- The North Face Flight
BTN Jacket
£90, thenorthface.co.uk
On those days when you’re
not sure if you need a
jacket, wear this one.
Despite its exceedingly light
weight (it can be packed
away into a small pouch or
shoved into a pocket), it
offers decent protection,
being windproof, water-
resistant and anti-rip. It also
has two hip pockets for
quick-access essentials.
The perfect in-betweener. - Dynafit Alpine SS Tee
£38.50, dynafit.com
Dynafit is an Austrian
company that focuses
primarily on winter sports
apparel but its running
T-shirts are supremely
comfortable. This one
is seamless, offers a
four-way stretch (which
means a close fit that moves
perfectly with your body),
and is extremely fast-drying
and light to keep you cool
and dry while you’re legging
it through the woods. - Berghaus Super Tech
Baselayer
£50, berghaus.com
A wardrobe staple, this one:
the weave contains a silver
treatment that not only cuts
down on odour (Berghaus
claims you can wear it
more than once before
washing) but also reacts to
help regulate your body
temperature, keeping you
cool or warm as required.
The shoulder seams are also
reinforced for use with a
backpack, and it gives
UPF30 sun protection. - Gore R7 2in1 Shorts
£89.99, gorewear.com
Pricey but worth it. These
are extremely tough and
the 10" inside leg offers
good coverage for crashing
through the undergrowth.
The inside-thigh section of
the outer is stitched to the
inner to keep it in place.
There are two front nutrition
pockets and a zip pocket
on the rear. You may need
to go one size bigger than
you normally wear.
