Layer 01
A merino or synthetic base moves sweat away from the skin and stays warm when it is damp.
Layer 02
A fleece or softshell adds warmth and takes the chill off a stop.
Layer 03
A waterproof hardshell keeps the wind and rain out without trapping the heat of the day.
A shelter that stands up to weather and a sleep system that keeps the cold out turn a long day into a proper night out. We stock tents, sleeping bags and mats for the hills, the coast and the woods.
A few habits keep waterproofs working, boots sound and down lofted for years.
01
Wash and reproof a shell when water stops beading. A clean jacket breathes better and lasts longer.
02
Take the insoles out, loosen the laces and dry leather away from direct heat. Stuff with newspaper overnight.
03
Keep down jackets and bags in a cotton storage sack, not compressed, and wash them with a down-specific cleaner.
