Connecting the World to Wales

Some companies chase trends. Others chase the horizon. Outwear Clothing does both — but with their boots planted firmly on Welsh soil.
Founded in the heart of West Wales by countryside natives Steve Evans and Gareth Wyn Jones, Outwear Clothing isn’t about flooding the market with just any outdoor gear. It’s about using a lifetime of hard-earned knowledge to handpick the very best equipment for life in Wales — a place where the landscape is as breath-taking as it is unforgiving.

Steve’s years as a dairy farmer and trout fishery owner taught him that clothing here has to work as hard as you do — waterproof enough to withstand days of driving rain, warm enough for January mornings on the hills, and breathable enough for a summer’s climb up Snowdon. Gareth, a respected voice in Welsh farming, adds his deep understanding of rural life, ensuring every product they stock is chosen with real-world needs in mind. Together, they’ve built a business rooted in trust: trust in the brands they select, and trust from customers who know they won’t be sold kit that can’t handle the job.
The brands they bring in — including the renowned Dedito range — aren’t Welsh in origin, but they’ve been tried, tested, and proven in conditions that mirror our own. Dedito, for example, is known for designing boots and outdoor wear that excel in the kind of wet, muddy, and unpredictable environments we face daily. For Steve and Gareth, it’s not about a label’s nationality — it’s about performance. If it can handle a boggy upland sheep track in February, it’s earned its place in the Outwear Clothing line-up.

Life outdoors in Wales demands a rare versatility. One day you’re navigating the rocky ascents of Tryfan, the next you’re battling coastal squalls on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. A farming morning might start in frosty stillness, only for the afternoon to bring relentless rain. The weather changes fast here, and the gear has to keep up. That’s where Outwear’s careful curation makes a difference: they’ve lived these shifts, they’ve endured the discomfort of ill-suited clothing, and they know exactly what will keep you warm, dry, and ready for more.
This is more than retail — it’s a form of local service. By testing and selecting gear specifically for the Welsh environment, Outwear saves customers the trial-and-error (and expense) of buying kit that looks the part but fails in the field. Whether it’s a waterproof jacket that stays breathable after hours of hiking, or boots that grip through slippery sheep pasture, the products have been chosen with an insider’s understanding of what works here.
The gear may come from far and wide, but the expertise in choosing it comes from a lifetime spent in the Welsh outdoors. Outwear Clothing is a Welsh success story in its own right — proof that expertise and experience can be as valuable a product as the clothing itself. It’s about keeping the knowledge, decision-making, and customer service local. In doing so, they’re building a bridge between global quality and local needs, ensuring Welsh outdoor enthusiasts get the best of both worlds.
Picture it: a couple from Cardiff driving north for a weekend in Snowdonia, confident their kit will handle the changing weather; a Pembrokeshire farmer finally finding a pair of boots that last more than one wet winter; a group of friends tackling the Brecon Beacons in comfort, no matter how many times the skies open up. These aren’t marketing fantasies — they’re the lived results of getting the right gear for the right place.

Outwear Clothing’s success comes down to something simple yet rare: they don’t just know outdoor gear, they know our outdoors. And in a country where the landscape is part of our identity, that makes all the difference.
So when you pull on your next pair of boots or waterproof jacket from Outwear Clothing, you’re not just wearing quality — you’re wearing decades of Welsh experience, tested against the wind, rain, and beauty of the land we call home, tested in the heart of Wales.
Outwear Clothing isn’t just selling gear; they’re sharing decades of hard-won knowledge. Whether you’re a farmer, a hiker, or just someone who loves exploring our incredible landscape, you can trust their selection to keep you warm, dry, and ready for anything.
