western isles challenge
sponsors media to date

 

 

 

Sponsorship (non-competitive with Lowe Alpine) is still available for the Solo Event, which will once again feature some of the world's top adventure racers. 

We are also interested in in-kind sponsorship from suppliers whose products can add value to the event in the area of prizes, logistics and safety

Meanwhile, thank you to our sponsors and supporters so far ...

Lowe Alpine was born 30 years ago in the work shed of US climber Greg Lowe. Though we've since expanded to become an international company with worldwide sales, we retain Greg's vision and enthusiasm. Among our staff you'll find rock climbers and alpinists, mountain bikers and skiers, fell runners and canoeists
We remain innovators at heart, and can look back on a history of novel solutions to intractable problems. But innovation is more than a crazy dream given free rein. It is raw creativity made real by dogged refinement. Functional design such as this effuses natural style and elegance
We're proud that the Lowe Alpine name inspires confidence. Yet we're aware that a hang-tag alone can't confer integrity. So we build reliability into products at every stage of manufacture - design, materials, construction. It's more than pride in our name we seek to preserve: our gear is used in the world's most hostile regions and must not fail.
