9 UK Outdoor Clothing & Jackets Brands for Your Adventures

Outdoor clothing that is designed for technical purposes and specialized activities is an essential part of the wardrobe of those who enjoy the outdoors.

Every so often, we compile a number of selections, mainly of jackets, in which we look at the different types available and which would be the best suited for different activities and types of weather.

Along the same lines, we have compiled the country series, where we look at outdoor clothing brands from a certain country.

So far we have been primarily focused on Europe, and today it’s once again another European country chosen for this selection. The UK is one of the leading markets of outdoor gear, but the sportswear brands do not fall far behind, either.

We have picked 9 British brands that design quality sportswear and jackets, for a number of different activities, ranging from casual apparel to specialized technical wear for biking or running.

Let’s take a look!

We will begin with Sundried, a brand that designs active sportswear aimed at “enhancing your performance”.

It was founded in 2015 by triathlete Daniel Puddick and it made its official launch in 2016. He had noticed that specialized triathlete clothing was not meeting demands and thus set out to create them himself.

The brand’s philosophy is that of high quality and durability, at a reasonable price. A cheap product can only go so far, and for those who take sports very seriously, a long lasting product is essential.

Their products feature a number of activewear for both men and women, as well as jackets, coats and underwear. You can find clothing for cycling, yoga, running, triathlon competing and a variety of other outdoor activities.
