Following from my blog post back last year, about the non availability of Golite in the UK. I recently received an interesting comment on that post from Joerg Wertli who informs me that Golite will be opening an online store in Europe. At present, as far as I know there is little or no stock with UK retailers and Golite won’t ship product from the USA other than to Canada. There does seem to be some supplies via E-bay vendors, if you search.
The website is here The site is not live yet but should be at the end of the month according to Joerg. There is a UK web address as well but at present this sends you to the Swiss address. You can sign up for an e mail update at the site and there is a link to their Facebook and Twitter.
Good news, Golite have some excellent products like their packs and the Shangri-la 3 tent, but their gear offering will be much wider than that according to Joerg’s comment. Let you know if I hear more.
That’s interesting news. Good to see you you back on the blog , Mark.
Hope new house work is going well and not too exhausting as I know
it can be !
Thanks Charles, apart the subsidence, everything is going fine! Just going to take rather longer than I anticipated.
After they way they treated their European retailers, I don’t think I’ll be buying from them.
Hi Robin, I know that Golite stopped sales through distributors both in the USA and elsewhere and are now going direct, but I don’t know anymore than that.
Interesting news indeed… I am a GoLite fan and would like to see their stuff available again
Let you know Matt when I hear more.
