SEASONAL SUGGESTIONS

PREPARE FOR CHILLY STARTS

Wear removable layers like gilets, warmers and gloves, then take them off when it warms up.

BE READY FOR RAIN

Always carry a waterproof jacket or gilet that packs down into a jersey pocket, ready for the rain.

STAY BRIGHT IN LOW LIGHT

As the nights draw in, reflective garments help ensure you’re visible even in low light conditions.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

ADAPTABILITY

The weather can turn quickly in the autumn. Choose removable layers like caps, gloves, arm warmers and leg warmers to make sure your outfit can be configured on the fly to match the conditions.

PACKABILITY

To shrug off sudden showers and ward off the worst of the wind, always make space for a packable jacket or gilet that can be stowed in a pocket, pulled out and put on when needed.

VISIBILITY

As the nights draw in, it’s even more important to make sure you’re visible. Pick from our broad range of products with reflective detailing to make sure you stand out.
