Our Popular Clothing Products

A good hoodie is a must-have for any wardrobe, something cool, casual, and comfy for a chilly morning or an evening relaxing at home.  Our Everyday Hoodies are a favourite among participants, for a classic look; they can even be personalised by adding your name, school or organisation, and Award level.

 

Celebrate Success

Our Achievers Range is all about you!   You’ve put in the hard work, so why not treat yourself to a Hoodie, Polo Shirt, or T-Shirt from our Achievers Range, available exclusively to DofE Award holders. We have special permission to use the royal cypher on our Achievers Range; choose from Bronze, Silver, or Gold, depending on the Award level you have achieved. They are a great reminder of all the time and effort you put in, be proud of your DofE Award!

 

Specialist Gear and the Importance of Layering

If you’re gearing up for your DofE expedition, our Expedition Range is a great place to start. You’ll find training t-shirts, mid-layers, and waterproofs; all DofE branded, featured on the DofE Recommended Kit List, and provided by one of our Recommended Kit Partners, Craghoppers. The clothing you wear when you’re out and about on your expedition is all that stands between you and the elements, we suggest you come prepared with 3 layers-

  • A wicking layer- this will ‘wick’, or move, moisture away from your skin, our Expedition Range T-Shirts are a great option.
  • A mid-layer- this will help to keep your body heat in and prevent cold air from cooling you down too much.
  • A waterproof outer-layer- essential for staying dry when the weather plans on surprising you!

 

Merchandise

If you’re interested in something to compliment your new Hoodie or Polo, we also have a wide range of bespoke DofE merchandise. From notebooks for school or work, to tote bags for when you’re out and about shopping, rucksack covers for your expedition, and mugs for when you are relaxing at home.  We like to think we have something for everyone, but we’ll let you decide…

 

Every purchase from the DofE Clothing and Merchandise Range generates a donation to the DofE Charity, which helps us to reach more young people, enabling them to complete their DofE Award just like you have done.
