Here's what you will find in our online shop. Gear for the orienteer, climber, camper & outdoor activist who all need good reliable outdoor equipment. For events like the LAMM (Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon) choosing the right carrying equipment is essential you'll need a good lightweight rucksack, tent, sleeping bag and stove. Spare clothing, energy food and sports drinks, even water carriers & medical first aid must be carried. For those long dark nights or longer than expected days, good lighting for night navigation can be used in the form of a head torch.

When preparing for & taking part in these great outdoor adventures you can benefit from the use of some of our precision equipment. For navigation, compasses, watches & altimeters all have an important part to play in safely choosing the best route along with the guide books and maps.
