Other Materials

We work with the best materials possible. Metal hardware, YKK® zippers, Fidlock magnetic buckles, Cobra buckles, YKK®, Duraflex, ITW Nexus, Wetool, Woojin.

THINKING GREEN

We create equipment to allow people to enjoy the outdoors. Thinking of the enviromental impact involved in creating these products is one of importance.

Quality

To create durable products with a long lifespan, we use companies with high quality products we can trust.

Materials

By sourcing materials that do not use virgin materials and/or have a lower environmental impact during production.

A good example is the PET post-consumer water bottles in the X-Pac® RX fabric range that are manufactured in a 100% climate neutral factory.

DWR coatings

Where possible we source PFC free or organically based water resistant coatings on fabrics and zippers.

Repair

All products are designed with the possibility of repairing or replacing components if necessary.

Studio Collection

We offer order collect from our design studio in Edinburgh.

Energy saving Machinery

We invested in the latest machinery that are equiped with energy effecient electic motors.
