Springwatch is back on our screens and even after the teasers and first programme we have seen what outdoor clothing UK really means. You need to be prepared for every eventuality. Rain, wind, that rare event sunshine, cold as temperatures drop again – the only thing missing is snow and I wouldn’t leave that possibility out before the series ends.

The presenters all have their own individual style, especially the redoubtable Mr Packham, but what can we as mere mortals pack if we go outdoors at this time of year to enjoy nature. We all realise we have to dress for the weather, but it’s the additional gear you have to pack to cope with the foibles of British weather that makes it interesting.

The Bank Holiday weekend was no exception; Saturday and Sunday around my locality it was a case of shorts, t-shirt or polo shirt and pack a pair of lightweight waterproofs just in case, and you were sorted. Monday, different again with full length trousers, sweatshirt and fleece being more the required dress code with waterproof jacket packed away for use later in the day. The flask even had hot drink back in it on Monday!

However, whatever your kit requirements, here at Outdoor Look we aim to satisfy them and we always supply those top brands at the best discounted prices we can. So whether it’s a waterproof jacket or a new pair of shorts we can offer you a great choice.

At the end of the day you pack whatever outdoor clothing UK you deem fit, and take your chances you are correct. Alternatively you can stay in, feet up with a cup of tea and see how many song titles by The Clash that Packham sneaks into the show.
