It’s a time none of us will ever forget in our lives. The global pandemic stopped us all completely in our tracks. Holidays cancelled, plans trounced and social activities completely ruined. It’s for that reason alone though that New Year’s resolutions have taken on much greater significance in 2021. With so much time to think and ponder, we’ve all gained huge wisdom and are desperate to seize every single day when life returns to normality (well, we at least aim to not spend as much time on the sofa as we used to).

Pumped and ready to go when the time comes, so many of us right now are using this period to get out and exercise. And for that reason, The North Face has gifted us all with a brilliant January range to keep us warm and prepared during this cold snap at the start of the year and to ensure we get the most out of our training. Whether it’s mountain climbing or pounding the streets locally to boost your stamina, the outerwear giants have you covered.
Their Flight Series Futurelight Packable Jacket combines high performance with serious style and has even been athlete-tested just for good measure. Dubbed the ultimate trail running jacket, not only will it keep you dry during these grey, drizzly days but it also sheds excess heat meaning you’ll be at the optimum to keep going with your routine. The brand’s breathable waterproof Futurelight technology means the jacket scores top marks for waterproof ness. It’s practical too, coming in it’s own back stow pocket, it’s light and there when you need it.

As well in the range, there is an active trail t-shirt, 24/7 shorts and, not forgetting your head, an active trail beanie made from a mix of merino wool and acrylic which fuses durability with natural wicking ability making for a seriously comfortable and snug fit. And for her, there is an 80s inspired Chizzler reversible headband, graphic play hard t-shirt and winter-warm high-rise leggings.
You can check out the range at The North Face here with the jacket priced at £250.
