Brands We Love
Who makes gear worth owning
The brands AllEquipped uses and recommends — starting with rope access, technical rescue and work at height. Who makes gear worth owning, and why we rate them.
DMM
Hot-forged in Llanberis since 1981 — the last climbing hardware manufacturer left in Britain, and one of the best anywhere.
Edelrid
Founded 1863 in the Allgäu — the company that invented the rope everyone else's gear runs on.
ISC Wales
International Safety Components — the industrial specialist from North Wales, built for the loads other brands treat as exceptional.
Petzl
Fifty years of French vertical-safety engineering, and the spine of most rope access kits — including ours.
Rock Exotica
Precision rope-system hardware, machined in Utah since 1987 — the specialist everyone else's system ends up using.
Skylotec
Neuwied, Germany, since 1947 — the industrial scale player, and the only brand here that also builds the building's safety system.
Sterling Rope
Maine-made life-safety cordage since 1992 — the rope the other five brands' hardware runs on.
These are the brands we use and recommend, written up by the people who use them. Several will become stockists when the store opens — we'll say so on the page when that happens.
