    Fleece gilets for £9.99. Hiking section
    Brilliant things, very useful.
    Wear one most days.

    Softshell jackets from the Sailing section – the one with the hood for £24.99 has been superb for winter walking. Great kit for the price, bit short for cycling though.

    The big, thick fleeces from the hunting section for £12.00.
    Stupidly good value if you need something for less strenuous activities.

    The £24.99 green or blue waterproof jackets in the hiking section are great everyday dog walking/knocking about jackets.

    Very impressed with all of the above.

    They also do neoprene diving gloves in 2mm, 3mm and 5mm. 2mm ideal liners, 5mm a bit chunky!

    Buy nothing. Test it out. See how it feels.

    Snowshoes are cheap enough to have a pair for the odd time you might want them, which isn’t often, even up here.
    But one day (soon) the snowpocalypse will come again and you’ll be ready.

    Town too busy with traffic – car park overloaded, didn’t even get in

    Just have to hope the Viking zombies wait a bit before the onslaught

    Their tyre levers are excellent.
    And they sell those tool storage things that fit in your water bottle holders.
