Something’s Coming for the Outdoors: Meet Gorilla Mountain Gear

If you love the outdoors, you know the importance of having the right kit. But here’s the thing – great outdoor gear is often expensive. Too expensive. That’s why we’re buzzing to introduce Gorilla Mountain Gear, a new UK-based brand that's about to shake things up in the world of outdoor clothing.

Founded in late 2024 by adventurer and nature-obsessed explorer Darren Jacks, Gorilla Mountain Gear is on a mission: to make high-performance outdoor clothing that’s affordable, ethical, and built to last.

A Brand Born on the Trail

Darren knows what it means to live for the outdoors. Whether you’re hiking up a hill in sideways rain or setting up camp under the stars, your gear needs to keep up. But premium outdoor kit often comes with a premium price tag – and that means a lot of people are either going without or settling for less.

We’ve all passed someone on the trail who looked soaked to the bone, freezing, or simply underprepared. Not because they’re inexperienced, but because good gear can be painfully pricey. Darren’s seen this firsthand, and it’s what sparked the idea behind Gorilla Mountain Gear.

This isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about bridging the gap – bringing together ethical sourcing, thoughtful design, and technical performance, all at a price that doesn’t make your wallet wince.

Not Just Another Outdoor Brand

We’re not here to churn out fast fashion or copy what everyone else is doing. Gorilla Mountain Gear is built on the belief that your clothing should work hard for you, last more than a season, and leave a lighter footprint on the planet.

While our technical range is still in development, we’re launching with essentials you can wear every day – think soft, comfortable t-shirts, durable hoodies, breathable caps, and practical accessories that look as good in town as they do up a mountain.

These pieces are just the beginning. They’re here to help us build our community, share our message, and grow our brand while we finalise the technical side of things.

Designed for Adventure. Built to Be Better.

Creating reliable outdoor gear takes time. We’re currently travelling abroad to meet suppliers, handpicking fabrics, and getting stuck into the design process. Every decision is made with durability, functionality, and ethics in mind.

We don’t believe in compromise. That’s why every stitch, zip, and fabric choice is carefully considered. Whether you’re heading off for a weekend hike or planning a serious expedition, we want you to feel confident that your gear will keep up – without cutting corners on sustainability or comfort.

Be Part of Something New

We’re just getting started, and we’d love for you to come along for the ride. Supporting Gorilla Mountain Gear now means you're helping to change the way outdoor clothing is made, sourced, and sold. You’re backing a future where technical performance doesn’t have to come with a sky-high price, and where ethics and adventure go hand in hand.

Watch this space – we’ve got exciting things ahead. Follow our journey, tell your mates, and get ready to gear up with Gorilla Mountain Gear.

The mountains are calling – and we’re answering in style.
