Product of the week ... With winter appraoching, Hilly Clothing is an ideal brand to look at AS summer fades and our thoughts turn to winter’s training and the cross-country season, most athletes will probably be trying to unearth the hat and gloves they probably last wore in March.
If you fancy kitting yourself out in
some new winter gear, though, then The British-based athletics apparel and accessories specialist produces gear that is runner friendly. It is practical, comfortable and competitively priced too. Take the Hilly reflective jackets, for example. They are lightweight, breathable and water-repellent but also, crucially, will stand out on dark winter nights. Hilly makes a men’s and women’s jacket with both featuring air vents, side pockets and an internal security pocket for keys or coins. Similarly, Hilly also produce a men’s and women’s reflective gilet at a slightly cheaper price. In addition, Hilly sells a comprehensive range of gloves. Their polypropylene gloves have been traditionally popular, but now there are also runner’s elite gloves and elite windblock gloves made from Maxdry Plus, with smart features such as rubber thumb and forefinger grips for improved watch timer control. Slightly less expensive, but still very comfortable and effective are Hilly’s Coolmax gloves.
Hilly, which was the brainchild of
legendary marathoner Ron Hill back in the early 1990s, also
specialise in runner-friendly hats. But AW’s favourite items are
probably Hilly’s unrivalled range of athletics socks. ► Hilly’s reflective jackets cost £29.99. Reflective gilets are £21.99. Gloves range from £7.99 for the polypropelene knitted stretch gloves to £14.99 for the elite windblock gloves.
