For a very small indepedent company we've managed to support a lot of charities and charity events over the years, invariably involving extreme adventures in extreme conditions. Below are just some of them. And as a company, we give ongoing monthly support to the RNLI and Dog's Trust.

Sadly, when it comes to approaches for support by way of free gear, it is not possible for us to be totally altruistic, especially in these very difficult times. We therefore expect, in return for our support, a sufficient amount of internet-based publicity.

The type of support we expect is:

• interactive postings on forums and blogs where our gear is discussed and reviewed
• reviews on influential blogs and on-line magazines.
• Postings on our Facebook page.

Please be aware that unless this reciprocal support must be forthcoming within the time schedule stipulated at the time gear is supplied. Unfortunately as a result of being let down in the past, if such support is promised then not forthcoming, we reserve the right to invoice and be paid for all gear supplied.

In certain circumstances we may consider offering gear at a discount, but in order to be considered, in return for discount, we expect a link on the parent organisation's website.

Please note that our sponsorship for 2011-12 is now fully committed.

Requests for sample clothing for Review:

Almost all of our reviews are published on blogs, or posted on forums by customers who have bought from us. We do not, unless there are special circumstances, supply free items for review on personal blogs.

If items are requested for review in publications, we require confirmation from the site's editor/webmaster that a relevant detailed review will appear within a pre-determined time. Should a review not appear as agreed, we will invoice for the clothing supplied.
