Reacclimatising from a very hot summer to a cold, wet autumn can leave you underprepared and a little apprehensive about spending chilly days out on the hills, dales and glorious countryside.

But not for BCH Camping customers – obviously! Were you tut-tutting and eye-rolling there? Bad weather? Pah! We laugh in the faces of storms.

As our esteemed friend Alfred Wainwright famously said, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing”.

So, when you look at your kit for heading into autumn (with a leap of enthusiasm known only to brave outdoor enthusiasts who can’t wait to be reunited with the aroma of wet ground, farm animals and tractor diesel), it is imperative that you check you have a reliable fleece jacket in your armoury.

If, indeed, you do unearth a fleece from circa 2001, perhaps you should ask yourself, is this fleece breathable, how much warmth does it have left in it, and does it have a range of features a Power Ranger would be impressed with? (Not sure Power Rangers ever go on hikes, but you get our meaning!)

The Cold Ridge Fleece Jacket from Jack Wolfskin ticks all the boxes when it comes to a reliable, high performance mid-layer for cold autumn and winter days.

Let’s find out more. It’s Morphin Time!
