Royal Robbins today announces the hiring Kiwi Outdoor Representation, to cover the northwest territory which includes Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.

Kiwi Outdoor Representation is a Portland based rep group and was established in 2003. Agency founder ‘Kiwi Dave’ Cockburn started in the outdoor industry in his native New Zealand with iconic outdoor gear manufacturer ‘Fairydown’, and brings 12 years of sales experience to the job. Cockburn came to the U.S. on a climbing trip in 1999 and later founded Kiwi Outdoor in 2003.

"I am very excited to be working with Royal Robbins in the Pacific Northwest. The heritage of Royal Robbins is deep and I personally identify with the brand as an outdoor enthusiast, traveller and climber. Royal Robbins apparel connects the customer to their personal outdoor passion, wether it’s a short walk, travel to a new destination, or an extreme outing. That’s an important asset and demonstrates the outdoor lifestyle factor this line offers."

“We are excited to have Kiwi Dave back with Royal Robbins,” said Jud Taylor, director of sales and marketing, Royal Robbins. “He has always had great relationships with our retailers and he knows the brand very well from being a rep for Royal Robbins in the past. We will be well represented in the Northwest.”

Also working with Kiwi Outdoor are Joe Munk and Annie Nielsen, both Oregon natives. All three are active in the outdoors and can often be found playing on the snow, the water, climbing some rock, or riding the trails.

Kiwi Outdoor also represents Westcomb, Metolius, Evolv, Sterling Rope, Locals and Tifosi.
