New North West Casual Shirt - Order by 11 August

A new shirt to wear pre & post race because we don’t always want to hang out in sweaty, muddy race shirts! Can also be worn as a race shirt if needed.

Design - Trimtex ‘Free’ - made from a light stretchy fabric that’s quick drying & breathable

Measurements - check the size guide at http://trimtex.no/en/sizeguie/customer-service- b2b-Sizeguide.html

NB The shirt has a looser fit than the NWOC race shirt – if you’re tossing up between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size.

Order using the shop function on our North West website https://www.nwoc.org.nz/home/
Please note that we are currently only taking orders for the Casual shirt. We will take orders some time soon for a new delivery of Race shirts.

Orders Close Friday 11 August. Delivery before Labour Weekend 2017
