We have been advised by several suppliers that prices are increasing. The products ranges affected are Kustom kit, Regatta and Gildan. We are holding our prices existing prices until 1st July, so if you want to avoid the price rises you can stock up now.
The reasons given for the increases are as follows:
- Increased production costs partly due to escalating oil prices.
- A weakening of Sterling.
- Increased distribution costs.
- Increased cotton prices.
- Appreciation of Chinese currency and rising Chinese labour costs.
We also stock thousands of items with discounted prices in our special offer section.

Record breaking mountaineer Kerry Regan has scaled 214 peaks, not much you may be scoffing, except for the fact that she is a seven year old. Kerry has been climbing since she was three and her achievement threatens only to be broken by her brother, already a veteran climber with 15 mountains under his belt at only three. Speaking as someone whose physical condition probably peaked at three years old and would never dream of approaching a mountain this is extremely impressive. When asked to put some of the outdoor specialists Regatta’s gear to the test Kerry was very impressed with their durability, comfort and the protection they afforded.
We have always found Regatta’s Children’s Fleeces and Waterproof Packaway Jackets to be extremely popular and it is good to know both an expert on climbing and a child agrees!
