The UK wholesaler tells me that they didn't import any Swanys this

There are some to be had, but not in my size. I think Canada remains
my best bet.


Did you try emailing to see who else stocked
them? A quick search shows just one retailer in Verbier with that
specific model,

Useful, ta - I'm missing a search from Switzerland button!

but it's more expensive than the US price, so if you can be confident
of the size you might as well just mail-order it from the US.


I see what you mean - there's a big difference in price. I think I'll
look for some more detail on Canadian prices, where if I'm patient I
can see them before buying - which I'm more inclined to do now, given
how expensive the better ones are.
