A brand like ours wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for its customers. Our environmental credentials, too, mean nothing without our customers’ actions. We rely on people like you. In most of our products’ life cycles the major environmental impact doesn’t happen during manufacture, and it doesn’t happen at the end of life: it happens when you, the customer, owns it. How you wash it, dry it, care for it, and how long you use a product for, make huge differences to the environmental impact of that product.

If you’re a professional user or you use your kit as uniform then it is important that your clothing and equipment is kept in good working order. Whether you are a mountain guide or instructor, working at height in foul weather, a Mountain Rescue team member, or a member of the armed forces, at one time or another you will be relying on your kit. Read our tips on caring for the kit you use every day.
