TOASTY NEW KIT
SALEWA PUEZ TW CLT HALF ZIP JACKET £225
The TW CLT component of this pull-on hoodie’s name stands for TirolWool Celliant, a ‘reflective hybrid insulation’ made from natural TirolWool (from the Dolomite-dwelling sheep of south Tyrol) mixed with Celliant (a polyester with thermo-reactive, heat-reflective minerals). Housed in a water-resistant nylon shell, the Puez is warm and breathable, making it a great extra layer for our cold, wet winters. www. salewa. com
FALKE WOOL-TECH LONG SLEEVE SHIRT £99
Created for use in cold to extremely cold conditions, this base layer is woven from a mix of merino wool and man-made fibres for excellent moisture and temperature regulation; it also remains odour free. The zip neck is useful for venting as needed, and the cut is great for active use and remains comfortable under other layers. www.falke.com
ZIPPO 12 HOUR HAND WARMER £24
Not new but worth flagging up again as the temperatures cool, this lighter fuel-powered hand warmer is an alternative to the single-use variety and can add welcome comfort to a cold day in the hills. Being at the extremities of the human circulatory system, hands are often one of the first parts of your body to feel the cold. Getting them warm again, fast, often makes everything else on a chilly, dreary day seem more bearable! www.zippo.co.uk
