OUTDOOR SOULS
NATURE’S PULSE

BORN FROM A PASSION FOR THE OUTDOORS

In 1986, nestled at the foot of the Black Mountains, Dick Trepte established Trekitt to meet the demands of outdoor enthusiasts who, like him, craved high-quality gear that could withstand the rugged beauty of the British landscape. When the existing outdoor retailers couldn’t offer what serious adventurers needed, he took matters into his own hands.

A LEGACY OF PASSION AND ADVENTURE

For over 35 years, Trekitt has thrived as a family-owned business, guided by a deep love for the mountains and wild places. Dick’s sons, Mark and Paul, took the reins, navigating the company through both challenges and growth, ensuring that Trekitt remained true to its roots: providing exceptional outdoor equipment and sharing their passion with every customer who walked through their doors.

FORGED THROUGH GROWTH AND COMMITMENT

As the company expanded, so did the demand for their unparalleled service and expertise. Yet, despite the rapid growth, Trekitt’s commitment to quality and customer care never wavered. When it became clear that more resources were needed to sustain this growth, Mark and Paul sought out a partner who shared their dedication to the outdoors.

UNITED BY A SHARED PASSION

That partner was Frilufts Retail Europe AB, a company with a shared ethos and a deep respect for nature and the people who explore it. Together, they are committed to bringing even more people closer to the great outdoors, ensuring that every adventure is equipped with the best gear available.

LOOKING AHEAD TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE

Under this new partnership, Trekitt’s future shines brighter than ever. With the continued leadership of the Trepte family and the backing of a global outdoor brand, Trekitt is poised to enhance its service and product offerings while remaining the trusted, independent retailer that adventurers have relied on for decades.

OUR JOURNEY CONTINUES…

Our story is about more than just selling gear; it’s about living the outdoor life and sharing that passion with you, our loyal customers. The journey continues, and we look forward to exploring the future together.

Decided to bite the bullet and invest in a new pair of Hanwag Alaska Pro Wide boots, unsure of the sizing and proper fitting, thought it best to try these in store, from the moment we walked into the store the staff were friendly, accommodating and informative. Really pleased to have experienced staff (many thanks Rob!) to guide me through the sizing, various footbeds and socks systems resulting in perfectly fitting boots. Hats off to the in store team!

Good old fashioned customer service with staff who know their products and nothing is too much to ask. Bought 3 quality products from them and am more than happy both with the service, as I had loads of questions, and the goods. Thank you Saul you were awesome. I will be back and hope to visit your store next time !
Am very impressed . Thank you 🙂

If you want outdoor gear then this is the place to go! A friendly and knowledgeable team with top quality products and quality service thats second to none. I have made several purchases here this year and they’ve often been cheaper than other online retailers as well as offering a generous rewards programme. I would honestly go here even if i found an item a bit cheaper elsewhere just due to the service. These guys have gone above and beyond to help me find my perfect quilt both in store and discussing my needs via email. They brought several models into store from their warehouse stock to let me have a look at with absolutely no pressure to purchase. They’re also dog people and Amber always gets a warm welcome so they’re obviously awesome!

Love this shop. Friendly and helpful staff. Booked an expedition fitting with them and they went out of their way to help with my many questions and were very knowledgeable. Pricing is always competitive but in addition they offer a loyalty rewards system if you sign up, so I was getting everything at the most reasonable price and with top customer service. Thanks especially to Saul in the office who helped me choose the kit and Tim and Debbie in store for their knowledge and patience!
