A SMALL, OUTDOOR SPECIALIST RETAILER, OWNED BY A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT TESTER
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.
Here's the thing about British weather - it changes faster than you can check the forecast. One minute you're enjoying a sunny hill walk, the next you're getting soaked. That's exactly why Highlander men's outdoor clothing created this brilliant lightweight packable rain jacket.
At just 310g (lighter than most water bottles), this breathable waterproof jacket men's is the compact travel rain jacket that fits perfectly in your day pack or rucksack. Whether you're out for a morning run and the heavens open, cycling through the countryside when clouds roll in, or halfway up a fell when the weather turns, this outdoor shell jacket has your back. It's proper men's activewear that actually works as emergency weather protection when you need it most.
The best part? It breathes. No more feeling like you're wearing a plastic bag when you're working hard. The 6,000mm breathability means you stay dry from rain on the outside and sweat on the inside - making it the perfect athletic outer layer for high-intensity activities.
