Tog24 is one of those quietly dependable British outdoor brands that delivers great value without the eye-watering price tag. I’ve been putting two pieces from their spring activewear collection through their paces, from breaks on the coast to a particularly wet and chilly weekend hiking in Snowdonia, here’s how they held up. Read on for our full review.
Tog24 is one of those quietly dependable British brands that’s been kitting people out for the outdoors for decades, but without the premium price tag you often see elsewhere. Founded in Yorkshire, they’ve built a reputation for creating practical, well-made clothing that’s designed for real life, not just mountaintops.
What I’ve always liked about Tog4 is that balance between function and everyday wearability. You’re getting pieces that can handle a blustery campsite morning, a dog walk, a mountain hike, or a weekend wander into town – without feeling overly technical or overpriced. Tog24 gear very much gives that “throw it on and get on with your day” vibe.
They’re also a solid choice if you’re looking for great value outdoor gear and I’ve recently been wearing their women’s Farby leggings and their Arna hybrid jacket. You’re not paying for brand hype, but you are getting thoughtful design, reliable materials and styles that actually work for the unpredictable British weather. For camping, hiking and even snowsports, they sit nicely in that sweet spot between affordability and quality.
I’m a big fan of leggings, but if they don’t have proper pockets, I’m just not interested. They also need to stay put, whether I’m in a yoga class or halfway up a mountain, because there are few things more annoying than constantly tugging your waistband back into place.
Leggings are my default for working from home and my go-to on any walk, so when a pair ticks every box, I take notice.
The Tog24 Farby Performance Leggings delivered on all fronts. They stay in place, they’re supremely comfortable, and yes, they have proper pockets too. The colourway and pattern are a nice touch too; it lifts them above the sea of solid-coloured leggings and makes them feel a little more considered as a design.
I would say that they are generously sized, so if you’re between sizes, you’ll probably be safely able to choose the smaller size in these. At their full price of £50 they’re reasonable, but at their current sale price of £30 they’re an absolute steal.
As someone who is perpetually cold, the Arna Insulated Hybrid Jacket has already proven its worth during a brutally cold and stormy weekend glamping off-grid in Snowdonia.
One minute I was shivering under waterproofs, being pelted with hailstones from every direction; ten minutes later I was reaching for my sunglasses and unzipping layers. The Arna is made for exactly that kind of unpredictability. It layers beautifully and makes it genuinely easy to stay comfortable as conditions shift, which, if you’ve ever spent time in Snowdonia, you’ll know happens approximately every fifteen minutes.
It’s just as useful around camp too, whether you’re warding off the chill on a summer’s evening or just pottering between the tent and the campfire without wanting to commit to a full coat.
Those that know me will be aware that this is absolutely not my usual colour palette, but slightly safe shade aside, it’s lightweight, seriously warm and ultra-packable, making it a surprisingly versatile addition to any weekend bag.
The Farby leggings have already become a firm favourite and I can see them getting a lot of wear through the warmer months. As for the Arna jacket, the performance speaks for itself and if the colourway works for you, it’s a brilliant bit of kit.
Either way, if you’re looking for reliable outdoor gear that won’t break the bank, Tog24 is well worth considering. I’ve also got my eye on their Sienna Gingham Check Shorts and as a lover of a good one-piece, I’m already coveting the Emmie Supersoft Jumpsuit.
