At Ballyhass, our mission has always been simple: to inspire an outdoor generation. We believe the best adventures aren't just about where you go - they're about who you share them with, the memories you create, and the choices you make along the way.
That's why we're excited to announce our brand-new collaboration with GROWN, one of Ireland's leading sustainable clothing brands. Together, we've created a limited-edition merch collection designed with purpose: Merch that Matters.
What is Merch that Matters?
This collection isn't about fast fashion or clothing that sits in the back of your wardrobe. It's gear built for adventure - sustainably made, durable, and designed to ride the same wave as your wildest outdoor moments. Think clothes you can take from cold swims to campfires, from muddy trails to sun-soaked cliffs. Style and sustainability, together.
As a certified B Corp, Ballyhass is proud to partner with GROWN in showing how Irish brands can do things differently - creating products that protect the planet, connect people, and support a thriving outdoor culture.
The Crew Call: A Competition Like No Other
But we didn't just want to launch this collection. We wanted to put real people at the heart of it. That's where The Crew Call: Ballyhass x GROWN Adventure Weekend comes in.
We're on the hunt for Ireland's ultimate adventure crew - a group of friends who live for the outdoors, for the laughs, and for the memories. One lucky crew will take over Ballyhass on 27-28 September for an exclusive overnight adventure weekend.
The Prize
The winning crew will enjoy:
- Overnight stay in our Bunkhouse Village
- Full catering + campfire experience
- Signature Ballyhass adventure activities
- Limited edition Ballyhass x GROWN Merch that Matters
- Feature in the official campaign shoot alongside the GROWN team
Behind the Design: The Merch that Matters Collection
This collab is more than a logo on a t-shirt - it's clothing made to earn its keep outdoors. Each piece in the Ballyhass x GROWN collection is:
- Sustainably made - crafted with 100% organic cotton and low-impact production methods that respect our planet.
- Built for adventure - durable enough to handle the demands of the outdoors.
- Designed with purpose - simple, timeless, and versatile so it fits into your life wherever your adventures take you.
This is Merch that Matters - gear that carries meaning, connects style with purpose, and is made to move with you, not sit on a shelf.
Why We're Doing This
Because this isn't just about merch. It's about celebrating what makes the outdoors meaningful:
- Adventure - exploring Ireland's wild spaces.
- Connect - celebrating friendship and community.
- Protect - making sustainable choices and protecting the planet we share.
By putting real friends at the centre of the campaign, we want to showcase the authentic spirit of Ireland's outdoor culture - the energy, laughter, and connection in its purest form.
