With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

The Mountain Equipment Arete Vest is an ultra packable and lightweight down filled vest that provides perfect core insulation for cool days at the crag or long days moving quickly in the mountains.
The Arete Vest uses a water resistant down fill and super-light fabrics to make it hugely versatile. Whether worn under or over other layers, the Women's Arete Vest is small enough and light enough to be hardly noticeable in your pack or clipped to your harness.
Helium fabrics are exceptionally light, compressible and tough. There densely woven construction ensures the highest levels of down-proofing, wind resistance and resistance to heat loss.
Our high-quality water-resistant duck down has an actual minimum down cluster content of 90% and has been treated with a durably water-repellent Bluesign™ approved Teflon treatment. DOWN CODEX approved.
