Alpkit

Go nice places, do good things.
Neil loves being a Brand Ambassador (Alpkiteer) for Alpkit. They are a company that are based locally to us and they have a fantastic outlook on the way life and business should be.
Their company motto “Go nice places, do good things” pretty much says it all.
They are a bunch of really nice people selling quality outdoor products with an ethical approach to suppliers and sustainability. We like that, a lot.
They also only sell their products through their own flagship stores (Ambleside & Keswick in The Lake District, Hathersage in The Peak District, and now in The Metrocentre Gateshead), the HQ showroom, or online via their website which means that they can offer seriously competitive prices compared to manufacturers retailing through the high street.
They have a diverse range of products too. From superbly made Bikepacking luggage, Tents & Camping equipment, excellent Bouldering mats and Climbing hardwear, a mind boggling array of Dry-bags, Bivvy Bags, Headtorches, Down Jackets, and an extensive range of Technical & Casual Clothing.
Along with these they also have their highly regarded Sonder Bikes range with everything from Hardcore Hardtails to Steel Touring Bikes, Bikepacking Rigs, and even a Carbon Endurance Racer.
Neil currently owns a Sonder Frontier and a Signal Ti (which just happens to be the best trail hardtail that he’s ever ridden).
