All your favourite sportswear in one place

What do we need to go hiking? Should we buy any special equipment before we set off on our first serious walk or is it enough to grab a bottle of water and a pair of sport shoes that we use on various occasions? Well, we’d say that two things are really essential: good company and good hiking shoes.

A winter sports jacket is an undeniably vital part of your clothing if you’re embarking on any type of winter activity. Your winter coat is the outermost layer you will wear, so it needs to be able to deal with anything that crosses its path when it comes to protecting you from cold, wet conditions as well as bumps and scrapes along the way.

If you’re hitting the slopes in sub-zero temperatures or if you’re looking for a little apres-ski protection, winter gloves are a vital part of your kit. Women's winter gloves can be found in a huge range of styles and designs, meaning they don’t have to be bulky or standard-looking. Whether waterproofing or comfort are top of your want-list, get to know about the various types of women's winter gloves available and make the right choice for you.

Everyone knows the benefits of having a great ski or snowboard jacket, and many will also know of the importance of mid-layers, but an all-important layer that is often overlooked is ski and snowboard appropriate underwear.

Skiwear isn’t just about thick padded jackets and skin-tight thermals, there’s an all-important middle layer that can make all the difference when it comes to keeping warm, staying comfortable, and transitioning from daytime to evening.

When you’re gliding down the slopes, enjoying all the twists and turns of snowboarding, the last thing you want to worry about is being cold and wet. A great snowboard jacket isn’t just ‘nice to have’ when you set off along the snow - it’s a necessity.
