    I was looking at those last year, especially as the snow fell, are they any good?

    I like the north face gear, although a little dear, looking for a new jacket this year

            I have a pair of north face gloves that I use in the winter (not for flying) but wondered about these or something similar whilst flying, then put my normal gloves back on again

              The Rohan coat posted here looks to also be an excellent bit of kit

              I was hill walking from an early age (over 25 years ago now) and Rohan was one of the top makes then and I have no doubt that the kit they are producing now is as least as good as north face gear.

                      Get yourself some Ski/Snowboard gear from Tog24 in sale.

                      As long as its wind proof, you really cant go wrong

                        Regardless of what you put on top make sure your feet are warm, bought a pair of Sunridge fishing wellies a couple of years ago. Makes all the difference

                          I have done survival camps, and they all say, feet, hands and head, the three most important places to keep warm

                          and a good base layer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
