HOME/About Us/Our Partners/Rab Lowe Alpine/Glenmore Lodge Instructor Rab Kit

Glenmore LodgeInstructor Kit

Our Instructors need to be well equipped to handle the varied conditions of the Cairngorms, throughout the year. Rab kit keeps our team warm and dry, allowing them to perform their best when teaching and guiding.

Since 2021, Glenmore Lodge Instructors have been kitted out in clothing and gear from Rab (Equip Outdoor Technologies Ltd.) that enables them to perform their best whether they’re delivering a beginner navigation course or scaling multi-pitch trad routes in the mountains. Learn more about the partnership here.

We’re also partnered with Ellis Brigham, one of the UK’s largest outdoor equipment retailers. Glenmore Lodge course customers receive 10% off when they shop for new gear at Ellis Brigham.
