We're all born outdoor enthusiasts

We evolved over millennia to live outdoors. Our brains and bodies are hard-wired to be outdoors, shaped under open skies, not artificial light. But we've normalised a world that disconnects us from the wild - and then we wonder why we're tired, anxious and maybe a bit lost. 

As Rachel Carson says "those that contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."

Life isn't a film or a well crafted social post, it's a journey and a story in the making. So aim for a start and end point to your trip, but remember everything in-between is simply a discussion with nature. 

Where adventure takes you should be back to who you were, before the world told you to stay inside.

Designed in Britain. Used around the world.

Baselayer + midlayer + outerlayer. Build your perfect layering system for summer in the hills.
