Hello Del, you need to speak to your fashion advisor Rory - I hear FKW West Ham kit with flip flops and a red beard is the in thing :) .........imagine the pink slacks and straw lot would be somewhat bemused.

From what I saw at bisley ( admittedly some time ago) I guess there were a few distinct “culture” groups - camo everything - which can be a cost effective option from army and navy stores on line, Gucci Lakeland wear such as Direct Alpine and Bergen’s etc that cost an arm and a leg or best China 5:11 crap.

Personally I would go with army surplus gore-tex rain coat and leggings ( Czech army surp gore-tex is excellent quality, if you can get it ), Lidl thermal underwear, spend money on quality socks and goretex boots ( Meindl) as nowt is comfortable if your feet are wet and cold and a half decent fleece and gloves with army surp trousers.

LOL at this thread! I'm facing my first winter in the butts. Currently the weather changes so much I have a fleece, a showerproof, a t shirt and cammo trousers. All charity shop finds. My aim is to get 'outdoor ' lables at Asda prices. Years of transporting clothes taught me that the brand is mostly just a con, with only so much going on quality manufacture.

The North Face is good, but its sold out a bit of late. I don't spend a lot on clothes. I  just got some boots off ebay, cheap and good. I've also just ordered some army trousers off ebay, says they're unissued so I  will let you know how good they are. 

I have to say I  was a bit dubious of cammo and army surplus for work at Bisley at first. I wasn't sure if it was looked on as a bit weekend warrior. Obviously not ;)
