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

like this

I bought a TNF Apex Bionic jacket a while back to go flying in. They're not bad, (I now use it for other things), but I found it wasn't particularly warm in cold weather (maybe not surprsing from a soft-shell), but it also was a bit bulky in warm weather.

I much prefer Men's Gradient Fleece - Rohan Outdoor Clothing . One way out it's warmer (than the Bionic), the other (revesed) it's cooler, and it stows more easilly. It also 'layers' better. *very* versatile.

IMO, you'll need multiple layers to stay warm, so you'll want garmets that work together.

Rohan seem to be very functional, but understated. Some other brands are a bit of a label.

The Rohan Outer Flame (already mentioned) is very interesting. The Rohan Nightfall (down) is great but expensive. I think there's a reason the Rohan down jackets can command those prices. I do like Rohan.

Bear in mind, that down has to be looked after. Washing it may be a problem, as can be getting it wet.

Really nice. Already got some nice gloves from last year - these fishing ones (thin neoprene, with good grip)

I'm gonna look stupid, but I'll be warm as toast

Blessed at our club. We have a large static caravan with heating and cooker.
Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits always there.
Take it in turns to bring the grub, bacon, sausages, black pudding, whatever, and have a good fry up.
Still need the winter clothes for the odd occasion we pop out and have a fly.
