Outdoor Clothing
The purpose of appropriate clothing is to help to regulate the temperature of the body, at the same time as providing protection for it. Obviously, there is a huge difference between the best gear for a day climbing at your local crag, a winter walk across the Cairngrom plateau, a fortnight in the jungles of Borneo, or a month long expedition in the Himalayan (we are proud to be one of only 6 Rab Expedition Stockists in the UK). Our staff do all these things, and are happy to answer your questions about the best kit for the job.
We select the best clothing from baselayer through insulation and fleece to waterproof shell and we have what you need for all your walking, climbing and mountaineering needs, all carefully selected by our staff to suit you. This includes care and cleaning products, gaiters, short leg and long trousers and waterproof overtrousers and some funky travel and casual shirts and tees too, all from the best brands (see the list and filter if required to the left)). Plus we have loads of socks, hats and gloves from all sorts of people.

Active Spine Light Base Layer Top Women's
The Odlo Active Spine base layer is light and breathable, due to the Zeroweight Eyelet mesh fabric. The top combines bio-mechanics with knitting technology to enhance your posture during activity. The base layer is mapped with compression zones that support the spine, open the chest and pull back the shoulders to reduce slouching. This improved posture leads to a more efficient intake of oxygen, improving performance and reducing muscle fatigue. Odlo's Active Spine Base layer is great for all activities or even for everyday wear to improve posture.

Using strategically positioned elastane, the shirt supports the spine and pulls the shoulders back, thus improving posture and opening up the chest. This in turn will reduce muscle fatigue and increase oxygen intake, making the Light Base Layer Top great for a variety of activities, or just for wearing day-to-day.
