| ROYAL RUCKSACK |
10/06/08 |
Gordon McDonald |
We've had several reports of both the Princes buying Highlander products for thier military training. But for the first time we have a picture, courtesy of The Sun newspaper.
Prince Harry was wearing his Highlander Forces 44 rucksack for his 12 mile run in full kit through Windsor Park.
Our Forces 44 is one of our most popular bags. Lighter and more convenient than a patrol pack with almost as large a capacity.
The Forces 44 has an advantage over many daysacks due to it's full airflow padded back system and padded waist belt to make heavy loads more bearable.
Of course the entire Forces Range has always been popular with serving members of the forces due to their durable buckles and heavy duty XTP900 fabric. All this available in British DPM or Olive.
All in all, a suitable rucksack for a Royal.

Gordon McDonald |
Several new items were delivered just before
Christmas and are now on their way to stores.
The Night
Ops Headlamp is a really tough head torch for military and cadet
use. Note that it includes two Red LED only cycles so you can use it
without disrupting your night vision.
The Hammer
And Sickle Dog Tags are a new design for us. These black dog
tags with striking red print are great as a more fashionable
alternative to the standard silver. If they prove popular, you can
look forward to a wider range of designs.
The 7
Piece Storage Kit is great for holiday makers. Six of the
containers are small enough to be taken on a plane in hand luggage,
and the whole set can be kept safe in a mesh bag with individual
elasticated compartments.
All of these items are now in stores and available for order. Contact your local stockist for details. |

Assault Vests & Webbing Online |
20/12/06 |
Gordon McDonald |
Highlander is pleased to announce that details of it's new Tactical Vests are now available from the website. Consisting of a full range of vests, from operational vests with full military spec to more affordable Enforcement vests.
All our vests are constructed to our usual high standards, with bar tacked stress points and heavy XTP material for added durability. We also have a full range of military spec PLCE pouches that are fully compatible with current issue equipment.
For the first time we have also included vests and pouches that use a one handed quick release system.
This system uses what is often called a Spanish Buckle to allow one handed opening, and more importantly, closure on utility and ammo pouches. Simply pull the tab on the lock and the pouch can be opened, the pouch can then be secured once more by simply closing and reinserting the lock. All this can easily be done by touch and with a single hand. A massive improvement over traditional quick release or popper systems.
Full details can be found here:
