Walk Highlands Keep the Breeze Out With the Arro

By Talyn Williams

The Arro jacket blends wind resistance with breathability, ensuring protection against sudden gusts and keeping you comfortably on track, wherever your journey takes you.

On the hill, on a warm day but with a decent breeze, performance is excellent – keeping the wind off whilst preventing any overheating.
