Having the right clothing makes being out in all weathers that little bit more bearable. Thanks to the use of modern materials the choice of practical clothing is huge, but if you buy a few key items, you’ll stay warm and dry.
Layering is the best way to cope with changeable weather — starting with a base layer and adding a sweatshirt or gilet if you feel chilly. For wet and colder days add a waterproof jacket, not forgetting a good pair of waterproof over-trousers or breeches to keep your legs protected.
Here’s a selection of clothing to help you layer up, or down, depending on the weather.
