CLIMBING EQUIPMENT / MOUNTAIN SPORT ARTICLES

Outdoor stores are mushrooming, as are the online versions. However, like so many stores, most of what is sold is commercial material. Good for the standard audience who wants to be as cheap as possible. However, if you want something of high quality, you must hire Sherlock Holmes to find it.

The above, sketches more or less the situation that the consumer is faced with, in the field of climbing equipment and mountain sport articles. Most of these stores have beautiful interiors that cost a lot of money on expensive land and often a nice “A location” in real estate terms, which also makes it clear why the amounts on the price tags of almost all items are so terribly high! Climbing gear number 6, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18 are sold in sets of 5 pieces, and climbing gear number 5, 7, 9, 10 and 17 are sold per 100 meters.

 

A NEW APPROACH TOWARD SELLING CLIMBING EQUIPMENT AND MOUNTAIN SPORT ARTICLES

Founder of the SurvivalJack chain ir. Edward Vlasveld has a different view on this, and thinks the idea that the manufacturer must be in direct contact with the consumer a much better principle. The middlemen such as the Importer and Wholesalers and Dealers do not in fact add any value to the product, other than a higher price tag.  This makes SurvivalJack unique in the world of mountain sports equipment and climbing equipment. However, having your suppliers worldwide requires the necessary organization and administration, but that is the price an entrepreneur pays for being able to do business successfully.

 

QUALITY IS KING IN MOUNTAIN SPORTS

Furthermore, if one starts comparing the climbing equipment with what the competitors are selling in the great expensive shops such as Bever Zwerfsport in Holland and A.S. Adventure in Belgium,…the product that these chains sell is purely of a commercial nature.  The durability of for instance SurvivalJack’s static and dynamic lines is truly of superior quality, as are the Stainless Steel hook anchors and the ascender hand brackets with carabiners. SurvivalJack will soon launch its own shoe line, which will of course also be of an impeccable class. Below are a number of advantages and disadvantages of choosing high-quality materials instead of commercial one’s;

• Only buy once
• Reliability
• Material to be proud of
• Often visually much more attractive
• Much cheaper in the long run
• Better service when purchasing
• Better guarantees
• Faster deliveries

 

BETTER EQUIPMENT / BETTER RESULTS / HIGHER SAFETY

This applies to all climbing materials and outdoor or mountain sports equipment, from knives, axes, shovels and flashlights to the more cumbersome things such as tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, and furniture such as tables and chairs.  If it concerns other articles where the safety factor is not so important, it is easier to make concessions, but not on climbing equipment and mountaineering articles. Getting a second chance when bad climbing equipment breaks down is just as rare as finding quality climbing equipment and mountaineering equipment at an affordable price.
