Durham Mountaineering was established in 1981 as a small outdoor brand, handcrafting gear for mountaineers and walkers who wanted more than just functionality. Offering personalised outdoor clothing and equipment, it gave adventurers the freedom to choose fabrics, patterns, and colours that suited their journeys.
From its early tailored designs to technical innovations like mountaineering jackets, ice climbing gear, and gaiters, Durham Mountaineering built a quiet reputation for quality and exploration. What started as a modest venture evolved into a trusted heritage name in outdoor apparel, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of adventure.
Today, that legacy is being revived. This is more than a return, it is a rebuild. We are re-establishing Durham Mountaineering, earning recognition step by step, and laying the groundwork for a new chapter focused on performance, technical outdoor gear, and modern adventure.
