Used & New Scramble Kit Test Bargains (Clothing)

Scramble's Kit Test Clear-Out:  Used & New Items from the Kit Test Archives

Scramble run two or three intensive kit tests per year (see here). They wanted a place to off-load individual items from old kit tests, so we made this page for clothing and a companion page for equipment and clothing accessories. These are the two Scramble Kit Test Clear-Out pages. 

Because Scramble don't have a limitless budget they do a great deal of research before items are even selected as possible rivals for preexisting recommendations. All items listed here were genuine "best-in-class" contenders and will likely serve their new owners very well indeed.

There is now a post on Scramble which details all the important information regarding each item, stating its precise condition, usage and any background information that may help customers make an informed purchase.

We've provided a concise summary below, but would strongly recommend looking over Scramble's Kit Test Clearance post.
