I bought a pair of Thinsulate gloves from Snow and Rock a couple of years ago, £12.95 and they proved to be of poor quality, the elastic around the wrist just gave up, but I stuck with them through thick and thin.
Today I was impulsive, so I went into Decathlon and bought myself a new pair of gloves, soft material, snug and warm, they look and feel well made £1.49.
Plus, I bought myself another pair of Decathlon boxer underwear, £3.99, brilliant, so good for hiking and running, the most comfortable and quick-drying underwear I've ever owned!
