Outdoor Clothing & Layers

Peakkit's outdoor clothing and layers subcategory covers functional apparel for outdoor use — from base layers and mid-layer fleeces to waterproof shell jackets and tactical shirts. Built for performance rather than fashion, these garments are selected for UK field conditions.

Base layers and mid layers

Moisture-wicking base layers and insulating mid-layer fleeces are the foundation of an effective layering system. Wool and synthetic options each have their advocates — wool for temperature regulation, synthetics for fast drying and packability.

Waterproof and windproof jackets

Waterproof smocks, softshell jackets and windproof pullovers provide outer layer protection for changing conditions. Compact and lightweight options suit fastpackers; heavier, more durable versions suit field sports and expedition use.

Tactical and combat shirts

Lightweight tactical shirts and combat trousers from brands such as Helikon-Tex suit military simulation, field sports and outdoor working use. Rip-stop fabrics, built-in pockets and elbow reinforcements are standard features. Pair with gloves and protective wear for a complete field outfit.
