Mont Adventure Equipment launched in the UK launch at the 2025 Outdoor Trade Show (OTS) in Liverpool.
The company also appointed Northcol as its official sales agent for the UK.
Nick Simmonds, sales manager at Mont, said: “Their knowledge of the UK outdoor industry and strong retailer relationships make them a natural fit to introduce Mont to discerning British adventurers. Mont Adventure Equipment is looking forward to building long-term partnerships across the UK, and sharing its award-winning products with a new community of outdoor enthusiasts.”
At OTS, Mont’s stand featured their tents, sleeping bags and outdoor gear, including Brindabella 850 and 700 sleeping bags.
The range of four-season down sleeping bags, for cool to cold adventures above and below the snowline, features Mont’s Cordless Collar System, vertical torso baffles for optimal insulation efficiency, and a new shell fabric. Brindabella bags feature a Radial Arc baffle system, to maximise loft and warmth, are filled with loft duck down, and include a siliconised-nylon compression stuff sack and 50L storage sack. Brindabella sleeping bags are available in standard, women’s, and XL sizes, and in ocean blue, lemongrass or black colours.
The company also showcased the Moondance 1FN 1 person tent. Fully seam-sealed and totally waterproof, the Moondance has 25% more internal floor area than an average one-person tent. Steep walls at either end and a wide ridge pole across the roof provide a spacious interior ideal for waiting out poor weather in comfort, and the full nylon interior means the Moondance 1FN offers greater protection, particularly in cold and wintry conditions.
A modern take on the traditional 3/4 length rain jacket, the Odyssey jacket is suitable for multi-day walking, skiing, ski touring and general wet weather use. Mont’s own waterproof, 100% windproof and highly breathable Hydronaute PRO fabric is used in the garment. The three-layer fabric can withstand the use of a heavy pack and has a high pin hole resistance, both critical fabric performance features for walking in harsh conditions.
Mont’s first time at the UK Outdoor Industries Awards saw its products make it to the list of finalists in two separate categories. The Mont Brindabella 850 Sleeping Bag was one of three finalists in the Sleeping category, and the Moondance 1 FN tent made the final four in the Tents/Awnings categories.
Simmonds said: “We were so glad to be part of OTS 2025, and to bring Mont’s fantastic range of outdoor gear to the UK for the first time, and to be finalists in two award categories was very much the icing on the cake. Just as we’re dedicated to better gear for the wild, Mont are committed to the UK as one of our key markets moving forward, and we are really looking forward to seeing our products in UK retailers from 2025 onwards through our newly forged relationship with Northcol.”
