• First top layer - long sleeve t-shirt or thin jumper

FEET
In average weather we recommend wellies with socks. ‘ Heat Holder Socks’ are amazingly toasty!
‘Warm Wellies’ are our recommended wellies until it’s properly cold.
When it gets very cold ‘Happy Little Soles’ and ‘Bogs’ are our recommended supplier for snow boots - Mikk-Line and Melton Thermal boots, the Bundgaard Sailor boots and the Bogs Neo Classic.
HEADS
Didriksons Biggles hat and Didriksons Southwest rain hat
HANDS
We suggest thick, waterproof ski gloves. We have found that Didriksons do very good mittens for cold weather. Although, we have discovered that most children don't like the curtailment of freedom that they feel in such bulky gloves, so, alternatively, we recommend a multipack of woollen gloves. On really cold days, fleece mittens on top of the woollen gloves will help keep the children's hands extra warm.
