Erratic changes in the British weather demand the best in windproof and waterproof outdoor clothing to beat the elements. Whether it's a lightweight fleece for summer evening trekking in the Brecons, 2 or 3 layer Gore-Tex XCR jackets to beat the extremes of winter hillwalking and climbing in Glencoe or just a decent base layer that doesn't make you sweat buckets, the Outdoor Zone can help. The best names in extreme sportswear, clothes brands like Berghaus, Craghoppers, Trespass and Regatta supplying jackets, fleece and other outdoor clothing items. Trust the names that have gained respect from walkers, climbers and others who seek the best clothes for the outdoor lifestyle.

Trekking shoes and hiking boots

Hillwalking, hiking, trekking, climbing and approach trails all have their own technical requirements for footwear. Hiking boots, cross trainers, walking shoes and even sandals all have their own place in different outdoor conditions and names like Merrell, Meindl, Salomon and The North Face offer full choice selections of hillwalking boots and trekking shoes for the most demanding buyer.

Backpacks and Rucksacks

From daypacks and hydration packs, both light and ideal for a summers day hillwalking, to full size rucksacks, suitable for outdoor climbing expedition work. Also travel luggage where dedicated rucksacks can become a compromise, giving the option of a piece of luggage often with detachable daysack for city use, great for backpackers! Macpac, Da Kine, Osprey to name a few.

Tents and Sleeping Bags

It's your home from home so, when camping, choose tents that will give you high performance protection in all seasons. At the end of a hard day good quality sleeping bags can make the difference to you getting a decent nights sleep or not. When camping out, a bad night means a bad start to the next day, so sleeping bags matter. These days synthetic material is excellent but nothing beats down filled sleeping bags for warmth and comfort.

Also tents, sleeping bags, child carriers and clothing.
