In an age of mass-produced outdoor gear, true craftsmanship is rare. Hilltrek proves that Scottish tradition and modern performance can coexist. For over 30 years, their handmade clothing has protected adventurers from the Cairngorms to the polar regions.
Brand Intro
Hilltrek is a unique outdoor clothing business based in Aboyne, Royal Deeside, on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park. They design and hand-craft jackets, smocks, trousers, breeches, shirts and accessories using Ventile®, Organic Ventile®, Cotton Analogy®, and Karisma Technical Fleece. From their Scottish workshop, they export to over 30 countries worldwide.
Inspiring Story
The Cairngorms National Park isn’t just Hilltrek’s backyard—it’s their testing ground and playground. Every design begins here, where the team shares a passion for the outdoors and works closely with professionals to hear their stories. The result is clothing that has been proven from polar regions to deserts, trusted by photographers, climbers, naturalists, and adventurers who demand gear that won’t fail when it matters most.
Who is this for?
You’re an outdoor enthusiast who values substance over hype. You want clothing that’s been tested in real conditions, not just a laboratory. You appreciate the quiet confidence of gear that’s handmade by people who understand your needs. Whether you’re a professional guide or a weekend hiker, you refuse to compromise on quality and performance.
