Wildcat Gear will be closing its doors at the end of March 2019. With approaching 10 years of UK-made bikepacking gear behind us, it hasn’t been an easy decision, but life constantly unfolds to present new challenges and we want to make the most of those opportunities. We started from very humble be...

Might be using a Gen 2 tracker that stops tracking after 24 hours without being reset. The time of last update would be consistent with yesterday's start time.

I can confirm that Wildcat along with the family are heading to Scotland. We are heading to North from the end of May. It has been in the planning stages for a long while now but now the movers are booked. I will try and keep the disruption of the shop and orders to a minimum but I am sure something...

It's like the Pokemon, John - Gotta catch em all

Good luck, have a great ride

Probably an obvious answer to this... but how on earth do I tell what version of the Tiger I have? I want to order a tapered dry bag but I can't seem to work out if I have a Drover or a Wayfarer. Is there something I can measure to determine it? If you pop it in the scales a Drover weight 195g the ...

I managed to get to see the start of the Highland Trail this morning. Have put some photos up on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/Wildcat-Gear-190767730947154/timeline Looks like the riders are making the most of this stunning weather today and eating up the miles as well as the Pizza in Fort Augu...

Happy Birthday.

In true Barrington style we are going for a big mountain ride and we will hopefully see time snow too.

And it is a very big Lego set, has 5 books of instruction.

There will be a gallery of all the images on our website later in April. If we can arrange the appropriate space and power supply, we hope to have a slideshow on our stand at Bespoked next month too. Thanks for all the interest so far - we've had some really inspiring entires, and looking forward to...

Someone has posted a video of the start in the comments. You can see the bear on Ian's Jersey number 29 close to the start.

The route is 150km but less than 1000m of climbing so not a massive amount of climbing.

Glad you are happy with it.

Anyway, a parcel from Wildcat today. Another fine example of how cunning use of straps can make bikepacking kit so much better - a Mtn Lion harness. Anyone set one up on a Loop bar / Truss fork combo? It's intended for the road bike but it has more potential than that, I'm sure there's a cunning wa...

Send me your address (beth at wildcatgear dot co dot uk) and I'll email a set of instructions over

I am very sad to say that Ian B is out.

He has been suffering with a Achilles tendon problem and the Hike a Bike sections have been very difficult.

Hope the rest of the riders are enjoying the riding as the trails are amazing.

Some people may know that it was Alan G birthday today so a little surprise was organised for a special send off.

I haven't had it confirmed but the riders should have had birthday cake and a bagpipe send off.

Wish I had been there to see that.

Good read so far Paul, and great pics too
Looking forward to the next instalment.

And hooray for Dusty the dog

Is the digi-camo material still available?

I have just ordered a roll of Digi Camo, due in soon. It is only available for the Leopard range of custom bags.

Hi, I want to buy and Ocelot on the day not quite sure of size somewhere between medium and large, will you have a few? I will have a few in each size. I am running out of stock of everything but new deliveries are due next week. The Lioness is going to be around £40. These will not be available fo...

Will you have any big handlebar harnesses with you as well? The one for big dry bags I will bring the big Lion. Would be interested in how much interest there is in it and if its worth a production run on them. Will the Lioness take an OS map? Just dug out a map and checked. The Lioness will take a...

Yes, I'll have the Lioness to view but not for sale just yet.

Ocelots will also be available in all sizes too, and there will also be a chance to win one in the raffle

Will you be bringing these to sell? If so i'll take one I will be bring the standard partial frame bags the Ocelot to sell in limited numbers. I will also have a few Mountain Lions and Tigers too. That does sound very dangerous :o The custom Leopard frame bags are made to measure so will only have ...

Hi, Its all a bit last minuet but I have managed to arrange things so I can be at the start of the WRT to see you all off. Will be there from late ish on Friday. Will bring one of the custom frame bags we had on display at Bespoked for those who missed. I will also be bringing a very limited amount ...

use the small brush to apply thinly over the threads on the inside. Requires patience.

Do you have a red harness & lioness bag in stock, like the one you had on your stand? Motorman wants one :-bd Totally missed this post - sorry :oops: As Ian said on the other thread, drop us a line via the website and we can sort out a large Mountain Lion for you. What a great show, some of the...

Ian » Tue Apr 15, 2014 5:27 pm for the forthcoming Wildcat Jones bar bag Interested Ian, sounds good - any ETA? I keep saying "soon", but it never gets any closer :???: Was just finalising strap positions when Ian came up with the idea that a small battery lead port would be handy - for u...
