Our 'Ethical Construction' principles are something we've been working on ever since we started the outdoor clothing company. It is our pattern language for making things strong, simple and appropriate to the task.

Our aim is to design and build durable, useful products. We do this by utilising quality fabrics and components, and design sensibilities gained in over a decade of experience of their properties.

• Internally bound seams for water resistance, added strength, and reduced wear on the seams
• Reinforcing at high wear areas
• High density webbing reduces buckle slippage
• Fabrics selected for specific uses
• YKK zips - still the best
• Nylon duraflex buckles - light, strong, and durable
• 1000 denier external edge binding - for strength and abrasion resistance
• Quality woven labels
• Reinforced eyelet construction to help stop eyelet failure
• Double layer bases and reinforcing at the bottom of the harness
