Walk Highlands Review the Woodsmoke

Walk Highlands Review the Woodsmoke

By Talyn Williams

The Woodsmoke takes you deep into nature's embrace, providing reliable warmth and breathable comfort to complement your journey across rugged landscapes and winding trails.

The active cut gives good freedom of movement, and whilst the Woodsmoke looks like it was designed for loafing around, it actually performs very well when out on the hills.
