Howies Slate River jacketFriday Schwag Grab: Howies Slate River Jacket worth £130!
We've just had a couple of FX bikes in to test from Trek, and the lovely Jez who dropped them off (in exchange for Tiffin and coffee) also came up with a top bit of schwag for us to give away: a Howies Slate River waterproof jacket worth £130! And all you have to do is post to be in the hat.
Not only a posh jacket but a famous one: it's been featured on the Howies Blog, modelled by the big man himself. No choice of sizes I'm afraid, we've only got one and it's a large. It's in royal blue with Bontrager and Gary Fisher embroidered logos on the front and sleeve – it did come from Trek, after all...
Same rules as ever: just post a comment on this story saying you want it and you're in the draw. We'll pull a name from a receptacle next Friday, round about 3pm. The judges' decision etc. No cash prize will be yadda yadda.
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

It's actually not too bad at the moment. I suspect the shared sections will become a nightmare in summer though. It stops before it gets into the...

I love how wannabe racer reviewers talk about fork flex under braking like their tyres are made of glue. I find traction gives long before fork flex.

Fair comments. I'll put my hands up and say I got the wrong end of the stick with this one. ¡Feliz navidad! Here's a pic for the season of goodwill.

Because people aren't buying those cars. They are effecively renting them on PCPs or via companies. The bike market doesn't work like that.

Wow, love the shade of blue!!
I think hubs and I would fight over this one...Count me in!
Blue is my colour and matches my skin tone well, so I definitely want it!! B)
Yes Please.
Yes please. I like blue and I need one.
Like the schwag, put my name in the bag!
I'll even bet it'll stop me gettin wet! B)
Yes please.
That is a really nice jacket. I just got back into riding and with the sun coming out a bit more im loving being on the saddle. Not looking forward to te april showers though but i guess thats were the jacket would really help!
Thanks
Chris.
You cant beat the performance of Howies, GF, Bonty and Trek… I want it... Met the Great man last summer in Brighton. "RIDE and SMILE" GaryF. Will look great on my GF Paragon 2008..
Howies Slate River Jacket worth £130 you can put me down for one of those! Not really put me down!
Yes please - so don't always have to wear day-glo...
Fair weather cyclist until now. Guess if I win I'll have to go out in the rain!!
Schwagg inn muy bague!!!
i'm usually an extra large in girth, but this great looking jacket will inspire me to put some miles in to slim down to a large in order to fit into it.
Well I guess its about time I posted a winning entry, and its just in time for those 'April Showers'
Blue and large. Made for me !!!
Jonboy
Yes please it'll match my new shoes
Its too big for me but I am willing to spend 130quid on pies to make it fit
ooh that looks nice, and my colour too ;o)
Im in. I've always been 'in'. When I was a kid I wore cardigans now they are 'in'. At the time people called me a twat. No one is listening now. So now blue jackets are 'in' but nobody knows it yet. So it's obvious that I wear it first then it will be 'in'. This might take 25 years but it will be such a great 'in'. Trust me guys.
Steviebike, will it co-ordinate with a cardigan?
Me please, sitting up very straight with hand in the air, Please, me, me, me.
and the winner is... megan1! sorry to everyone that missed out, a record number of entries (unsurprisingly since we usually give away mugs and stuff)
look out for a new schwag grab coming soon... won't be another howies jacket though, sorry.
I'll have one of them please
I'm in
Yes please.
Yes please.
"you want it and you're in the draw"
That was easy!
Yum tiffin… as the great Sir Sidney Ruff Diamond so memorably said "Any time is tiffin time", or was that Lady Ruff Diamond? Whatever
Right I'm going out on my bike to work up an appetite
I want to win this. Please.
you're setting a bit of a precedent for the ol' schwag... will we see flash kit every week now, or is it back to mugs, postcards and t-shirts after this?
An interesting mix
