Back in April this year, we got the new colors of Ass Savers mudguards directly from the manufacturer,

the three colors of "Bold Rain" with a rainy pattern and
the previously available "Feather" and "Feather Tropical".
We sourced them directly from the manufacturer because
the Japanese distributor for Ass Savers
didn't carry them in stock.
By the way, they're already completely sold out—
thank you for your purchases.

However, it looks like the Ass Savers distributor will be handling
these as new products soon,
so we'll be able to source from them going forward.
The two Feather colors are models that have existed for many years,
but this will be the first time the Japanese distributor carries them.

The three Bold Rain colors and Feather White were 11 euros,
and Feather Tropical was 12 euros,
so I set the prices at 1,800 yen and 1,960 yen respectively based on the exchange rate at the time,
but the distributor's planned retail prices including tax are
2,420 yen for the former and 2,860 yen for the latter.

By the way,
the Ass Savers distributor is also
the only distributor in Japan that carries SwissStop,


but according to the catalog, the line break is
not "Swiss Stop" but "Swisss Top"
—obviously a typo though

and on an unrelated note,
there's also something called Swiss Sttop (→here)
