Scotland is nearing its wettest August on record and whilst rainy days aren’t necessarily ideal weather conditions for our Scottish summers, we do embrace it and take the opportunity to put the Meander Jacket to the test. Recent downpours have reminded us just how important it is to have a good waterproof so we thought we’d do a recap on different waterproof materials and technologies and what to look for in a jacket that will meet any wet-weather need, from city to coastline to mountaintop.

Earlier this month I was fortunate enough to take part on the Virgin Strive challenge alongside the Branson family and a group of talented entrepreneurs. I felt honoured to take part in the first stage of the month-long challenge, cycling and kayaking through Sardinia to raise money for Big Change.

When we started Meander it began with an idea for a single jacket design. We wanted to make something that was stylish and functional and that made life more convenient for cyclists. On our journey creating Meander and learning about environmental issues, we realised that sustainability had to be one of our core brand values.
