If I had to describe Tilak in one word, I would say "reliable". Tilak products are made by people who know their customers well. They know the situations I get into and that I have to rely 100% on their products. Everyone knows this, from the owner to the seamstress. And I know and trust them. I don't treat my clothes well. Ten metres above the clip, I can't think about whether a sharp pick on my shoulder is going to accidentally tear a hole in my jacket, I have to focus on climbing. Gore-tex products are expensive. That's why I was surprised by Tilak service, when they are able to repair my torn jacket so that it looks like new. They just know how to do it.
I'm lucky and I have a smart wife. Years ago, when I was about to leave for the filming of I served the King of England, Olinka checked my clothes because we were going to be out in the mountains on very cold days. As well as being a nice girl, she's a practical woman. She was not lazy and found the right company. I got great gear for the freezing days. It made me look dapper and kept me warm. My colleagues around me were shivering from the cold as we shot and I, cold sensitive since childhood, was perfectly fine. I directed without chattering my teeth. Even in later years, whenever we were going somewhere where I wouldn't be warm, caring Olinka protected me from colds and rheumatism with great clothes from Tilak.
We have chosen multi-layered clothing from a Czech company that has an excellent reputation in the production of outdoor clothing. During the preparation and realization of the order, the management of Tilak was 100% helpful to us and thanks to that we managed to create a unique colour combination for the Mountain Rescue Service. In the two years that we have been using the multi-layered clothing, we can say that it fully suits all modes of Mountain Rescue Service activity. In the framework of further cooperation we use information from the manufacturer on how to treat the clothing so that its properties remain fully functional for as long as possible. We also make use of the manufacturer's flexible service in the event of damage occurring during the rescuers' work deployment. Tilak is a reputable partner of the Mountain Rescue Service of the Czech Republic.
As a runner, I first came to Tilak when I was looking for a lightweight, waterproof and highly breathable jacket. At the same time, I like gear that fits well, performs even better, and can be relied upon. After the experience of using and testing a lot of equipment, I can say that Tilak has never disappointed and can compare with much more famous brands in the world in terms of quality and functionality.
The Tilak brand is an inspiration for me and a confirmation that things can be done differently. That business has other dimensions than profit and costs. In our shop, we test most of the equipment on ourselves. Tilak is not a classic running brand, but the functional features, quality of workmanship and customer service are the reason why I use this clothing myself and also like to sell it.
