When you're out in the elements, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your gear is going to hold up. That's why outdoor enthusiast Simon Calvin chooses Montrose Bag Company.
"They're simple. They're strong. They just do the job," Simon says, packing his kit into his trusty holdall before heading up into the Cairngorms. "I don't need fifty different pockets or a bag that looks like a spaceship. I need something that keeps my stuff dry and won't rip when I chuck it in the back of the Land Rover."
Our bags are designed with exactly this philosophy in mind. We use heavy-duty PVC and reinforced stitching not because it's trendy, but because it works. Whether you're hauling climbing gear, sailing equipment, or just packing for a weekend away in unpredictable Scottish weather, our bags are built to take a beating and come back for more.
We sat down with Simon to talk about his latest adventures and why he believes that when it comes to outdoor gear, simple really is best. Read the full interview to find out more about his minimalist approach to packing and his favorite hidden spots in the Highlands.
