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.

Might as well go large
Looks very nice! And what do you know, just as I need a new jacket...
Yes Please.
Just damaged my Altura Jacket this would be such a great replacement.
Can I add my name to the list? Oh, I just have.
you want it
I'd love to have the jacket.
Would you be willing to send it to Canada?
Too late to enter? I only just got the email...
get me some of that action....I could finally retire the 80's specilized pacmac
will bring out the colour of my eyes...
I really want it!
The lining in the jacket I wearr is flaking off and I look like I have the worst case of dandruff!!
Can I have it please? I've lurked here for a while now and felt I needed to register for this. My current jacket is waterproof no longer, and believe me, oop north that's mighty important!
Yes, please I would like that very very much.
just in time for the april showers
I am sure I can squeeze into that kicking jacket, and with it matching my hair, I would look even more slick
I want it!!!!!!
great, just in time for another typical british summer.
gimme gimme gimme. it's even in Oxford blue. perfect for cycling past the dreaming spires. thanks then.
Hmmm - just starting to increase my distance on the bike & looking for some new kit - would I be lucky enough to win ..... fingers crossed!
it could have been made for me. i ride a purple Gary Fisher Aquila - now 13 years old and still going strong with Bontrager components. Also in the market for a quality cycling jacket.
"Blue is the colour, cycling is the game, la la, la la la..."
Perfect size and a perfect match with my electric blue campervan. This is my chance to be as stylish as Paul Weller, but without the silly hairstyle!
YES PLEASE !!
Wanted one of these for ages, but too tight to buy one!
Mo Fo
Mo to the motherhumpin Fo
This Jacket would match my new bike
This would go nicely with my Trek 7.5FX I do my commute on.
Just splashed out on a Planet X Ti frame so no money left for anything else. And it rains a lot here!
B) I'd like to win the jacket - it would look really cool with my new bolle shades. B)
For the first time in my life I would be coordinated with my bike - yes please
Big is beautiful..........
Can't say i'm much looking forward to cutting out all these names, folding them and putting them in a hat
