Sports wear on 'Railway Walks'

[chelseamorning]

Did anyone see 'Railway Walks' with Julia Bradbury last night on BBC2? I thought she looked really cool in her outdoor clothing. I do a lot of hiking but never look that good!

Did anyone recognise the brands? I tried to see the labels but couldn't. I especially liked the look of the red zipper top she had on - Adidas perhaps?

Anyone?

I didn't see Railway Walks, but I do like stylish sportswear. For outdoor sports I love Patagonia - pricey, but fab quality and performs really well. I have a base layer-ls vest-top which is 15 years old, must have had weekly use in that type and is not out of shape, faded, pilled or smelly!

In a similar vein, there is also Howies

and Embers Embers

For gym-mey type sports, I like Sweaty Betty and She Active.

Pearl Izumi make fab running and cycling kit, but it's difficult to get hold of.

HTH !!!

Thanks for the reply, BikeRunSki. I agree with you about the labels.

I love Patagonia too. I have a fleece which is over 20yrs old!! It was bought at a time when women didn't 'do' outdoors and there were very few labels specifically designed for women. The arms are too long and it is certainly not flattering! I wear it in the garden now.

I just thought that Julia Bradbury looked especially stylish in what she was wearing. I'd really like to know who made the red zipper top she had on underneath her waterproof!

I am now v intrigued about what Julia Bradbury was wearing and will have too see if I can get Railway Walks on iPlayer!

Check out her website. Some from the programme and some from other activities/shows. See what I mean?!

Try Icebreaker - they make merino ski layers which are very similar to the pale blue half zip top she is wearing on some of those photos. I have a couple which I bought for skiing which are funky enough to wear with jeans and (naturally) for outdoor activities and which are toasty warm without any bulky fleece layers.

Thanks, TRMJS.

Unfortunately I have rather delicate skin [precious emoticon] and can't wear wool next to it. I love wool. I knit with it (for other people), love the smell of it and hover around the wool section in John Lewis when autumn comes [howsadami emoticon] Just a bloomin' shame I can't wear it!
