I wish they still matched but unfortunately the bags have been washed many more times than the vest and are now several shades lighter. At least they're both still wearable! 'Moving On' was the name of the magazine - I still have issues 1, 2 & 4 (1994/95). Among my many items of Rohan gear, I, too, have a pair of light grey bags and a grey Wild Vest with gold lining.

My comment on kit should have read "You never know how good your kit need be until you need to know!" Mea culpa.

Pity as they are still wearing well and looking smart. Ben spotted them as soon as I walked in the door at Keswick and we had a good chat about his collection. The old kit prompted many memories!! An old Army PTI used to say "You never know how fit you need to be until you need to know!" I wish I knew how I could summarise this for a forum strapline as it is the same in the mountains. "You never how good your kit need be until you need to know!" For the Forum strap it could be something like "Rohantime - when you really need to know!" Anyway best wishes from Aberdeenshire.

Unfortunately I do not have your MK 1 Pampas you traded at Manchester. I assume you did this 4 years ago when Rohan produced a range of 'Blue Label' garments to celebrate their 30th anniversary? I can only assume your Pampas was sent back to Head Office where Tim Jasper will be safekeeping it. As far as the Dunova Scarf goes, i have not got one of these and would love to have one- if you want to give it a good home! All the best Ben Evans Hi Peter

I've got a Rohan short scarf made of Dunova in a rust colour. Have you got one of those in your collection?

They were /are my favourite colour, not that they have been done again the Morrocan red is the only thing since that is close. Now they are so worn that my wife refuses to let me wear them - they have no holes just gone thin, like me, with old age. I wish they did this colour again then I'd buy enough to wear til i die!!!! But sorry not parting with them for the wall! I have a pair of Bags in a sort of terracotta red, I have a pair of shorts as well.

The strange pale green Bags sound like a colour called 'Lovat' which is one of the colours needed to add to the collection. Many thanks, Ben Hi Lilian

Most of the Bags have been kindly donated by people who have outgrown them and therefore no longer used. Rest assured they will all be donated to charity in due course. Ben Hi Paul
