Heavy rain and fresh snowfall will also hit parts of the UK.
However, the right kit helps you stay safe and comfortable outdoors.
Outdoor retailer Trekitt has selected key gear for demanding winter hikes.
This range supports walkers on steep mountain routes and icy woodland trails alike.
Tierra Roc Blanc Gen 4 Waterproof Jacket
First, the Tierra Roc Blanc Gen 4 delivers serious protection in harsh mountain conditions.
Designers built the jacket with PFAS-free 70D Gore-Tex ePE ProShell fabric.
The 100% recycled polyamide face fabric feels light yet remains highly durable.
A tailored fit allows excellent freedom of movement on technical terrain.
Meanwhile, the fully adjustable storm hood works with or without a helmet.
Velcro cuffs seal out winter wind and rain quickly.
Ventilation zips let you release heat during tough ascents.
Rab Mythic G Jacket for Extreme Cold
When temperatures plunge, the Rab Mythic G Jacket provides impressive warmth.
It uses 127g of premium 1000-fill-power down insulation.
In addition, a 7D nylon lining with TILT technology boosts heat retention.
The fast-drying Atmos outer fabric shields the insulation from wet conditions.
Zoned stitch-through baffles reduce the chance of cold spots.
A down-filled hood with a stiff peak protects your face from snow and rain.
Pre-curved sleeves support natural movement on steep ground.

As a result, you stay more stable on unpredictable surfaces.
The elastomer harness slips on easily and holds spikes firmly in place.
