Much like the heartwarming arrival of blossom on trees and nodding daffodils at this time of year, Royal Robbins always heralds the arrival of spring at Countryside Ski & Climb! We have been proud to offer Royal Robbins for over 15 years now and the brand has always stayed true to its heritage.
‘Royal Robbins’ is actually a ‘who’ not a ‘what’. He is an internationally acclaimed climber and kayaker with many first ascents under his belt and together he and his wife Liz have taught and enjoyed climbing and skiing for many years. Liz herself made the first ascent by a woman of the Northwest face of Half Dome back in 1967. In 1975 Liz decided to design her own clothing range as neither of them could ever find the quality of fit, performance and style they wanted.
Today Royal Robbins clothing is still firmly rooted in the outdoors and adventure travel world, and you’ll be pleased to hear it is as much about style as it is about performance and comfort. Royal Robbins is all about offering clothing for a versatile lifestyle which is so relevant now. If you want trousers that actually fit you (are quick drying, no fuss and smart enough for that nice restaurant you saw) and tops that aren’t all synthetic but function superbly in the heat or damp, then you have to check out the great new range we have for spring 2012.
