Why We Support Highlander
Highlander Outdoors – A Local Brand We Trust!

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.
