It caters for a wide spectrum of enthusiasts from armchair adventurers to climbers and mountaineers to mountain bikers and budding wildlife photographers.

Catalyst Micro Jacket

A reimagined, lighter-weight version of a technical classic - now with better down management and more reliable warmth

Swedish climber Matilda Söderlund has chosen to start working with fellow Swedish outdoor brand Tierra.

There are many different aspects to the winter climbing and mountaineering game - from ice falls and snowed up buttresses, to classic gullies and big alpine routes. This wonderful diversity is a large part of the appeal, and a seasoned all rounder gets to enjoy the best of it all. The DMM Fly is the definitive all rounder, in fact just the sort of ice tool that performs well on technical ground but can easily be adapted for more traditional mountaineering terrain.

If you buy any pair of technical ice axes from us this January we'll give you a Grivel 360, 16cm Ice Screw (RRP £63.00) free of charge!

The new Rab Strata range uses high quality technical components and classic mountain features to create a new breed of insulated jacket. Unlike heavyweight belay jackets, Strata products are designed to be worn during high output activities keeping you warm and comfortable, whatever you do.
