The superb quality of the Abeko gear is not created by accident. Abeko have been manufacturing quality waterproofs in Sweden for over 60 years. They use the very best materials, the best manufacturing processes and carry our rigerous testing on the gear.

The tests are carried our on all the products before they are approved.  New materials, seams, tape systems, welds and construction methods all have to be passed by Abeko Labs to prove their worth. They don’t go easy on the clothing! They scratch it, stretch it, wash it, measure it and cut it before the gear can pass the tests.  They test all their products and ideas. Everything has to be passed by Abeko Labs. Have a look at the photos below of just two of these tests.

So by buying Abeko at PuddleDucks you can be sure that you are buying the best quality waterproofs in the world.

Over to Eleanor “I would like to say thank you for my order, received impeccably packed and in zip time too. my two boys (Oisin, 13 months, Cian, 3 in December) have worn them daily since they arrived on Thursday. They look really great on, nice and baggy and bright and have been just right for mucking about in the front garden without Mammy feeling slightly stressed about just how damp they are getting.”

Thanks so much Eleanor, Oisín and Cian. Here’s some lovely photos of the lads in their gear:

Multiple award winning couple Noel Donegan and Luz Java have reached new heights with their latest addition to the market.

“Santa’s Rooftop Scramble,” their new board game is already a top seller this year in Smyth’s Toys.

This inventive and enterprising couple have an impressive catalog of awards to their name;

• Creative Toy of the year
• Good Toy Guide Gold Medal Winners
• MAX – IT Award winners
• Science Museum – Smart Play Award winners

Santa’s Rooftop Scramble offers endless hours of fun for all the family and with a retail price of just €19,99 its sure to be a winner with families looking for real value this Christmas.

Noel said ” It’s important in these financially challenging times to offer real value to already hard pressed families.”  Noel and Luz made a decision to settle on a reduced profit margin by manufacturing Santa’s Rooftop Scramble, here in Ireland as opposed to China. Noel Said ” Hasbro Ireland did a marvelous job on the manufacturing as you would expect from one of the worlds leading toy manufacturers.

“We are proud to be supporting Irish manufacturing and Irish jobs,”added Luz.

Whether you are 5 years old or 95 years old Santa’s Rooftop Scramble is a joy to play and a wonderful way to get everyone together for some magical and fun filled family time.

And as if that was not enough Santa’s Rooftop Scramble has another great surprise waiting for you when you open the box. Inside is a competition leaflet that allows you to send your picture and your name to Noel and Luz. If you are the lucky winner of the competition then Noel and Luz will have your picture illustrated and included alongside your name as one of the letter to Santa cards to be included in the next production run of Santa’s Rooftop scramble.
