Nobody needs reliable outdoor gear more than our search and rescue teams. The varied challenges these volunteers contend with when out on operations in some of the most demanding terrain in the UK means that they need some pretty specific kit. And no team can speak to this more than the Western Beacons Mountain Rescue Team.
This team covers the largest area of any of the various teams across the UK, with their purview covering all of Pembrokeshire and much of the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog). This western corner of Wales also happens to be one of the UK’s busiest hillwalking regions, as well as one of the wettest parts of the country, a dangerous blend that sees the team out on more than 60 operations a year.
