It is that good.
I’ve had plenty of zip-ups, light coats, 3 season this and that, but this might be the best one yet.
The fabric is heavy but has a large amount of stretch to it. Usually, heavy means “doesn’t move very well” but this is the right amount of stretch and the fit is fantastic. The material feels durable and solid.
So it looks good but how does it work?
Winter just hit Austin and it’s cold and wet. It was 44° and drizzling this morning. The Highland was perfect. I was warm and stayed dry and that’s the best thing I can say about a piece of gear. It does what it’s supposed to do.
Excellent piece of kit!
