Grab your Berghaus, it's time to get out
Berghaus recognises that we’re all outdoor people at heart. We love to get out, come rain, shine or more rain. But life today has a nasty habit of getting in the way, like when we find ourselves scrolling rather than walking.
Berghaus joined the Pentland family in 1993 and, from its early days above a shop in the North-East of England, the brand has racked up more than 50 years’ experience creating outdoor gear. It’s beautifully designed and built to last to help people get into the outdoors.

Tackling unbearably low temperatures and blistering winds speeds. Traversing across 150 km of ice with just each other for support. In just a few weeks, @edjackson8 @drniallmccann and @darrenedwards_adventurer will tackle an enormous challenge… To become the first ever fully disabled team to cross Vatnajokull, the largest ice cap in Western Europe. All in support of @millimetres2mountains

In just 4 weeks time, Berghaus ambassador Ed Jackson, along with pals and fellow spinal cord injury survivors Darren Edwards and Niall McCann will embark on a ground-breaking expedition as they attempt to become the first ever fully disabled team to embark across Vatnajokull, the largest ice cap in Western Europe.
Over the course of 2 weeks, the team of 3 will ski, drag and push themselves across 150 km of ice, battling temperatures as low as -25c and wind speeds upwards of 100 kmh. This is a savage environment for anyone and the team has the added complications associated with their spinal cord injuries. It will be no easy feat, but they have spent the past months training with the best in the industry to ensure they are ready for this monumental undertaking.
The aim? To raise money for Millimetres 2 Mountains, a charity that provides support to others recovering from trauma. The team hopes that this mission will show that a terrible diagnosis does not necessarily mean a terrible prognosis. They want to prove that anyone can go on to achieve incredible things whilst hopefully changing a few preconceptions of disability in the process.
Their goal is to raise £1,000 per kilometre that they traverse. That’s a total of £150,000. Tap the link in our bio to donate and stay tuned to Millimetres 2 Mountains for updates on their trip, starting in mid-April.
Best of luck guys!

We believe the best of life is lived outdoors. And that absolutely nothing should stop you being there. So, we were more than happy to help support Rylan, Oti, and Emma Willis on this year’s Big Red Nose Day challenge as they set out to reach the summit of Cairn Gorm Mountain in the Highlands of Scotland.
Over four punishing days and three freezing nights, the team faced the ultimate test of willpower, determination, and survival skills. Trekking between Braemar and Cairn Gorm immersed in a vast wintery landscape with few roads and little shelter. Despite the 70mph winds, freezing temperatures, aches, pains, and fatigue, all three made it to the summit, bringing an emotional close to their extraordinary journey to raise life-changing money for Red Nose Day.
You can watch all the action this Tuesday, March 14th at 9 pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

Uniform for City Outsiders.
Drawing from the concept of Urban Utility. Exploring the space between city and nature.
Our latest menswear capsule rips up the boundaries and blurs the parallels between the two, to deliver top-drawer outdoor performance with a strictly minimalist, city aesthetic.
A focus on versatile all-weather protection is reflected through materials such as GORE-TEX INFINIUM, Pertex® 3D Weave and our proprietary tech Hydrodown - souped-up insulation that stays warm, even when wet – while functional features such as ventilation zips, adjustable cuffs, hems, and hoods allow for adaptable fits and silhouettes.
Some real nice kit, even if we do say so ourselves.
