Safety is the foundation of every great adventure. Whether you're scaling a challenging peak, traversing a remote trail, cycling through rugged terrain, camping in the wilderness, running across varied landscapes, or navigating a river, having the right safety equipment is crucial.
You should have access to high-quality safety gear that you can trust will get you through the misadventures in your adventure. Let's start with our first aid kits, the cornerstone of outdoor safety.
We've developed a range of kits tailored to different activities and group sizes. Our compact solo kits are perfect for day hikers and trail runners, containing essential items without adding unnecessary bulk. For longer expeditions or group trips, we offer more comprehensive kits that include a wider range of medical supplies and tools.
Having a first aid kit is only useful if you know how to use it. That's why we regularly host first aid workshops during our Big Shakeout festival, teaching outdoor enthusiasts how to effectively use their kits and handle common wilderness emergencies. We believe that knowledge is just as important as equipment when it comes to safety.
If you are a climber and one of your passions is bouldering, you will be aware of our range of UK made bouldering mats, or mini crash pads; designed to make your landings safer.
Developed over many years using durable materials and dual density foams a bouldering mat is an essential piece of bouldering equipment. Inevitably these pieces of safety kit take a beating, which is why we offer a foam replacement service.
For hikers and backpackers, we offer a range of navigation tools, including maps and compasses - we are believers in the importance of being able to navigate both with and without technology. The range is completed with other items you would expect to use in the mountains; bothy bags, water filters, midge repellents, sun creams and UV protective sun glasses.
We haven't forgotten about visibility either. We have introduced high visibility features to our equipment and clothing where it is needed. So whether you are on your weekly night run, or swimming across Windermere you can be seen where and when it matters. Our headtorches have strobe modes to be used in an emergency, and our bike luggage has options for reflective detailing to make your night rides safer.
We are passionate about making safety equipment accessible to all. Through our foundation, we support outdoor education programs, providing safety gear and training to groups that might otherwise struggle to access these resources. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors safely, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Whether you're planning a weekend camping trip or a month-long expedition, we are here to support your adventure with thoughtfully designed, rigorously tested safety equipment. Because we believe that the right safety gear doesn't just protect you – it gives you the confidence to push your boundaries and experience the true joy of outdoor adventure.
Remember, safety isn't just about having the right equipment – it's a mindset.
