Inspired by the man, the mountain and the expedition. Our garments take their lead from the life of Ed Hillary and our New Zealand roots with a contemporary focus on sustainability. As well as replicating some of the original fabrics and construction methods used in the original expedition, we also use New Zealand merino and recycled materials. We manufacture around the world, carefully choosing the best factories, many of which are small family owned businesses in New Zealand, Asia, Europe and Nepal. The collection continues Ed's philanthropic legacy, with 2% of the wholesale value of each item going to support causes that were close to his heart - helping the people of Nepal, and outdoor activities for young people around the world.
