Meet our namuk Ambassador - Kirsty Pardede

Together with her husband Hardin, their two children Arlo and Eia, and their dog Marley, Kirsty travels from crag to crag in a self-converted campervan – always in search of the next adventure. For her, it’s never about performance, but about connection: to nature, to each other, to oneself. On Instagram kirstypardede she shares life on the road – with climbing joy, honest words about fear and courage, and the little everyday moments in the van.

Everyday Essentials

Merino T-shirts

"We love all the merino tshirts! They’re quick drying and stay fresh for ages. Great for climbing life & outdoor kids."

Mack zip off pants

"Our favourite cordura pants that double as shorts! Cordura is the BEST for kids climbing trousers and in a van these are space savers! Eia adores the two tone pink and green :-)."

Chip rain jacket

"The only fully waterproof and breathable jacket we’ve ever had for the kids! It’s so light, we always pack it in the bottom of their climbing bags on days when rain might fall."
Why we love namuk
How often do Arlo and Eia wear namuk? “I think the better question is: how often not,” Kirsty laughs. “Probably always. Yeah, pretty much always.” Whether climbing, hiking, or playing outside – the clothing is part of the family’s everyday adventures.
“The kids love the gear,” says Kirsty. “The pants are great for climbing.” They love the zip-off trousers and are always wearing their namuk hiking shoes. “Honestly, everything – shorts, pants, jackets, fleece, backpacks – it’s all part of our adventures.”
Kirsty knows exactly what her kids love most: “Eia loves her zip-off pants, and Arlo his long sleeves.” One piece she especially raves about: “The Cordura pants – they’re incredible. They last forever.”

About Kirsty Pardede

A life between climbing walls, campervan and homeschooling – that’s everyday life for Kirsty and her family. For the past two years, they’ve been traveling through Europe in their self-built van – always on the lookout for the next climbing adventure.

What began as a simple weekend trip to the mountains became their way of life. For Kirsty, nature is not an escape – it’s home. Climbing, to her, is much more than just movement: “It’s communication, connection, emotion. And a beautiful way to walk alongside our children.”

On Instagram, Kirsty shares how her family grows through life outdoors – while climbing, living in the van, or creating little things from natural treasures.

That’s exactly why she fits so well with namuk.
