Ran Fiennes
Ran joins 'the three dogs'
We're supplying Sir Ran Fiennes, Sir John Simpson, and Sir Robin Knox-Johnston with cold weather gear for their new BBC TV documentary series, Three Dogs. Sir Ranulph, whose records have included making the first surface journey around the world's polar axis, will guide the others on a week-long journey to the Arctic Circle in temperatures as low as minus -50C. All three will be protected by PHD gear on their journey including: Xero Jackets, Xero Salopettes, and Extreme Balaclavas.
In further programmes John Simpson will teach his team-mates to file news reports from a war zone and Robin Knox-Johnston will lead a voyage around South America's dangerous Cape Horn.
The BBC2 series will be broadcast in 2009.
