This is a genuine item that I am selling that I have used by myself, there is a small red mark to the left sleeve where I brushed against a wall and even though it’s been washed has remained. This does not affect performance in any way. I can accept payment via various means so contact me a let me know how you wish to pay.
This is a bargain price of £55 which will include all packaging (second hand of course) and sending via Royal mail special delivery next day so fully insured up to £500 and tracked and requires a signature.

I have a photograph available if required.

If you need any more information then please contact me.

Thanks for looking.

Hey Simon,
Afraid I'm not interested in the Montane smock but I am interested to know how you lost 2.5 stones. That's impressive!

Hi Cameron.

To be honest there is no real rocket science to how I lost my weight. My wife was following a healthy eating plan, some may call it a diet but its not like slimming world etc where you drink lots of shakes to lose weight. This was Rosemary Conley plan which basically aims to change the way you look at normal food.

With this you have to consider the fat content of food and also the calories and keep within a range. You eat the normal food you like however you really end up changing the quantity that you eat and strangely enough you end up having a couple of snacks during the day which keeps you going.

With the new outlook on the items you eat, you generally cut down on things like crisps, biscuits, cakes but now I'm down in weight I'll have a little nibble now and then.

I was never greatly overweight coming in at 15.5 stone however I'm 185 metres tall and I had raised my waist size upto a 36 inch. Now I'm coming in at around 13 stone and I've dropped my waist size to a 32 inch. This has happened since July 2009.

I have to say that I feel a lot better for it, not being so tired but the wallet took a tumble because I needed new clothes, one of these being a new waterproof jacket where I went to Furtech for a winter jacket this time and bought the Claw and cannot fault it one bit.

Hopefully this explains how I did it.

Regards

Simon

Well done Simon. That's brilliant.

Jacket still available if anyone wants it.
If interested let me know and maybe I can barter on the price.

Hi, would you take £40 ?

I'm almost exactly your original posted size and I'm sure the "lose weight " magic is imprinted in the fabric somewhere...

Hi Rod
Thanks for your offer, bearing in mind that some of the cost covered my postage costs how about £45?
Let me know.
Simon
