Hello I have Reynaulds Syndrome and my DC had started to play football and rugby this year and I am freezing and miserable!!
After mid-week rugby this week and Saturday football now I am honestly ready to just pull DC out of sports because I cannot deal with being this cold on a regular basis 🙁
I've looked online and on ebay but am just totally overwhelmed by the choice.
I am looking for a really warm coat, ideally a long one (maybe shin length) though I am pretty tall (5foot 10) so a lot of coats aren't that long on me 🙁 definitely not something that stops at the hips as I would be draughty!
The one I really like is the one Monica Geldart has in these YouTube shorts https://youtube.com/shorts/5QWsHDyO24Q?si=fpezMQmswNuggFbk
Maybe it needs to be windproof if there is such a thing these days. My friend had a stormproof coat from M&S a few years ago however looking on the website it seems to have been discontinued.
I am also finding my toes are absolutely numb and then extremely painful after standing on the sidelines for several hours. Are there any boots or trainers which would be really warm? At present I am wearing Uggs ankle boots which are lined and I would have expected them to keep me warm but they aren't. I've seen some other parents wearing riding boots and hiking boots as well as trainers but I don't know anyone well enough to ask if their feet have gone numb as I am new! Or maybe I should get some really good socks... If anyone could recommend some brands?
Many thanks xx
