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.
Affiliate programme
Alpine Equipment Company works with creators who genuinely use outdoor gear and care about doing things properly. We partner with climbers, trail runners, and mountain users who test equipment in real conditions and share honest, experience‑based content with their audience. Our approach is long‑term and product‑led, not one‑off promo posts. We want creators to spend time using the gear before talking about it, and we don’t script opinions or push exaggerated claims. Authenticity matters to us. Because our products are used in demanding environments, we also ask that content reflects safe and appropriate use. Creators can expect straightforward communication, transparent terms, respect for honest feedback, and opportunities to grow with the brand over time. If that sounds like your style, we’d love to work with you.
