The Met Office has warned of up to 20cm of snow hitting five UK regions as temperatures drop to "just above freezing" in some parts of Scotland and around 5C in southern England. With the public urged to prepare for the wintry weather, mountaineering brand Columbia's new range of winter coats is perfect for keeping you warm. The jackets feature the brand's thermal-reflective Omni-Heat Infinity technology to shield you from the cold.
Originally inspired by NASA’s space blankets, the Omni-Heat Infinity has been branded as the "gold standard in warmth". This is thanks to the gold dotted lining inside the coat which reflects your body heat without compromising breathability - so you "stay warmer longer". The knee-length Womens Longhorn Ridge Puffer Jacket, £210 , gives an easy fit for a comfortable range of motion - perfect for a day trip to Winter Wonderland or a walking tour of the Christmas lights in London.
The warm insulated puffer jacket with synethetic down comes with a removable hood, a high neck, elasticated cuffs and a hem to block out the cold. With two side pockets and two extra on the chest, it's spacious enough to fit your phone and essentials so you don't need to carry a shoulder bag. For men, the Landroamer Hooded Puffer Jacket, £210 , is a similar style but with zippered dual-entry hand pockets and also a handy D-ring to keep essentials close while on the move.
It's available in three colours (white, black and khaki) and sizes between small and extra-extra la.
