Auld hands (Scots): so skilled at a trade that age is beside the point.

People whose working days happen in the weather the rest of us plan around: on the hill, on the water, guiding others through both. They wear Dreich on the job and tell us plainly what works and what doesn't.

Who this suits

• You work outdoors for a living — hill, water, or guiding others through either.
• You'll actually wear the kit on the job, not just for a photo.
• You're happy to tell us straight what's wrong with it, not just what's right.

The arrangement

• Kit every season, theirs to use.
• No exclusivity.
• Featured here and on our channels.

How to apply

Use the form below. Tell us what you do, where you do it, and which piece you'd want to test first. We'll get back to everyone, even if it's a no for now.

The first names will appear here this winter.
