The Mountain Hardshell is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a jacket. I was exceptionally surprised with the perfect sizing. It was perfect to fit all my layers underneath and still feel comfortable and confident in how i can move on all types of terrain. I simply can’t wait to take it with me on so many adventures, and to see what else Cortazu has in store for future products.

I began my content creation journey using social media platforms purely as a creative outlet, but then a little hobby quickly began to gain traction and as my accounts grew, so did I. To take my content to new levels, I found myself not only wanting to inspire people to get outdoors, but to teach people the basics about how to as well. It feels amazing when people message or comment that they have got into hiking and camping after seeing my videos. I think that’s what it’s all about for me, inspiring others to fall in love with the outdoors and find their passion for exploring nature!

Now this is hard to pick. Almost every adventure I go on is amazing in its own way. But I think I’d have to say my Solo Cowboy Camp in a cave in the Lake District, UK. It was my first solo mission without a tent, and I would be lying if I was to say I wasn’t a little worried. But it ended up being such a special time and I was blessed with the clearest weather I had had all year. Along with this came the most beautiful sunset and sunrise out the cave mouth that I had the pleasure of just sitting there and taking it all in. I don’t think I’ll ever forget looking at the stars that night - the sky was so clear. It goes to show stepping out that comfort zone can lead to some pretty amazing memories!
