Regatta

Regatta is one of Britain’s best-known outdoor brands, built on a mission to make getting outside affordable and accessible for everyone. Founded in Manchester in 1981, Regatta remains proudly family-owned today, operating under the umbrella of the Regatta Group — which also includes other outdoor names like Craghoppers and Dare 2b. Their continued independence means Regatta has been able to stay true to its roots: producing straightforward, budget-friendly gear designed for everyday British adventures.

Their product range covers just about every outdoor basic you could need, from waterproof jackets and fleeces to walking trousers, tents and rucksacks. Regatta gear is built with a focus on functionality and value rather than chasing ultra-technical performance. In our experience, while it might not carry the polish or refinement of premium specialist brands, Regatta kit tends to perform well enough for the majority of day walkers, family campers, Duke of Edinburgh participants and casual outdoor users.

There’s a very British practicality to Regatta’s approach: keeping things simple, offering honest kit at fair prices, and making sure more people can get outside without needing to invest heavily. For many, Regatta kit provides the first steps into a lifetime of hillwalking, rambling or camping — and it continues to deliver solid performance for anyone looking for gear that works without breaking the bank.
