Best winter coats for different activities

Finding a winter coat to keep you warm and cosy during the colder months is always so important. When the weather turns you’ll want to reach for a big coat that’s super warm, can battle the elements and that brings a little style too.

See, your friends here at TOG24 know you a little better than you think, so we’ve compiled a list of the best coats to wear for the most popular outdoor activities we believe you need the perfect coat for; from the super exciting, such as skiing, right through to race-against-the-clock challenging, in the form of the school run! So here’s a round up of the best winter coats to keep you snug and stylish throughout all your activities during the colder months.

The best winter coats for the great outdoors

From skiing down a snowcapped mountain to hiking miles on a sunny yet gloriously crisp day, keeping warm and dry when you’re on your outdoor adventure is crucial. For the ultimate performance women’s jacket opt for our Montana Women’s Ski Jacket. This stylish coat will keep you warm, dry and comfortable in any weather. Not only is it water repellent and wind resistant, but the insulated filling is made from recycled bottles for a sustainable choice.

For men, you can’t beat the Nitehawk Men’s Ski Jacket. Made from premium weather resistant materials, it offers fantastic protection against snow, rain and wind. With its hood, deep neck and high collar you can deal with whatever nature throws your way.

And if you’re adventuring this winter with a little one in tow too – whether skiing or walking around a National Trust site – you want to keep them warm and toasty as well. Our Swift Kids Ski Jacket - Khaki Pixel is just the job. It comes in a cool camo print that they’ll love and has a reflective strip to keep them safe and sound when the light starts to go.

Best winter coats for walking the dog

Ahh, a frosty winter’s morning dog walk in the great outdoors. Or a walk around the block in the sleet. Winter throws up all kinds of conditions, but one thing that remains the same is the need to get your four-legged friend outside to stretch their legs and do their business.

So, whether it’s raining, snowing, mild or dry, choosing the right winter coat to walk the dog in is essential. You need one to cover all bases and different kinds of potential weather. And we’ve got just the right choices.

For the ultimate women’s and men’s winter coats, try our Beverley Women’s 3-in-1 Waterproof Jacket and our Denton Men’s 3-in-1 Waterproof Jacket. These fully waterproof coats come with a detachable quilted jacket, so you can layer up when it’s super cold or choose between the quilted jacket or waterproof jacket when it’s a little warmer. If you ask us, it really is the perfect jacket for all weather.

Best winter coats for the school run

We’ve all been there before. When you’re tyring to get out the door on a winter’s morning for the school run. Have they had their breakfast? Where are their school books? Is it PE today?

The last thing you need to think about is your coat. You want a winter jacket that you can just throw on and get out the door. Choose something that’s comfortable, warm and dry like our Cautley Women’s Long Padded Shower Resistant Jacket. The fact it’s long means you don’t need to worry about the other mums spotting you in the same pair of gym leggings again. But it’s stylish too. And it has a filling made with recycled plastic bottles – not only a great alternative to down, but it’s also sustainable. It will keep you nice and toasty on cold, crisp days and the fact it’s showerproof means you won’t be soggy at the school gates.

For the dads try the Radley Men’s Padded Long Jacket. It’s warm, showerproof and wind resistant, with lots of storage space for your keys, phone and school pick-up snacks.

Best winter coats for running errands

With the UK weather being so unpredictable it can be quite tricky to know what winter coat to wear when you’re just nipping out of the house.

One minute you’re freezing, the next you’re soaked through. When you’re out and about running errands you need to cover all bases but you don’t want to be too hot, especially if you’re in and out of shops with heating pumping out.

Our Garriston Women’s Lightweight Padded Jacket will become your go-to option for heading into town. It’s lightweight but not bulky, yet still provides warmth when you need it. It’s also ideal when the weather starts to warm up as you can fold it up and pop it in your bag.

For men try the North RDS Men’s Jacket. This down filled jacket will keep you warm but it’s also lightweight and breathable. Plus it folds away into a zip up chest pocket, so great for taking away on a winter holiday.

At TOG24, we pride ourselves on our fantastic range of coats and jackets. We’re sure you’ll find one to suit your needs this winter. No matter where your adventures take you this year, our TOG24 collection of women’s, men’s and kids’ winter coats will keep you dry, warm, comfortable and stylish.
