Cold weather on the way

The emphasis in recent weeks has been, necessarily, on kit to keep you dry but with some colder weather forecast over the weekend we thought we'd remind you of some fantastic thermal base layers we've been stocking from OdloOdlo's heritage goes back to 1946 when Norwegian sportsman, Odd Roar Lofterød started the company by producing  training tights for ice-skating athletes that protected from the cold, and from there the concept grew to encompass a wide range of next-to-skin and winter sports garments. 
You will see Odlo products being used by many athletes at this year's Winter Olympics and we stock classic base layer pieces from the WARM and Cubic ranges. Here's a lovely pink example from the women's selection- men's alternatives also available (not in pink though). The softness of the brushed inner surface of this base layer is just gorgeous. The fabric incorporates functional <> fibres woven into it that contain silver ions which prevent the reproduction of the bacteria that cause smells. <> functions without chemicals, is very skin compatible and offers optimal climatic comfort.
Women's Long Sleeve Turtle Neck 1/2 Zip WARM top £55
Specification
  • Highly functional sports underwear with good thermal insulation
  • Soft, fleecy brushed inside
  • Good moisture management
  • Fast-drying

It seemed unlikely but yes, Chris Bonington was coming to Carrington. It proved to be a memorable evening that people still occasionally mention to us today. Standing room only with an eclectic audience of school children, Women's Institute stalwarts, elders of the kirk and a smattering of outdoor enthusiasts. It probably wasn't the kind of gathering Bonington was used to speaking to but his professionalism and communication skills ensured that his stories came alive for everyone in the room. At the end of the presentation we joined the scrum of autograph hunters and got his signature on a poster which we hung in our new shop on the day it opened. It stayed on the wall for quite a few...
