We are quite fond of high-performance jackets. What we mean by that is well-made jackets that are able to withstand different conditions, while also helping you be at peak performance during different activities.
And this not just for sportsmen, but also regular people who enjoy being outdoors.
As such, here we are yet again with another selection of 8 jackets, with options for men and women. While we usually go with mixed brands, occasionally, such as today, we have picked one specific brand to take a look at.
Meet Mountain Warehouse, a brand that is frequently part of our selections due to their jackets. It was founded in 1997 by Mark Neale in UK. They design and sell outdoor clothing and footwear for a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, running, camping, etc.
Their products are available both online and locally in the UK and North America and you can get firsthand advice from their professional staff, which will help you choose exactly what you want and need.
Today’s selection will feature different jackets for different requirements, including softshells, fleece jackets, and waterproof ones.
And a side note, as of today, we’re introducing a new segment into some of our selections, where we take a look at some frequently asked questions about a specific brand or product. This way, you can make a better choice when buying a product, especially online.
