Why We Support Highlander
Highlander Outdoors – A Local Brand We Trust!
Highlander Outdoors is based just a few miles away from us in Livingston, Scotland, and has been a trusted partner for almost a decade.
Over the years, we’ve used their products ourselves on countless outdoor adventures, and we’ve come to rely on their excellent quality and fair prices.
The team at Highlander provides us with top-notch customer service and support, which has earned them a place as one of Wylies Outdoor World’s “Core” Brands.
As a proud supporter of local and UK businesses, we’re excited to continue our partnership with Highlander.
Over the last ten years, Wylies Outdoor World’s owner, Drew Wylie, has personally tested hundreds of Highlander products in real-world conditions. This hands-on experience gives us the confidence to offer their gear to you, knowing it will stand up to your own outdoor pursuits.
The Highlander Bamboo Men's Base Layer Long Sleeve delivers natural temperature regulation for outdoor activities. This bamboo base layer combines antibacterial properties with high wicking performance for extended outdoor activities across UK environments.
Bamboo fibres provide natural antibacterial properties that resist odour buildup during extended outdoor activities. The high wicking capability moves moisture away from the skin, while fast-drying properties maintain body temperature regulation during variable activity levels.
The soft-touch fabric offers enhanced skin contact without the irritation that wool fabrics can cause, making this base layer suitable for sensitive skin types during extended wear periods.
The close fitting design works as part of comprehensive layering systems for cold climate activities. Flatlock seams reduce pressure points and chafing during movement, while the durable construction maintains shape through regular washing cycles.
This base layer functions effectively under mid-layers and outer shells during hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and winter outdoor activities across Scottish Highlands, Welsh mountains, and English countryside environments.

A Personal Shopping Experience
When you shop with us, Drew, the owner, will personally assist you. We offer a shopping experience focused on quality, advice, and service, all within a reasonable timeframe.
Wylie's Outdoor World's owner 'Drew' handles all returns, and exchanges personally.
We offer a 30-day (from the date of purchase) returns and exchange policy. You may return most new, unopened, unworn, and unused items within 30 days of your order date for a refund or exchange. However you must contact us within 14 days to inform us. (Some items in our store are non-returnable) such as used batteries, and underwear for example. We must be able to resell a product again as brand new.
If you need to return an item, simply log in to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu, and click the Return Item(s) button. Please let us know if you would prefer a refund, or an exchange. Drew will confirm your selection and send you an invoice (If applicable for exchanges) and await your return to arrive with us.
Please, allow Drew 3 to 5 days to process your returns or exchanges. However, the "turnaround" time is often faster than this.
We ship to UK mainland predominantly. However, we can ship internationally on request.
We use DPD exclusively for all UK orders as standard. We offer free shipping on all orders over £100, orders under £100 are charged a £5.99. (Some long, or overly heavy/large items will vary in shipping cost)
Drew also packs customers orders personally. We ask you to allow 2 days to process orders. This allows Drew adequate time to process orders, be the sole point of contact for all our customers, and manage our website. On average delivery time is 3 to 5 working days. However, Drew is quite efficient. Orders are often processed and delivered in a shorter time.
