Kathmandu need to do a better job of proof reading their financial statements

I don't know about that but the rain has prompted me to resurrect an old "London Fog" jacket that I bought in Vancouver about 20 years ago and subsequently "retired" as being unfashionable. Suddenly, it's back in fashion! Or maybe, that's not important at my age!

"Another concern for locals and experienced trampers alike was the number of unprepared tourists hitting the track, which can quickly become dangerous in unpredictable weather conditions.
The Herald witnessed trampers on the crossing in sandshoes and skinny jeans with scarves wrapped around their heads because they'd forgotten a hat and sunglasses.
Other more extreme examples of unprepared tourists included a group who had to be rescued from the track after walking it barefoot, channelling Frodo's barefoot journey through Mordor in The Lord of The Rings, or those tackling the crossing in jandals and wearing rubbish bags as ponchos."


This from the Herald on the hordes of tourists descending on the Tongariro Crossing.

Sounds like Kathmandu and/or Macpac should open up a shop at the start of the track! A 1000 hikers a day! Think of all the boots, hats and jackets they could sell!

They're the GNE of retail!
When the spot price is high everyone wants to buy their products..

While I like the company, I no longer hold.. I only had 8.5k shares in KMD and sold out a few of month ago and transferred the funds to IFT when they were "cheap" at the beginning of the year.

Primary reason was a wish to get out of retail stocks but I still think they'll do well. Sorry I haven't kept up regarding the guidance, but you know.. it'll all come down to a successful winter sale.. as usual.

Good luck to any holders

Haha, Yeah it looks like I could've hung in there a bit longer, but I'm pretty content with IFT's performance since buying in.
