Frequently Asked Questions

Is Highlander's HMTC the same as army-issue MTP?

No. HMTC (Highlander Multi Terrain Camo) is Highlander's own camouflage pattern, designed to sit alongside MTP and MultiCam by using a similar colour palette. It is a value alternative that pairs well with issued kit, but it is not genuine issue MTP. It is popular with cadets, airsoft players and campers who want a coordinated look without the issue-kit price.

Is Highlander gear good value and reliable?

Yes. Founded in Scotland in 1985, Highlander has built its reputation on practical, affordable outdoor kit designed for real-world UK conditions, from wet and windy hill days to weekend camps. The range spans entry-level through to more expedition-ready equipment, so you can match the gear to how hard you will use it. Browse the full Camping & Survival range to see what is available.

What guarantee comes with Highlander products?

Highlander backs much of its range with a guarantee, but the length varies by product, with some items carrying a long guarantee and others a shorter one. Always check the guarantee details on the specific product page before buying.
