THE LOUIS RUDD EDIT
THE LOUIS RUDD EDIT
Louis Rudd MBE is a record breaking polar adventurer and has served 25 years in the SAS. He is the only person to have traversed Antarctica twice using human power alone and has reached the South Pole five times. Louis has covered more than 3000 polar miles on skis and guided multiple polar expeditions, including a 1100-mile crossing of Antarctica and a 350-mile crossing of Greenland. A member of the Explorers Club and fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Louis has arguably the most significant amount of experience in the polar extremes in history. Here, Louis talks through his Shackleton essentials when on expeditions or closer to home.
"The Rothera is no doubt one of my favourite jackets. Whether it's sunny days climbing high in the mountains or chilly nights camping in sub-zero temperatures, it's a jacket you can grab for pretty much any conditions. It never lets me down."
"Cold air is always trying infiltrate your outer layers through so many routes. On expedition, it's always essential to counter that risk by closing off key areas of exposure, especially around my neck and head. The Merino Neck Warmer helps do just that."

"A counterintuitive part of extreme cold weather expeditions is the requirement for lighter layers. The Ross works perfectly as a thinner standalone layer when body heat rises but equally as an additional under-layer below jackets when the temperature drops."

"The Endurance Parka is one of the most protective jackets I have used. The performance elements of warmth and functionality are further supported by just how comfortable and secure you feel when you put this beast on."
