Welcome to the AEC Tribe.
What's important to us
A muddy dog walk. A summer run. Climbing at your local crag or getting up early for the hike up Ben Nevis. We’re not fussed what you do outdoors. What matters to us is that you can do it. Because being outside is the best side of life. The outdoors must be for everyone. Our job is to make sure you have the right gear to get there.
Our Philosophy
We believe the best of life is lived outdoors. And that absolutely nothing should stop you being there.
