Layer Up

There’s an old saying that couldn’t be more accurate: ‘there is no such thing as bad weather, only poor clothing choices.’ If you’re going to enjoy a day out in cooler temperatures, it is important to dress warmly. Your winter outfit should consist of a base layer, some insulation and a waterproof layer to keep you dry.
