If you haven’t already guessed, I’m going to talk about winter training gear this week with the help of JayMike. Using our 5 tips below, you can avoid getting too cold whilst training, and I guarantee you’ll enjoy the winter months a lot more. Enjoy!
Number 5 - Cold Mode Boots
Adidas are serious innovators. So much so, that they have created an entire boot pack designed to help you pick up your winter game. The aptly named ‘Cold Mode’ pack features all of your favourite adidas models, but lined with a synthetic down that is designed to keep your feet warm and dry during the coldest 90 minutes of your life. A serious must-have if you are 5 year old me.

Number 4 - Jackets & Apparel
That extra layer on top of your shirt can make all the difference. Especially if it’s equipped with some kind of wind breaker technology. Get yourself a training shirt or jacket and you won’t be sorry - there are some really good ones out there to choose from, and we have a great selection.

Number 3 - Snood
Nobody likes having a cold neck apparently. If you are one of the growing number of people who suffer from *checks notes* ...neck coldness? You have two main choices in this department; The Craft neckwarmer, The Nike HyperWarm snood. Both will make you feel like your neck is in the Bahamas.

Number 2 - Gloves
Now, cold fingers ARE something that I can’t stand. The correct pair of player gloves can make a huge difference to you, as you aren’t constantly feeling like your hands are going to fall off. Keep your head in the game and get yourself some player gloves. Make sure to get ones with a grip element on the fingertips and palm if you are someone who takes throw-ins for your team.

Number 1 - Base layer
The most important item in your winter training kit bag is always going to be your base layer. If you’ve never tried it, you won’t be disappointed. This stuff will keep you warmer and make you feel great without you even noticing it’s there. There are loads of different ones to choose from, but that extra layer under your shirt can make all the difference to the way you feel.
