Alpkit outdoor gear

Alpkit is a British outdoor brand established in 2004 by a group of outdoor enthusiasts. The brand follows a direct-to-consumer model, aiming to provide high-quality equipment for mountaineering, biking, and camping without the traditional retail markup.

While the brand maintains a strong British identity and performs repairs and some manufacturing through its 'Sonder' bike line and 'AK Mobile' workshops in the UK, the majority of its technical textiles and high-end gear are produced in specialized factories in Asia. Alpkit is widely recognized as a Certified B Corporation, emphasizing its commitment to social and environmental performance. The company remains independent and is largely owned by its founders and employees, maintaining a headquarters in Newthorpe, Nottinghamshire.
