Serious winter warmth

When the temperature drops, the Highlander Boreas delivers instant warmth. Thick quilted 210T polyester insulation traps your body heat and stops it escaping into the cold, while a longer cut and insulated hood keep you snug on the hill, at the fishing peg or on the daily commute.

Windproof, weather-resistant shell

The outer is a windproof, PVC-coated 100% polyester that resists dirt and moisture, rated to a 4000mm hydrostatic head. Combined with a two-way front zip, an external storm flap and a soft neck baffle, it shields you from icy winter winds.

Adjust it to fit

Velcro adjustable cuffs seal the wrists, while a shock cord waist and hem let you cinch the jacket close to block draughts. The insulated hood adjusts with elastic drawcords and a rear Velcro depth tab so it stays put in a gust.

Practical storage

Two external zipped hand pockets keep everyday items within reach and an inner pocket protects a phone or wallet. Weighing around 860g, it stays comfortable to wear all day.

Built for UK winters

Comfy, warm and cosy, the Boreas is your ideal companion for British winters. Explore more cold-weather kit in our clothing range.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Boreas jacket fully waterproof?

The shell uses PVC-coated polyester with a 4000mm hydrostatic head, so it sheds light rain and showers well. The seams are not taped, so it is best described as water resistant rather than fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rain.

How warm is it?

Very warm. The thick quilted 210T polyester insulation, insulated hood, storm flaps and soft neck baffle work together to trap body heat, making it ideal for cold winter conditions, hiking, fishing or everyday wear.

Is this a men's or women's jacket?

It is a unisex cut designed to fit both men and ladies. Check the chest measurements against a jacket you already own, and size up if you plan to layer a fleece underneath.

Can I adjust the fit?

Yes. Velcro cuffs, a shock cord waist and hem, and an adjustable hood let you seal out wind and lock in heat for a close, comfortable fit.

Does it have pockets?

It has two external zipped hand pockets for essentials and one internal pocket for valuables such as a phone or wallet, all easy to reach on the move.
