Good to Go !

Believe it or not, these three photos were all taken in July. You know it’s true because you’ve had July days that looked like each of these, haven’t you? And while we might dream of days that look like the top two (and be over the moon when we get them), there really isn’t anything wrong with the one down below, because…

1) You went out and walked anyway – go you!

2) There’s always a damn good chance the day will change, and you’ll be the one who’s out enjoying the magic moment as the skies clear.

3) Even if it stays like that all day, you had the kit to cope with it.

And that’s what this guide is all about – kit that’s ready for anything a British summer can throw at you. Yep there are lots of cool T-shirts, skip-happy sandals and flasks to keep your lemonade chilled. But we’ve also got boots that keep the rain out and jackets the keep the rain off; hats and headbands for a chilly summit, and zip-off trousers that go from windstopping combats to sunny-afternoon shorts in the wink of an eye. We’ve scoured that crazy, crowded market out there and selected options we think you’ll love, and which are likely to see you right not just for this wonderful, changeable summer, but for many more to come.

Because whatever comes your way, you’ve got this.
