Hurraaah! The new T-Shirts are here!

So our latest batch of Team Karma T-Shirts has arrived!






These are really quite good! Why?


Well, they are made from 70% organic bamboo and 30% cotton, the cotton helps them to maintain their shape in the wash.  Bamboo is the most sustainable fabric at the moment and this is primarily due to its super quick growth rate, it requires far less water than cotton to grow  and it's natural anti-bacterial properties mean that the fabric doesn't hold bad odors like a normal cotton T - I should know, in Font last month I wore one for ten days straight! I smelt pretty bad but the shirt passed the nose test with flying colours!






The other big pull of Bamboo is the feel and quality of the fabric.  The fibers are so fine that they create a material with very silky qualities, you can have a light and airy garment which keeps you surprisingly warm!







The team have had the shirts for a while now and they are proving to be a really big hit!  The only criticism we've had is that there have been no lady shirts, so we got some printed.  They will be on sale in the shop for £20 as soon as we get the last bits in place, Karma pink for the mens and Karma blue for the ladies. If you would like one sooner get in touch and well take your details. 

Oh! Ps. These are also Fair trade and trucked rather than flown.

As many of you are aware our training room is now open at The Reach.  They have just put a new page on to their website so for more information about the room or for details of prices and directions have a look.  They also have some good photos of our handy work!

We're not web designers!

Well, we're not web designers we're climbers!  After hours of looking around for ways to make our site, blog and shopping cart all look the same I have decided not to. Having been pointed in some very useful directions by some helpful people we met recently we are going to use sites like blogger to remotely host all the bits we need to get up and running quickly.  So we are going to be getting all the blogs up and running along with the shopping cart in the next few weeks.  This also means that a slight overhaul of the main site will be happening ready for all the fancy other stuff we have planned.

Also arriving this month is our first batch of t-shirts and a new fingerboard.  As they arrive we will post updates about them.
