Who do you sponsor?
We have a small team of sponsored athletes who work with us. They are chosen not just because they are operating at the highest levels of outdoor performance but also help us develop our products so that all of us benefit from their experience.
Do you sponsor expeditions with cash?
We do not give cash to any expeditions. We support the Mark Clifford Mountaineering Grant. So if your expedition is exploratory, educational, opening up new areas, benefiting local people. Then the grant may be applicable, applications should be made at. www.markclifford.co.uk
Do you support expeditions with equipment?
Each year we support a few expeditions with preferential deals on our clothing and equipment. Typically these trips will be “Firsts” in the Greater Ranges or Polar Regions of the world. In return we ask for gear feedback, written reports and top quality, high-resolution photographs of our gear in use.
We will also support trips that offer the chance to get the Mountain Equipment brand exposed to a wider audience. Have a look through the website to see who we have supported in the past, if your plans are similar to these please contact us.
Do you support charity expeditions?
There has been an explosion of fund raising “expeditions” over the last few years, ranging from a massively over subscribed frenzy to do the Three Peaks Challenge to more esoteric events in all parts of the world.
The owners and staff of Mountain Equipment make charitable donations that they feel comfortable with. We do not support any expeditions because they have a charity aspect to them; they have to fit the other criteria listed above.
