waterproofness seems thoroughly underwhelming when anyone can go out and buy their own jacket that can repel the rain. Maybe being able to predict the weather to save campers from a soggy getaway would be useful? But I guess that's what the Met Office is for, depending on how much you trust their forecast's that is.
We've had a few suggestions from the guys in the office. Craig's suggests the power of endurance, so no matter how long the hike, how high the mountain or how tough the climb, Outdoorkitman would just keep on going, just like the adverts for a very well known battery. Katie suggested Inspector Gadget like powers. "Go, go walking poles!" and low and behold out shoots two nordic walking poles from his arms. Or maybe internal navigation as suggested by John, the ability to always know exactly where you are and where your headed without needing a compass.
The idea of being constantly insulated would go down a treat in the Winter as well, but by the time Summer comes along you might end up being a liiittle bit sticky. Perhaps we've over thought this a tad, but when Mr Spielberg or Bruckheimer come calling for their next big flick, Outdoorkitman will be ready and waiting!
