Finisterre’s Coho and Arcus ranges

Prices: £65 - £90

Stockists: www.finisterreuk.com

Look good and feel great in these hoodies and joggers from Finisterre, the cult outdoor brand that lets you make an impact on your mates and not the planet.

An exclusive fabric system helps to keep you warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s warm. The Coho and Arcus ranges make use of Finisterre’s exclusive fabric technology - super-fine soft terry-loop Merino wool next to the skin, with a 2-ply organic cotton outer face.

The Merino wool wicks moisture away from your skin, while the cotton rapidly absorbs the moisture away from the merino, helping to leave you dry and comfortable. The cotton also protects the sweatshirt from inevitable wear and tear, so you can get the warmth and comfort of merino with the durability of cotton.

The Coho range joggers are a favourite, proving perfect for high activity or lazing around the house, as they keep you warm as toast when you’re feeling the cold and maintain your cool when you’re working hard.
