1, Lightweight and Packable
One of the standout features of the Highlander Stow and Go Jacket is its lightweight design. Weighing in at just a few hundred grams, this jacket is easy to carry around, making it perfect for those who are always on the move. It packs down into its own pocket, taking up minimal space in your backpack, making it an ideal backup for unpredictable weather.

 

2, Waterproof and Breathable
The jacket is made from a high-quality waterproof material that keeps you dry in even the heaviest downpours. What’s more, it’s breathable, ensuring that you stay comfortable even during high-intensity activities. The breathable fabric prevents the build-up of sweat inside the jacket, making it perfect for both cool and warm weather adventures.

Available in a range of colours, the jacket combines practicality with style. Its clean, minimalist design means you can wear it anywhere, from mountain trails to city streets. The adjustable hood and cuffs allow for a customized fit, ensuring maximum protection from wind and rain. Plus, the reflective detailing adds a layer of safety for night time activities.

 

5. Affordability
For all the features it offers, the Highlander Stow and Go Jacket is reasonably priced. It provides great value for money, especially when compared to other high-end waterproof jackets on the market. This makes it accessible to both seasoned adventurers and casual hikers.
