Berghaus is lining up its sights on a younger market this summer,
a much younger market, in fact its New Generation kids range
is designed for 7-13 year olds...
And to go along with the new clothing range, which will be
appearing in shops shortly, there's a new section of the Berghaus web
site called Next Generation Clubhaus. Based on the
free-membership Clubhaus concept, it's an online activity centre for
youngsters featuring polls, information, competitions and safe links
to find out more about the outdoors.
Visitors will also be able to put questions to a different member
of the Berghaus team of sponsored athletes every month, including
star climber Leo Houlding, top mountain bike free rider Rob Jarman
and Challenge 8000 man Alan Hinkes.
Just Like The Grown-Ups
The
new range, says Berghaus, is intended to offer multi-activity
clothing that's every bit as well made and featured as the adult
range with no corners cut. That means Aquafoil fabrics for the
waterproof range, fully-adjustable mountain hoods, ski-pass pockets,
adjustable cuffs, reflective trims, fleece linings and so on.
And as with the adult range, there's a spread of kit through from
warm fleeces in 200-weight material via Tect-T wicking base layers to
breathable waterproof shell clothing. There's also footwear,
accessories like gloves and hats and packs as well..
How much will it cost? We don't have a clue because no-one's told
us. What does it look like? You can find the whole range on the web
site from clothing to footwear and packs but it will be appearing in
selected shops from this month. Here are a few bits to look at.
