The Fjällräven Waxing Tour 2019 is coming to the Palace!

 

Bring your G-1000 gear to be waxed while-you-wait by Fjällräven’s resident expert, Don. Watch waxing demos live, and most importantly, learn how to look after your beloved jacket, trousers or backpack so they’re ready for a lifetime of adventures.

Legendary mountaineer and Fjällräven ambassador, Alan Hinkes, will be joining Don in-store to chat to you while your gear is being waxed, and regale you with stories. Alan is the only British person to have climbed all 14 Himalayan mountains above 8,000m, so he has some tales to tell!

We will also have some copies of Alan’s beautiful coffee table book ‘8000m: Climbing the World’s Highest Mountains’ which he will be happy to sign for you.

This Thursday, 27th June 11:3-5:30

Find more info and RSVP on the Facebook event page.

Please note waxing at the event will be free of charge for all items, and done on a first come, first served basis. If it gets busy we’ll have to restrict it to one item per person, but don’t worry – Don will be able to show you how to wax yourself at home.

Waxing is only suitable for products made from Fjällräven’s G-1000 fabric – the original Vinylon F Kånken and Re-Kånken don’t require waxing.

If you can’t make it to the tour, you can still make use of our usual waxing service which is done on a drop and collect basis, it’s free for items bought at The Brokedown Palace and chargeable for items bought elsewhere (£30 charge for jackets and £20 for bags).
