We’re not doing Black Friday for two reasons. It’s not good for the planet because it encourages people to buy things they don’t need. Also creating a culture of discounting is bad for independent business like us as we can’t slash our prices, like the big retailers can.
If you are still itching to press that buy it now button, we’ve put a list together with some of our favourite independent brands that you can support instead.
Tom & Will

Born on a bikepacking trip - somewhere between not showering for 5 days, rolling around in bivvy bags and shouting kaaa kaaaw every-time they saw a majestic bird of prey, that out door provisions was born.
