Walk Highlands Review the Keeshond

Walk Highlands Review the Keeshond

By Talyn Williams

Walk Highlands reviews the Keeshond down jacket. Expert testing reveals excellent warmth, packability and value for hillwalking and winter mountain use.

The hood, with it’s fluffy interior, feels super cosy and with the front zip done up it’s a snug enough fit.
