Outsiders Store

Outsiders Store: functional outdoor clothing and equipment retail

Outsiders Store is a British retailer of outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment for men and women. The company was founded in 2017 in Manchester, England, by Robert Brigham, as an alternative and complementary addition to the family business Ellis Brigham Mountain Sports. According to the company's own account, the project was conceived to offer a more laid-back, adaptive and less sport-focused option within the outdoor market. The name Outsiders was chosen as a kind of homonym, reflecting a left-field, off-the-beaten-path brand direction.

Product range

The catalogue is organised into men's, women's and equipment sections, with additional navigation by activity and by brand. The men's and women's lines include clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, pants, sweats and knits, fleece, outerwear, shorts, underwear and socks, alongside accessories including bags, belts, books and magazines, gloves, hats and beanies, scarves and neck-warmers, sunglasses, wallets and watches. Footwear covers trainers, boots, shoes, sandals and slippers. The equipment section is structured around hiking, ultralight, camping, trail running and climbing, and includes bags, tents, sleeping bags and mats, furniture, camping lighting, blankets and towels, camping cookware, camping food, bottles and flasks, knives, camping accessories, key rings, navigation, walking poles, books and magazines, and watches.

Ultralight focus

Outsiders Store gives particular prominence to ultralight hiking. In its own explanation, the concept is presented as one of simplicity: stripping out the superfluous to focus on what is really needed, packing less so users can experience more. This approach is reflected in a dedicated ultralight section within the equipment catalogue and in the selection of lightweight brands and products.
