I feel today’s Strands was missing the most essential of WINTER CLOTHES – ear muffs. They’re a game changer.
According to outdoorsman and author Alfred Wainwright “there is no such thing as bad weather, just unsuitable clothing”.
When you consider that this statement was made in 1973, long before the multiple advances in cold weather clothing, it’s an even bolder statement.
Wainwright – who made his name writing and illustrating walking guides to the north of England – was thinking of a woolen sweater, flat cap and a pipe rather than a base layer made from polyamide yarn infused with coffee-bean shells, SmartWool socks, a Thinsulate mid layer, a Thermoball jacket and a pair of GoreTex pants.
