A letter from Kenny, Alpkit Co-founder
When I get the itch for adventure I don't spend days stressing over what to pack. I reach for my favourites.
When we started we were clear on what we needed. Lightweight, functional kit that didn't cost the Earth. 20 years on and I am still reaching for many of the same products, stuffing them into the van, lashing to a bike or throwing on my back.
A Phud bouldering mat for safe landings, a Gourdon to carry stuff and keep it dry, Hunka and PipeDream for staying warm and dry when bivvying, Stingray framebag and Camino for self-supported adventures on two wheels. The list goes on.
Favourites are easy decisions that free up headspace for the adventure itself.
With so many star products to choose from now. What are your favourites going to be in 20 years time?
