Sure, it doesn’t often hit negative degrees, and as far as we’re aware there aren’t any volcanoes either, but in the Lakes we’re massive fans of a serious winter jacket, especially if it feels tough enough that it could even take on some lava. That’s why every winter…
If you every want a good, pocketed, boxy, lightweight jacket which looks the business and serves you well on a vertical gander, then look no further than Korea’s Uniform Bridge. We’ve gone on about UB’s jackets and ready-to-wear jersey pieces a few times now, and we’re going on…
It’s actually a bit staggering how many random piles of slate there are in the Lakes. We took a drive out and passed about 4 before deciding to get out and play on one. One pile linked onto another, and another, and about 15 minutes later we were…
Copenhagen’s Norse Projects have been selling top level kit in the Danish capital since 2004, and they’ve been making their own gear since 2009. That’s 12 years, and 12 years is a lot of gear. They’ve cycled through a lot of designs, but this season they’ve brought back their…

Every now and then, you’ve just got to climb something stupid. Remember a month ago when we took some of Salomon’s XT-6 trainers up a fell to see how they’d hold up? Well, they did great, but as Lake District dwellers, we weren’t quite satisfied with how hard…
Headache has departed. Here’s some pictures from our collaboration launch party with Rab Equipment. Hope you can all make it to the next one! In case you can’t wait for whatever we do next…
We’ve proud to announce that we’ve made a combo collection with British mountaineering company Rab Equipment, comprising of a Firewall Jacket, made from a DWR treated Pertex Shield 3L fabric, and one of our Fisherman’s Pike Beanies, made from European REACH, ethically-sourced Donegal yarns.

If you’ve been with us for a couple of years, you may remember that back in 2019 we started our work with 1% For The Planet, by donating 1% of all our Patagonia revenue towards the cause. This wasn’t quite enough though – we wanted to get our…
