As the weather starts to improve, it’s the perfect time to head out and about, whether for a hike or just a leisurely stroll. In and around London, there are many places you can stretch your legs, from Clapham Common and Hampstead Heath through to a hike in Surrey Hills, the South Downs and Epping Forest.
But with the warmer weather also comes the need for the right kit – and this jacket from Highlander is the perfect thing for walkers. The Canna jacket is currently on offer for half price, and is on sale for £39.99.
This jacket is lightweight but still windproof and waterproof, making it a great option for spring showers and unpredictable weather – sometimes warm, sometimes chilly and windy.

A review of the jacket showed how good one person thinks it is: “Really good jacket for the price, good wind and waterproof quality. Good hood that fits well when windy. Nice fit, not too baggy on the sleeves.” Another added: “Went on an 8-mile walk a the weekend, jacket was perfect.”
However, another reviewer disagreed, saying it isn’t very substantial. They wrote: “The jacket is less substantial than I had thought, from the pics and description on the page. It is just a slightly heavier foldaway rain jacket. The two outer pockets are smaller than they look, not really large enough to carry a decent pair of gloves.
“They also have only one press-stud closure, at one end, so the pockets can gape open if overloaded. As a plus, the hood does stay up better than most, in a decent breeze.”
While you’re thinking about investing in your hiking attire, there’s also a waterproof hat currently a third off at Highlander for £9.99. It’s got a double layer knit design, with a waterproof lining which will ensure you remain protected against the rain or any other weather while out and about.
A reviewer loved the hat, saying: “Really good hat that keeps you warm and dry.”
