COMMMUNICATION SPONSORS

The expedition is benefitting from the support of the following kit and equipment sponsors:

They are internationally recognised as pioneers in their field and they continue to introduce new technologies that redefine the standard for their industry.

GoLite is the premier global manufacturer of lightweight, innovative and sustainable equipment designed specifically for outdoor athletes. GoLite is committed to building a truly sustainable business, one that minimises its environmental impacts and produces its products in factories that are fair, safe, and non-discriminatory. GoLite are supplying the expedition with tents and packs.

Nite Logo big
Nite watches are issued to UK Special Forces and feature a rare illumination technology called GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light Source). We're delighted to welcome Nite Watches on board as our official expedition time keeper - we look forward to testing the watches in the challenging conditions in the forests and mountains of Papua.

Aquapac manufactures top-quality, waterproof, protective cases. The montane rain forests of the central highlands of New Guinea get as much as 5,000mm of rainfall per year (compared to 700mm in Edinburgh). So it's going to be wet. And Aquapac will keep our equipment dry.

CRUX is a small, specialist brand dedicated to developing product specifically for climbing. The design philosophy is simple - crux products are to be tough, light and functional. Their waterproof down sleeping bags will provide optimal protection against the challenging conditions we will face in the mountains
