Peak Performance - New Sponsor

As of Friday - i have a new sponsorship deal with Peak Performance!

As you can imagine i am over the moon - i have always seen Peak clothing as probably the only brand that manages to get close to the perfect mix of top quality professional standard technicality with cuts, colours and styling that are also fashionable.

Check out the Black Light Series - a highly techincal collection co-designed by a group of 20 of the world's most experienced Mountain Guides. The clothing line is streamlined to give climbers the essentials they need without excessive pockets, zips, drawcords which often have the potential to just get in the way and be annoying - i am sure we have all experienced this whilst climbing!

Check out their technical and casual clothing lines here: http://www.peakperformance.com/
