Why is it that most hiking or mountaineering gear for men is black, grey, dark blue. Why not red or orange, even fluorescent apart from anything else it's safer to be seen.
Are most men afraid of standing out in a crowd, weak minded introverts. I don't think so.
So Blacks, mountain warehouse, go outdoors etc get the manufacturers to get a grip. And while they are at it most don't produce ###L , so guys over 110kg can't get duvets or jackets big enough to wear a fleece under it.
An exception is Baerskin, they do big ###L's and some bright colours, funny enough, it is the bright colours that sell out fast.
I'd love a reasonably priced, to -15C or more jacket in scarlet with fluorescent trim or banding rain wind resistant and breathable.
