No weather can keep us inside now, armored in Gore-Tex® and trimmed in reflective tape. Haydon, Kate and Sandy can play outside in Altona, Manitoba. Storm Mountain#15 & #208 are staple patterns in our house!

Mary used a combination of Storm Mountain patterns to make a one-of-a-kind jacket for travelling around Alberta from October to April. She used Pertex™ and Thinsulate™ Lite
Loft™ to give real multi-season versatility... and it packs down to nothing!

Be safe, Be seen, Stay alive!
“I was thrilled to make our son an anorak winter jacket, but I had no idea that putting Scotchlite™ Reflective Tape would save his life! One of our employees was asked to lock the door after my husband left the building. It was winter, about 6:30 PM. My husband was backing up in our cargo van when he saw the reflective tape in the side mirror right next to the van. It was our 18-month old son! The employee had neglected to lock the door and our son thankfully had put his coat on and pushed his way out two glass doors and was running to catch his daddy in the van. That little piece of Scotchlite™ Reflective Tape did what I hoped it would NEVER have to do – IT SAVED HIS LIFE!! I was grateful I had taken the time to sew that little 6” piece of reflective tape -- that cost less than a dollar -- onto his coat. I think all coats should have reflective tape on them!
