Revolution Race is a relatively new name on the outdoor scene, but it’s a brand that’s made a serious impact in a short amount of time. Founded in Sweden in 2014, Revolution Race set out with a simple mission: to create technical outdoor clothing that delivers real performance without the hefty price tag. In an industry often dominated by premium brands, they’ve carved out a space for themselves by offering rugged, thoughtfully designed kit that’s a lot more affordable than many of their competitors.

Their range originally made waves with durable, hard-wearing hiking trousers — and it’s easy to see why. Revolution Race trousers are built with tough fabrics, sensible reinforcement in high-wear areas, and smart touches like zipped thigh pockets, stretch panels and even integrated RECCO reflectors for added safety — features you’d normally expect to pay a lot more for. Since then, the brand has expanded into jackets, midlayers and footwear, carrying the same philosophy of offering serious outdoor functionality at accessible prices.

While not every item hits the technical highs of the most premium specialist brands, in our experience, Revolution Race gear generally offers excellent value. It’s robust, practical and perfectly suited to walkers, hikers and everyday adventurers looking for kit that works without breaking the bank.

If you’re looking for the best Revolution Race gear for British trails, hills and woodlands, our Revolution Race gear reviews cover the trousers, jackets and layers we’ve tested properly in real-world conditions. Whether you’re tackling a muddy footpath or planning a full day in the hills, we break down what stands out — and why this new kid on the block is well worth a closer look.

The GBAC’s Take

We’ve found Revolution Race trousers to be particularly strong — hard-wearing and well priced. Some of their other kit can feel less technical, but overall the price-to-performance ratio is usually very acceptable.
