Here at Red Original we believe you should do more. More hiking, biking, paddle boarding or puddle dodging, no matter what your activity may be, we believe you should do more of what you love.
That’s why we’ve developed a range of premium outdoor accessories designed to deliver the very best performance in all conditions to make it easier for you to simply get out and do more of what you love more often.
Having the time
Due to the changes this year, we have all discovered a new love and appreciation for our local green spaces. We have gained extra hours that would otherwise be spent sat in traffic wreathed in exhaust smoke. Spending less time trawling through shopping centres and wrestling with the toing and froing of every day life often means we are no longer bumping our favourite leisure activity off the priority ladder.
Now with this newfound time where less is more, we’ve stripped ourselves of the rush and haste and replaced with activities and friendships that actually…well make us feel pretty good. When you’ve created space for one thing a new and exciting opportunity occurs for something else. Now we can strip back, lace up those boots, step out that front door and do more!
The local adventure
Whether you’re a paddler, walker, runner or biker (perhaps more likely a mixture of all things outdoors) depending on what you fancy that day. We want to help you get out and do more of the things you love, enabling you to maximisie whatever time you have available. A local dog walk, picnics with your family or that sneaky after-work paddle whilst the sun is still out. Those micro adventures and ad hoc get-togethers are needed more now than ever before.
Now we can have time to log off, log out and switch off allowing us to return to the pastimes we enjoy the most. Load up your backpacks throw a few cold ones in the cool bag and head out on for your own original adventure.
Helping you do more
We appreciate how important our leisure activities are to our wellbeing, so we wanted to make it easier and more comfortable for you to have reliable hard wearing and good quality items. To keep you items dry, your body warm and your drinks ice cold.
We wanted to create products that could be used for multiple adventures and days out. We all have that item that when we pop it in the washing basket, we’re a little upset because you will be out your favourite top for a day. We wanted to make that top!
Most of us are forecast led when it comes to our weekends activities so having products that can meet multiple needs are a must. Much loved Changing Robes that never leave the car, drinks bottles that follow you on every trip to the gym, beach or workplace and performance clothing that looks just on good on the trails and rivers as they do in the pub.
Making equipment and clothing that wants to join you on every adventure was essential to our process. We want our gear to never collect dust, to be just out of arms reach ready and waiting for that post work wild swim or a trip to the beach with the kids. We want to come along for the ride! We want you to DO MORE!
