The Mello does what it wants: it goes with the flow, rolls with the punches, takes it as it comes. You can’t pigeonhole Mello and put it in a neat box – Mello’s too mellow for that kind of thinking.
We’ve all got one of those rare pieces of outdoor kit: an item of clothing so comfortable and reliable that it transcends its original purpose and gets worn for absolutely everything. With a 4-way stretch for high strides and awkward bouldering moves, sweat wicking properties, and a durable knit to stand up to Derbyshire grit and rough indoor walls, the Mello Tight has your back. Or rather: your legs.
Close-fitting but not compressive, the tights have a mid to high-rise cut and deep waistband to ensure complete coverage and comfort when climbing or scrambling. This fit, combined with the flatlock seams, also ensures that the tights fit neatly under a harness or rucksack hip belt. The fabric is completely opaque to prevent any show-through and there’s a neat side pocket for smartphones and perpetual flapjack crumbs.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
