Mountain Rescue Teams
Supporting those who keep us safe in the mountains.
Mountain Rescue is an essential volunteer service called upon when the worst happens. Comprising 47 teams across England and Wales and 28 teams in Scotland, the volunteers on every team are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They are relied upon by those who need help in the mountains, whether that’s guiding lost parties back to safety, going to the aid of injured climbers, or helping in search and rescue operations.
Since 2009, we’ve been developing specialist clothing in collaboration with UK Mountain Rescue Teams and their volunteers. More than 40 teams now rely on our waterproof shells, insulation, and legwear during real-world operations and training in the most demanding weather conditions.
Turning Black Friday Red
This Black Friday weekend, we’re doing things differently.
From Friday 28 November to Monday 1 December, 10% of all direct UK online sales will be donated to UK-based Mountain Rescue Teams. This campaign supports the volunteers who head out when others are told to stay home.
Limited Edition Kongur Jacket
Born from rescue. Built for the mountains.
Created to celebrate the work of the UK’s Mountain Rescue Teams and the iconic Kongur Jacket they helped shape.
Designed for Mountain Rescue
Mountain Rescue Teams can be called upon to go out into the worst conditions imaginable. Freezing temperatures, howling gales, and driving rain are all-too-common features of callouts, and the kit they wear needs to be up to the job.
For Mountain Equipment this provides some of the toughest conditions any of our products will face and is a valuable source of product feedback and testing.
We incorporate feedback from teams into the design of our rescue specific products; from hoods designed to offer greater field of vision and protection in bad weather to the use of durable YKK® AquaGuard zips and double stormflaps to ensure wind-driven rain stays outside your jacket, to totally windproof and waterproof fabrics to protect from windchill and rain using the very best technologies such as GORE-TEX Brand fabrics. These products are designed with the very worst of weather in mind.
