As the season for mists and mellow fruitfulness causes chill winds, frosts, and dampness to descend, it’s time to dig out the winter warmers. Don’t let the cold put you off getting outside – just invest in few essentials and stride out in comfort and style.
Your head has very little subcutaneous fat which means it can get cold quickly and nobody wants cold ears and chilled brain box! Our best selling WALX bobble hat in stylish grey and citrus large cable knit is guaranteed to keep you warm whilst rocking the WALX look and being seen too!
We love the fur lining which stops your forehead from itching keeping you comfortable as you step out in all weathers!
The great news is that it picks out the colour on your WALX poles and matches with our pole bags, leggings and backpacks too.

We often get asked if you can use gloves with walking poles and traditional strapped walking poles and the answer is.. yes if you get the right ones!
Key thing is that they are warm but not too thick and in the case of WALX Total body walking poles with the ergonomic handles, its a good idea to have gloves with a grippy surface too. Thats why the new WALX winter gloves have been designed to be warm, flexible, grippy and stylish too. With the added bonus of been smart phone compatible so no need to get icy fingers when looking up walking routes or taking and making calls!
Layering up is the best way to stay warm when walking and a Gilet can make all the difference as they keep your core warm without restricting arm movement when walking with poles. This one is super lightweight but extra warm whilst not being too bulky to fit under your favourite walking coat.
The good news is that it also comes in a nifty stuff bag so you can always have it with you in case of an unexpected chilly walk or even for when you stop en route. Also ideal if you warm up whilst walking and want to reduce a layer.
A great addition to your walking wardrobe and great for travel too
Don’t just warm the outside of your body – make sure you avoid drinking freezing cold water by popping your water bottle inside your backpack or using a thermal mug. Why not take hot water instead? perhaps with a slice of lemon or herbal teabag to add some flavour. On a long hike, try a sachet of miso broth for a fulfilling savoury boost. For caffeine lovers, this thermal mug is a perfect way to make sure you have a decent coffee wherever you stop toostay warm inside as well as out and can have warming brew in your favourite spot. It’s like a hug in a mug on a cold winters day!
