Chris and his team have been provided with a wide range of high performance outdoor product by Berghaus. Their kit list includes some of the best mountaineering and walking gear available. We're going to highlight some of the products they have with them on this site. Look out for images of the kit in action once Chris starts to send back his reports from base camp.

Both Chris and Jim have taken one of Berghaus' new Extrem products with them to Arganglas. The Slipstream is an ultra-light smock for the times when a climber has ditched everything they don't need, half the things they do need and their sac is still too heavy to move quickly. The Slipstream has a stripped down design and represents a return to basics. Made out of the high performance GORE-TEX XCR Summit II fabric, it includes essential, but not superfluous, features and has a cut that is ideal for climbers. It also offers exceptional value with a suggested retail price of £180. For full details about the Slipstream and other products from the Berghaus range have a look at the Gear section on www.berghaus.com.
