There are many reasons why renting your ski and snowboard clothing is a great idea, perhaps one of the most important is sustainability. There are many aspects of life where it is easy to reduce our impact on the environment and one of the most effective is moving away from a throwaway towards a reuse society. This is especially true with clothing for your winter holidays. Why, when for most, you use once a year, buy your gear. By renting ski clothing, your impact on the environment is greatly reduced and with our kit, you do not need to compromise on quality and style.

We are committed to creating a sustainable culture and with this in mind. We have partnered up with Protect Our Winters UK, the British arm of the global effort. It would be wonderful if you could visit their site to see how you can help and make those little changes that make all the difference.

Here is a list of ideas to make your winter holiday more sustainable.

a) rent your clothing! (and of course we would put this as number one!)

b) reduce your travel footprint - it is actually really easy to get to the Alps via train. In fact, there is a company that gives you information on just this https://www.snowcarbon.co.uk/

c) stay clear of throwaway plastic bottles. Invest in a good quality bottle for your holiday, most restaurants will fill it up for you if you get something else, so you will save a fortune as well

For our part, we have some goals too.

a) currently we have a large stock of plastic bags that we use for our deliveries. It would be a waste just to ditch these, but when we come to the end of this batch, we will be switching to a reusable bag for multiple rentals.

b) we aim to migrate from diesel powered deliveries towards electric alternatives

c) to continue to use high end clothing which lasts longer and retains great quality

Protect Our Winters UK

Work with us to protect the people and places we love

Protect Our Winters UK exists to rally the outdoor community to lead on meaningful climate action.

Formed in 2017 by UK outdoor enthusiasts, we are part of a global movement operating across Europe, North America, Australasia and Japan. We are political but non-partisan, practical in our approach, and rooted in sport and the outdoors.

We work with businesses that want to move beyond statements and into measurable, credible progress.

Our mission

To rally the outdoor community to lead on meaningful climate action.

We focus on three core impact areas:

1. Climate action advocacy

2. Low-carbon mobility

3. Outdoor industry impact
   

Everything we do sits within our ACE framework: Advocate. Collaborate. Educate.

We work with businesses who are ready to move beyond statements and into credible, measurable progress.

Together we:

• Raise the voice of the outdoor community in favour of climate action

• Influence policy and push for systems change

• Accelerate low-carbon mobility for the outdoor community

• Support businesses to reduce emissions and build credible Net Zero pathways

• Equip staff and athletes to speak confidently and responsibly about climate

• Contribute to defining higher sustainability standards across the outdoor sector

We believe in progress over perfection.

We practise imperfect advocacy.

And we prioritise long-term transformation over short-term campaigns.

Why now?

As the future of winter sport becomes increasingly uncertain, and as global sporting events face growing climate scrutiny, the outdoor sector has both responsibility and influence.

Your platforms, networks and supply chains have reach.
Used well, they can accelerate change far beyond your own operations.

The question is no longer whether businesses should engage in climate action.
It is how credibly and how boldly.
