CANNAE PRO CLOTHING
US Brand Cannae Pro are fast becoming known and
respected for their packs and bags, but they also make
some cracking clothing. The team at PMCI got their
hands on it and took a very close look.
Cannae Pro you may well ask, who are they, where have
they come from, and why should I be interested? Valid
questions all which I’ll endeavour to enlighten you on.
