Time to pull your head out from the sand, stop hiding under your duvet and face the sad undeniable fact that winter time is once more upon us. The first frosts are appearing for the early risers and if reports from the weather men are to be believed it could be a tough winter ahead. So, the question is are you prepared?
Have you dug out the big winter jacket from last year? Can you even find your woolly hat and thermal gloves? Have you got your thick work socks washed and ready to go? If you answered yes to the above, then good on you. Put your feet up and have a cup of hot chocolate.

These will certainly keep the smile on your face:
The extremities feel the cold first, so its always a wise decision to keep your hands as warm as possible. We have thinsulate lined, sports tech softshell and woolly polar options available.

There is a great host of options available including softshell jackets, anoraks and fleece lined parkas that will do the job. You can also grab winter coats that are waterproof or water-resistant too.
